Commentaires, feedbacks et évaluations Workaway

Aytach stayed with us for about a week – unfortunately much too short, since she had to return home. We can wholeheartedly recommend her to any host. She has an incredible work ethic and brought professional-level skills with her. She did sewing work for us – in true tailor quality. She created covers for our outdoor couches, repaired trousers, and even adjusted suits to measure. On top of that, she also cooked very well for us. Beyond the practical side, the cultural exchange was wonderful and truly enriching. Although her stay was brief, we would have loved to get to know her even better. She is very attentive, calm, and easy to talk to. She also enjoys joining in when you go out somewhere. Any host can consider themselves lucky to welcome her. Dear Aytach – all the best, and if you ever come back to Austria, you are always welcome here again, of course also with your family.

Spending two months at the house was much more than just our first Workaway, it was an unforgettable experience. We felt welcomed, comfortable, and part of a family from the very beginning. The work in the kitchen was enjoyable and rewarding, especially learning directly from Dietmar, a fantastic chef always willing to teach. Christine, the house manager, kept everything running smoothly and supported both the team and the guests while making sure every day was fun and meaningful. Fanie put together a wonderful team was very flexible in adapting to our needs, and always stayed in close contact to ensure we had everything we needed. Sharing this adventure with Estelle and Marine, the other Workawayers from the team, made it even more special. Always smiling, eager to help and ready to share stories or play card games. The surroundings were incredible: beaches, forests, lakes, sand dunes, long promenades for biking or walking, and even Poland just a short bike ride away (the Haus has 2 bikes available to use in your free time). The accommodation was excellent, and the breakfast buffet every morning was delicious. This experience went beyond our expectations: we gained skills, friendships, and memories we’ll always treasure. A heartfelt thank you to Fanie, Christine, Dietmar, Estelle, Marine, and Martina for such a fantastic summer! We hope to come back soon and truly recommend this project to anyone interested.

Silvana is a great host and lovely person, I totally recommend staying with her if you're interested in doing some creative renovation work and if you want to learn more about life in Tenerife generally. I mainly helped her adding beauty to her very cute house, with mosaic art and crafts and painting work, and also supported by coordinating the construction of a metal fence for the window with a blacksmith. We had interesting conversations and often did different activities together in the evenings & the weekend. I'm glad I could stay with her during my first week in Tenerife, it was a memorable experience!

It was the first time for us hosting a family and we absolutely loved it! Lenka and Lukas have a lot of skills and are very motivated to work. Kids were great too, even our kids didn't always see it that way :-) We also enjoyed having a lot of great talks about life and the world in general! We would immediately host them again ;-)

Tobias is a truly wonderful volunteer! He has returned to us three times already, and each time he brought not only his great cooking skills but also his energy, smile and dedication to help with manual work and in the countryside. Reliable, kind, and always ready to contribute, Tobias has been a real asset to our Glamping. We are always happy to welcome him back and we sincerely hope to host him again in the future.

Jules was such a joy to host! He is such a wonderful and talented guy. We loved hearing his musical talents, and he was always up for an adventure, whether it was hiking or just doing a random job. Whatever he does, he does it whole-heartedly. It was a blessing to have him volunteer with us and I know he'll have many more adventures ahead of him!

Momoka and Takaaki stayed with us for a few weeks. They are very respectful, clean, can follow working instructions and are very kind. Our youngest kid loved to play with them. I highly recommend hosting them :-)

Marc was such an asset to us while he was here. He planned to come for only a few weeks, but ended up staying for almost 2 months! Marc is willing to jump intto any project - we had him doing all sorts of things from cleaning to woodworking to researching accessible doors. He always put his best foot forward. Beyond work, Marc is a kind, welcoming, and fun-loving guy who goes out of his way for others. Any place would be lucky to host him!

Querido Fabián: Queremos expresarte nuestro más sincero agradecimiento por el valioso voluntariado que realizaste en Pacho, compartiendo tu conocimiento y tu tiempo con los niños de nuestra escuela. Tu profesionalismo, dedicación y la preparación de cada una de tus clases reflejaron siempre tu compromiso y amor por la enseñanza. Con tu voluntad, esfuerzo y entusiasmo lograste mantener a los niños atentos e interesados en cada aprendizaje, dejando en ellos no solo conocimientos de inglés, sino también un ejemplo de entrega y motivación. Para nosotros fue magnífico tenerte en nuestra casa, compartir contigo y aprender de tu forma de trabajar. Siempre podrás contar con nosotros: aquí tendrás un lugar especial y una familia que te recuerda con gratitud y cariño.

