Commentaires, feedbacks et évaluations Workaway - page 10

Grace was incredibly harmonious with the land, the people, and the other animals in the area. Despite her young age, her calm and peaceful personality was already well-established. She made us feel this quality both at work and at other times. She was always open to learning and hardworking, even in jobs she knew nothing about. Celebrating her birthday here was very meaningful :) Maybe we'll get together again. May you have many more good fortune, Grace!

¡Qué experiencia extraordinaria! Pasamos cuatro semanas. Teníamos a nuestra disposición una cabaña con todas las comodidades necesarias para disfrutar de una estancia excelente. Las jornadas de trabajo son muy completas y las tareas cambian con regularidad (hacer leña, cuidar de las ovejas y las gallinas, limpieza de las cabañas de los turistas, trabajos de construcción y reparación). Los horarios se respetan bien y teníamos los fines de semana libres para visitar los alrededores y pescar en el lago. Trabajamos con German la mayor parte del tiempo. Es una persona increíble que te contará su historia fascinante a través de las diferentes fotos del museo. También ayudamos a Daniella, su hija, y a Martin en la construcción de la ampliación de su casa. Es una familia auténtica y de una amabilidad increíble. Pasamos momentos excelentes con ellos y la despedida no fue fácil. No hablábamos muy bien español a nuestra llegada, pero todo el mundo nos ayudó, y nos vamos con un nivel suficiente para desenvolvernos en la vida cotidiana. Un enorme agradecimiento a German, Maricela, Daniella, Martin, Alonso y Simon por su acogida, su amabilidad y los recuerdos increíbles que quedarán grabados para siempre en nuestra memoria. --------- Quelle expérience extraordinaire ! Nous avons passé quatre semaines. Nous avions à disposition une cabane avec tout le confort nécessaire pour passer un excellent séjour. Les journées de travail sont bien remplies et les missions changent régulièrement (faire du bois, s’occuper des moutons et des poules, ménage dans les cabanes des touristes, travaux de construction et de réparation). Les horaires sont bien respectés et nous avions les week-ends off pour visiter les alentours et pêcher au lac. Nous avons travaillé avec German la plupart du temps. C’est une personne incroyable qui vous racontera son histoire époustouflante à travers les différentes photos du musée. Nous avons également aidé Daniella, sa fille, et Martin dans la construction de l’extension de leur maison. C’est une famille authentique et d’une gentillesse incroyable. Nous avons passé d’excellents moments avec eux et le départ n’a pas été simple. Nous ne parlions pas très bien espagnol à notre arrivée, mais tout le monde nous a aidés, et nous repartons avec un niveau suffisant pour nous débrouiller dans la vie de tous les jours. Un grand merci à German, Maricela, Daniella, Martin, Alonso et Simon pour votre accueil, votre gentillesse et les souvenirs incroyables qui sont gravés à jamais dans nos mémoires.

Even though more than half a year has passed, I still wanted to write this from the heart. Ischia was my first ever volunteering experience, and it honestly surprised me in the best possible way. Thank you so much, Claudio, for such an unforgettable time on this beautiful island. Even now, months later, I still think about so many moments there — the hikes, the sea, the simple everyday life — and every time it brings me warmth and a smile. I’m truly grateful for how welcome I felt from the very beginning. To this day, I still share this experience with my friends and talk about how special it was. I love an active lifestyle, and this project was exactly that — hiking, kayaking, and spending time in nature. It just felt right. What made it even more meaningful was you, Claudio. You’re a very kind and understanding person. You always paid attention to how we were feeling and tried to plan things in a way that everyone felt safe, comfortable, and included. That really meant a lot and made the experience feel human and genuine. This volunteering experience gave me so much more than I expected, and I’ll always carry Ischia and these memories with me. Thank you for everything.

Had the best week and a half. Adrian was able to provide varied and interesting work, whether that was chopping wood, prepping meals or keeping the firegoing. Long shifts were rewarded and was lucky enough to go skiing as well as free diving. I'm timed my trip well and managed to help Adrian finish the sauna on wheels which is awesome if you get the chance! Food was tasty and nutritious, location is stunning and was lucky enough to meet his family and friends for company during the week! Couldn't ask for anything more! Thanks brother, hopefully be back one spring/ summer.

Realmente disfrutamos la estadía de Paul con nosotros. Su motivación y ganas de trabajar fueron un gran aporte. Independiente y sociable, agradecemos las conversaciones y momentos compartidos. Un gran aporte.

Magnifique expérience avec périne et très belle rencontre humaine ✨ Elle à fait très vite partie de la famille. Elle s'adapte à tout, elle est minutieuse, attentives, elle touche à tout et apprend vite. Elle prend d'elle même des initiatives, elle est bienveillante, drôle, intéressante et interressé. Elle nous à beaucoup soulagé sur l'entretient de la structure. C'est une femme passionnante et passionné, très bonne danseuse avec pleins de talents que l'ont découvre au fur et mesure qu'on apprend à la connaître. Nous la recommandons sans hésitation . Gros pincement au cœur pour tout le monde quand elle est partie, mais la porte est grande ouverte si elle souhaite revenir. Mamma Mia, c'est une très belle rencontre

It's really great that you Steven did hard work during the stay with us at our property. We highly recommend you that he is very useful for your dream project. Warmly welcome back again. Namaste lhaso.

