Commentaires, feedbacks et évaluations Workaway - page 4

Adam is a good man. Know allot even if he is young. Did every task so gyd. We will miss his storytelling 😁

They are such a sweet couple. They don't let you down. They did everything and some more. Always ready to help, learning fast and interesting in everything. We all had a really good time.

Lisa and Anton stayed with us for a week. During that short time they were a fantastic help. They harvested rhubarb and weeded very many square meters of hardy weeds in our garden. They were also so very kind to come with Mark on a trip to transport some heavy furniture one evening. Lisa and Anton were always cheerful and positive and it was a joy to have them around. They were also very patient with my bad German when playing board games. We hope they come back!

Gesa was a pleasure, she welcomed us into her home did everything to make us feel comfortable. Making sure we had enough blankets, choosing a room we preferred and making room for a computer work space. We were free to all items in the fridge and could cook freely. We enjoyed preparing her garden for the season, painting the windows frames and an exterior bench. Maya is the cutest and great off leash on a walk. However she doesn't like being in the back seat of the car. She was great company in the garden. Gesa helped us mail item back home and our conversations were lovely each evening when she returned from work. We were glad to learn some cooking tricks, and finally get to try German Doner. Dresden is a great city and 10 was not enough. We left Dresden for China, so our feedback is a bit delayed. But we will keep in contact with Gesa, her generosity and kindness made our workaway even more memorable. We will have to get time for hiking the next time.

I couldn't be more grateful to Bjarni. He is an incredibly generous person and made this experience unforgettable. His love of books and Icelandic culture is inspiring, his knowledge is remarkable, and above all, he was always kind, helpful, and did everything he could to make us feel at home. Personally, I was deeply touched by this experience, and I haven't been quite the same since. It was a meaningful and transformative time for me. The other Workawayers were wonderful as well, and sharing this journey with them made it even more special. Takk fyrir Bjarni.

Jeanne came from France, the backpack was almost the same size and turned out to contain many qualifications: She is open and curious, a yes person who tackles tasks with positive energy. She paints doors, cleans, makes jam and French omelets. During breaks, at meals and on excursions we have had many interesting conversations, and she also has a good head. After 3 weeks we sent Jeanne on by ferry north from Hirtshals. Give her a warm welcome.

I really enjoyed my 6 days stay with Hiro. He is a very communicative person and always happy to share suggestions on how to explore and appreciate the city. I also had the chance to taste and watch the preparation of his plum wine, which was delicious. We spent some fun time together, and thanks to Hiro I was able to discover different neighborhoods of Tokyo and learn more about Japanese culture. The other roommates were also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Regarding the work, the schedule is very flexible. Hiro is open to discussing and organizing the tasks that need to be completed during your stay, but after that everyone is free to manage their days independently. There are no fixed working hours. During my stay, I helped with cleaning parts of the bathroom and kitchen and painted a section of the mural. There are still a few empty spots left, so you can find your own space to contribute. I slept in a tent inside the house, located on the landing outside the three housemates' rooms. There was not much space to store personal belongings, and it is true that the house can be a bit dusty, a certain level of adaptability is needed. However, for a short stay, and considering the opportunity to live with local people and spend quality time together, I would still describe the experience as a positive one. Thank you, Hiro, for your hospitality and for sharing a part of your life and culture with me 🤗

Anina and Kevin were extremely helpful, took initiatives and became part of the team almost immediately. Polite, generous and hardworking they are the perfect guests for any host. Thank you for everything!

Un charmant couple, toujours souriant, qui participe activement au fonctionnement de la maison et m'a fait un magnifique plan de travail 🎁 !!! Bravo ! Je les recommande+++

Riccardo est un charmant jeune homme, avec qui il a été très intéressant d'échanger en anglais. Il participe sans hésiter aux tâches proposées, qu'il faut bien lister et expliciter. Une bonne aide pour nous !

Roos and Alwin stayed with me at the ranch for a week, and honestly… they were amazing. From the very first day, they blended in effortlessly and helped wherever they could, always with a calm, positive and respectful attitude. They supported me with a wide range of tasks: painting and building projects, cleaning up after the horses, weeding and general land maintenance, cleaning and organising and jumping in wherever help was needed. What I appreciated most is that they don’t wait to be told what to do — they see what needs to be done and simply do it. They work independently just as well as together, and everything they touch is done with care and attention. Roos brings a very gentle, thoughtful and warm energy, combined with a strong work ethic. Alwin is calm, reliable and practical, and together they form a really balanced, grounded team. Communication was easy, clear and open, and having them around felt light, respectful and harmonious. On top of all that, they are just genuinely lovely people to have around: kind, trustworthy, considerate and easy-going. I felt completely comfortable leaving things in their hands. I truly loved having them here and would welcome them back anytime without hesitation. Any host would be lucky to have Roos and Alwin! I can recommend them 100% from the heart.