I felt welcome right from the moment I arrived. The volunteers were friendly and Robert helped set up my tent and was attentive to my enquiries. The daily work isn't very strict and regimented, which allows for more freedom given we've communicated. I had no prior expirence working with earth or doing natural building but I received guidance from others as well as Robert and I managed to feel more comfortable doing the work. There is a dog at the village which takes some using to as it still needs training and a cat that is on the lookout for food, but nothing seriously troubling. It was a great expirence. Next year hopefully I'm coming again with my car. Thanks Robert for the opportunity

From the moment Tessa, a strong, tall, and beautiful woman, stayed as my guest, I felt lovingly accompanied and wonderfully supported with my many, sometimes overwhelming tasks. Whenever I asked her for help, she had usually already done it. She is independent, practically skilled, and never hesitates to lend a hand. One night, she even drove rented film equipment back to Berlin on her own and returned it to the rental company. She really enjoyed cooking and preserving food. The passion for savoring the delicious results was something we gladly shared together. She always approached everything with great care and cleanliness. Thanks to her, my cellar is now filled with delicious treats. Thank you, Tessa – I truly hope you’ll come back soon!

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend 2 weeks with Nirmal and Sid on the most gorgeous piece of land. You can tell the amount of love and passion sid has put into creating his farm and farm stay. I learnt so much from the both of them and Nirmal kindly let me join in on her permaculture course with was very insightful. The work was very hands on and it was amazing learning new skills from the local workers. I had a really nice time here, (and not to mention the food was amazing!!!!)

I spent two wonderful weeks at the home of Benjamin and his lovely family! The whole stay they made me feel like being a part of their family. It was a pleasure to help them out in the garden. The work was not hard, and the schedule was very flexible, which gave me plenty of time to explore the area. Benjamin is not only a great host but also an excellent tour guide ;) I truly enjoyed the time we spent together, whether working, eating, drinking a cup of tea or discovering the surroundings. Thank you so much for everything - I can truly recommend this place!

Thanks, Oskar. You and Aron were great guys. Always ready to help. I hope to see you again in the future. Good luck! Gabriel

Christine and Kevin helped me in the garden and I felt such a weight lifted as they helped me tackle some jobs that are so much harder by yourself. They got stuck in even when wet and miserable. So thank you guys very much. They where easy to get along with friendly, accommodating and fun. We really enjoyed their company, help, and learning about Singapore. That was really interesting. We hope they have a super great year here in our beautiful country. Safe travels and that we get to see you again fingers crossed.

I love Sara and Daan, they are great honest people, easy to talk to, responsible and mature! with a big heart!!! Sara helped me incredibly with my computer and Daan (we called him:"The becoming handy man" helped me greatly in the land. I certainly recommend them to everyone!!!!

Aw Jenni. You are a blessing indeed. You reached out to arrive here at the Sanctuary at exactly the same time we needed you!! 🦋 That told us right away this was synchronicity at its best!! Divinely orchestrated!!💐💥✨ We needed a substitute teacher for our daughter and you were perfect! Now Jojo has traveled the world with you learning about continents, countries, cultures first hand from you and the experiences you have lived. 🌎 You are marvelously creative!! Thank you for all your creations with precious stones.... Everytime we see them hanging in the sanctuary we will think of you and send you love ❤️ All the new desserts that Jojo has learned to make from different cultures. We're going to miss you. You became part of our family and I know Jojo 🍁🍂 will miss you so much more. You really became more than a teacher, you were her companion and friend. Thank you for helping us with all the cleaning around the sanctuary. You used your initiative and did what needed to be done - cleaning, tending the garden, watering plants. I wish you ever more deeper, truer, transformative experiences where ever you go. May you be safe always and may love surround you always.💓🙏🏻 With much love 😘 The Earth Community

This was my first workaway experience and it was very good! I loved staying with the animals and helping around. Denise and Vincent are good person that took care of me and always helped if I needed. It was my first time working in a farm and they showed me what a beautiful place it is. There were goats, lamas, sheeps a lot of different chickens and the lovely dogs. I loved playing around with the dogs, feeds the animals, cleaning the baby ducks and a lot more... Thank you Denise for everything, an experience that I'll do again ❤

We had a wonderful time with Shakti. She has created a truly special place that reflects the warmth and kindness she radiates herself. From the very first moment, she made us feel at home. Shakti is a deeply harmonious and caring person who always makes sure that everyone around her feels comfortable. We helped her with all kinds of tasks in and around the house. Marla and Rieke created a mosaic in one of her rooms, while Jonas spent much of our time in Italy working on various handicraft projects. Shakti always cared deeply about our well-being and even let us use her second car, which allowed us to explore many places we might never have discovered otherwise. Shakti holds a very special place in our hearts. She made our stay in Italy an unforgettable experience. Thank you, dear Shakti, for the wonderful time we shared!

Anne & Frank is a very kind couple and are the managers of the place. They are allways open for a chat. The communication was clear and easy (: As well the employes Stephan & Abishek are very symphatik and funny characters haha Bastorf is indeed a perfect start point for bycicling on the beach. I had a pleasant time and hope we will see us again