Bellingen is a lovely small town, with an enjoyable creek, nice shops and bars. The Guesthouse is so comfortable and relaxing. The managers are friendly and nice, and it is a good place to meet lot of people, and locals such as water dragon, possum, bats & others ;). The work was also easy to do. It was really a great experience. Thank you !

My stay with Marcin was a truly excellent experience. He was most accommodating to anything I needed and was infinitely wise about the surrounding area and lifestyle. If you enjoy living remotely out in rural landscapes, the Polish/Slovakian border lands are the perfect place for you to enjoy some magical scenery. Working with all the animals was a real highlight of my stay with Marcin and frankly I couldn’t recommend him higher as a host!

Kimberly and Rudmer are truly exceptional, kindhearted hosts. I had a lovely month and a half stay with them in their private guesthouse, helping to take care of their animals while one or both of them were traveling. The work is extremely reasonable and there is plenty of opportunity to help more, as well as to learn about local plants and wildlife. The caretaker home is private and stocked with basic living supplies (including wifi). It sits at the base of the volcano with a truly amazing view, separated from the main house by a gate. If you love animals, you will see plenty, including the neighboring cows, horses, chickens, turkeys, magpie-jays, parrots, howler monkeys, iguanas & the list goes on. They were extremely accommodating and generous -- always inviting me to go out with them to visit different places on the island or to come over for a coffee or smoothie. Rudmer and I went hiking with their dogs to the local waterfall, which I highly recommend. Kimberly and I also did crossfit together in the mornings. If you have the chance to stay with them, do it! I will miss them, the farm and the animals very much!

Chiara llego a la fundacion y de inmediato conecto con el grupo de voluntarios y el equipo de trabajo. Realmente es una persona increible, totalmente recomendable para participar de un voluntariado. Su empatia, proactividad y ganas de ayudar se destacan en ella. Compartimos hermosos momentos que van a quedar para siempre en nuestros recuerdos.. Estamos muy agradecidos por tener la posibilidad de conocerla y que nnos haya regalado parte de su viaje... Una hermosa experiencia... Buena vida querida amiga

Sarah was a huge help, learning very quickly, paying attention to many types of big & small mission's that I have in my garden. It was a pleasure & inspiration to openly share cultural experiences in my mother language English with her kind & gentle nature. Thanks Sarah for sharing your skill's, kind & very caring help. I highly recommend Sarah for her ability to let me trust her to care for everything so easily & extremely well.

Sara is such a wonderful woman, she's attentive, precise and has a strong will of helping when in your house. It's been a pleasure to have her as a part of our team, so much so that we've asked her to extend her stay TWICE! A quick learner she has been very valuable to have in our team, we highly recommend her as a person!

We had a really wonderful experience with this host family. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and comfortable. In a short time, we had the opportunity to meet many people, and the atmosphere in the house was very warm and familiar; it almost felt like staying with grandparents. We got the chance to improve our spanish skills and learn lots of new words! We are vegan, and they were very kind and supportive, providing us with all the ingredients we needed to cook our meals. We also enjoyed exchanging recipes: we learned new dishes from them and were happy to share some of our own as well. Overall, the tasks were varied and well balanced, including both indoor and outdoor activities, which made the experience interesting and enjoyable. We truly recommend this host family to other Workawayers.

Mathieu was a very good help. Dedicated to the work! He fitted well in our group and was a pleasant member of our group vollunteers! Thank you Mathieu for your help for the animals. Thanks for sharing your stories and we hope you keep good memories about our Centre. Wishing you all the best on your journey.

It felt like our family had welcomed a new member – connecting with Marie-Christine was so easy and natural. The kids truly enjoyed spending time with her, and she was a great help teaching German. We all truly enjoyed the time we spent together and it was a pleasure to host her.

Marie was very kind, caring & helpful guest, adapting well to the rainy weather with an enthusiasm to improve permaculture skill's in my garden & shared affection with my animal's. It was nice to exchange cultural experiences speaking English & cooking. I highly recommend Marie for her caring way's & wish her happiness for her future.

I had the opportunity to spend six days at Mahesh and Gihan's hostel for a Workaway. It's a beautiful hostel in a natural setting, very clean and peaceful! I was their first volunteer, and I think I felt that a little. The hostel is quite remote, so I relied on them for my few trips, and meals were only provided on the first day. I had to be very independent and resourceful because I didn't have access to a kitchen, so I ate out many times. The written communication beforehand wasn't easy to understand; being a woman traveling alone, I asked many questions about the environment that went unanswered. My main task was to create and paint a mural, which was quite fun but completed rather quickly. It's a fairly masculine environment, in which I didn't always feel entirely comfortable. For me, it was a mixed Workaway experience, even though the surroundings are beautiful. (I've already had the opportunity to do WWOOFing in France, so I have something to compare the volunteer experience with) Thank you anyway for giving me the opportunity to try Workaway in Sri Lanka.

Such a lovely lady - she'll bring beauty and joy into your space as well as being very thoughtful and precise in her work. It has been a pleasure to welcome Ruby as a part of our kitchen team!

I really really loved this workaway experience :) I immediatly felt like I was part of the family. I was included in all of the families activities and the kids are really lovely. I loved hanging out with the kids and also expriencing latvian christmas for the first time! Thank you so much, and I will for sure visit you again.
