I had a great time doing this workaway for 2 weeks with the host Rebecca, she is very sweet and helpful. The villa is 40-60 minutes from central Taipei by walk+train, but apparently they are building a new MRT stop closer which would make it faster. Rebecca is a really great cook and makes tasty and healthy food most days. The villa is beautiful … read more

The week I spent with Rebecca and Pin-Tsun in their beautiful home was certainly one of the highlights of my trip to Taiwan. From the moment I arrived I felt very warmly welcomed, and I loved to hear Rebecca's stories and talk about music with Pin-Tsun.

I stayed here for roughly 2 months.
Overall, it was a great experience!
People are very nice and easygoing.
Working outside might not be easy sometimes because of the heat.
But if you like any construction or renovation jobs, this is your place.
In my case, most of the jobs were building wall outside with concrete and patching walls inside with … read more

Laissé par le workawayer (Jan) pour l'hôte

I had a very good stay with Rebecca and Neif! Their self-built, and beautifully decorated home had been hit by a typhoon several years ago. Now they are pushing up the sleeves and try to give it a little renaissance. With the help of former workawayers, they already got a great deal done, so that I could stay in the old villa, where I had an own … read more room plus bathroom. The villa is situated in the outskirts of Yingge, between Yingge center and Taoyuan city. You can get to Yingge by taking a free bus (runs every 30 mins) or by taking a UBike. There is also a bus going to Taoyuan.
Close by you can find a convenience store as well as a breakfast shop. Some 20 mins walk away there are also some other shops. Central Yingge is a nice little New Taipei town, where you can stroll around the Old Street and shop for tea utensils and pottery. The Pottery Museum is highly recommended!
Our working days would start at 8.30 am when we would have breakfast together, than change our clothes and get to work. During my stay, that meant restoring the old kiln. So we pushed and pulled away old shelving and machinery and shoveled it clean of lots of clay and mud. Thereby we often would find stunning pottery, that we collected and polished. At around 12 we had lunch, afterwards a little break, and than we would get to work again. We finished between 4.30 and 5.30pm, which means that working times were much longer than the average workaway. You should keep that in mind when applying here. But in return, we were served three delicious self-cooked meals every working day, something that is also beyond the average. Furthermore, their renovation project is hard work but interesting, and it feels great to help bring some pieces of art back to shine again. So, although at the beginning I sometimes felt a bit frustrated about the work, I soon began to enjoy it (even the shoveling clay. The last days one could not stop me). That was also due to a very good and open conversation I had with Rebecca that helped mutual understanding and made me confident in the workaway again.
During the work hours, we, the workawayers, were working together with Neif, who is a great guy with whom working is fun. Rebecca also would join us every minute that her profession as a traditional doctor would allow her to take off. She knows a lot about traditions and arts, and she loves to share her knowledge.

Rebecca, Neif, I want to thank you for the great time! Can't wait to see your place restored and shining in old glory again one day.