Annamaria and Feri are a super kind and well educated couple. I learned a lot from them about horses and overall animal care. They invited me to a couple of local parties. I really appreciated their friendly disposition. I arrived during a nasty heat wave and was in poor condition, so I unfortunately needed to cut the visit short. If you want to learn about horses, animal welfare and Hungarian culture, I would recommend a stay at their farm!

Oskar est un charmant jeune homme très respectueux, qui s'est très bien occupé de notre fille de 10 aussi bien pour travailler que pour jouer avec elle.

Max is a very confident, talented young man interested in and good at loads of different things. With our Workawayers, it’s not just their willingness and quality of work that matters but also their contribution socially round the supper table. Max delivers on all counts – bright, knowledgeable, likes reading, and as a top-level tennis player, in top notch physical shape. On the work front, he was a dab hand with his phone, looking up all sorts of things including putting a bed together without having the instructions and opening a swimming pool. He patiently used our Kircher, cleaning masses of winter dirt off the stone paving surrounding the pool and the courtyard. He was up ladders hacking back vines from the gutters, He heaped logs on the wood pile, and cut back hedges, brambles and dead branches, contributing to two huge bonfires. He was very appreciative of our cooking – talking a lot about food and drink! He’s very much the kind of guy who will go places. We wish him a great future. He’s very welcome to come back anytime.

Living nearby, I came to help at Sabine's place punctually, and I can only recommend! Sabine and her family are wonderfully kind people :) Already on my short stay there I started to learn a new skill, the place is peaceful and I ate delicious things :))

Jonathan was a good help and we stayed in touch.

Jill è stata una presenza positiva nella nostra casa. Durante il suo soggiorno si è presa cura dei nostri cani con grande affetto e attenzione, dedicandosi alle passeggiate e al loro benessere quotidiano. In casa è stata molto ordinata, rispettosa degli spazi comuni e sempre pronta ad aiutare quando ce n'era bisogno. Si è mostrata disponibile, collaborativa e gentile durante tutta l'esperienza. Ha apprezzato la nostra zona, i mercati locali e i luoghi che le abbiamo consigliato di visitare, mostrando curiosità e interesse per il territorio. Inoltre, ci ha preparato un'ottima cena che abbiamo molto gradito. È stata sempre molto gentile con i nostri bambini e ha contribuito a creare un'atmosfera serena e piacevole in famiglia. Nel complesso ci siamo trovati bene con lei e la consigliamo come ospite e come aiuto in casa e con gli animali.

Marzia and Tomasso were an absolute dream team. They followed directions exceptionally well while also bringing their own valuable ideas and creativity to the project. They adapted easily to changes, showed great initiative, and were always resourceful when faced with challenges. One of their biggest contributions was organizing my entire Google Drive, creating order and structure that will continue to benefit the project long after their stay. They treated the property with care and respect, as if it were their own home, and they were genuinely kind, pleasant people to have around. I asked them to create social media content, and they delivered exactly what I was looking for—and much more. They took their responsibilities seriously, maintained excellent communication, and regularly reported on their progress so I could easily follow what was being accomplished. I would not hesitate to host them again. Any host would be lucky to have Marzia and Tomasso as volunteers. Highly recommended.

I appreciate this recommendation very much.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Alex & Katharina and would welcome them back anytime. Although their arrival was delayed, they kept us well informed throughout and communication was excellent from start to finish. Once they arrived, they settled in quickly and became a wonderful part of our family life. They are the kind of people who don't wait to be told what to do. They notice what needs doing and simply get on with it. Whether it was helping with projects, household chores, cooking, tidying up, entertaining the kids or lending a hand wherever needed, they were always looking for ways to contribute. What we appreciated most was that they didn't just help with the physical work, they also reduced the mental load. Having people around who take initiative and genuinely want to help makes such a difference. They were genuinely interested in learning about our family, our lifestyle, permaculture, New Zealand, and the local culture. Conversations were always enjoyable and they brought a lovely energy to our home. Their son and our daughter got along beautifully from the very first day. They spent countless hours playing together, laughing, exploring, and creating memories. It was wonderful to watch their friendship grow, and remarkably they never had a single disagreement the entire time they were together. Hosting families is always special, and this family was no exception. They are warm, thoughtful, hardworking people who are a pleasure to have around. Anyone considering hosting them can do so with complete confidence. We wish Alex and Katharina all the very best for the rest of their travels and adventures. We hope our paths cross again, whether here in New Zealand or one day in Germany.
