Commentaires, feedbacks et évaluations Workaway - page 10

🌿Chiara & Paula Thanks for coming us We feel truly grateful to have had Chiara and Paula with us – two bright souls from Germany who brought warmth, kindness, and energy to our small farmer family, even during a time of crisis. From the very moment they arrived (in heavy rain!), they were kind, flexible, and full of positive spirit. Thanks to our friend Ar for picking them up during the storm. On their first day, we were lucky to share a meaningful lunch together – our only meal before we had to unexpectedly leave due to a health emergency. Even with just a short time together, they left a real mark: a beautiful garden bed they built with their own hands and hearts, which still grows strong today. We treasure that little piece of them in our farm. What touched us deeply was their heartfelt offer to donate blood for Kik when we were in the hospital. Their compassion and selflessness meant the world to us during one of our most difficult moments. Not only that – we are also sincerely thankful for how they took care of themselves with joy and independence, even in our absence. They cooked meals, helped each other, and adapted with such a warm and positive attitude. It really touched our hearts to know they made the best of their time here and contributed with such love. We’re also incredibly thankful to our extended support: Ar, the Cheyen family, and everyone who helped welcome and care for Chiara and Paula while we were away. It reminded us how powerful community can be. Chiara and Paula are not only great volunteers – they are thoughtful, trustworthy, kind-hearted, and full of empathy. We are so lucky to have crossed paths, and we truly hope to meet again, not as hosts and volunteers, but as lifelong friends. 💚 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Chiara & Paula. You will always have a home with us. With love, Farmerfamily – Kik & Tan

Working with the academy was an incredible experience. I was only supposed to stay for 1 month but it quickly turned into 3 months. The students and staff are wonderful and make the classes so much fun. They provided me with so many opportunities to experience Vietnamese culture and welcomed me with open arms. Not only has the center been a great opportunity to build connections and experience a new culture but so has Hai Phong city. It is a beautiful city with kind people. 10/10 experience, would definitely do it again!

Mylène et Jean Paul sont des gens formidables. Ce sont de vrais agriculteurs vivants dans les Pyrénées. Avec Mylène, j'ai appris à planter, à m'occuper des poules, à tondre la pelouse avec rotofil et bien sûr, j'ai pu travailler dans leur vigne. Elle me laissait faire de la confiture avec les citrons qu'elle cueillait dans ses arbres. J'ai pu faire de longues promenades dans la nature avec Patou, le chien qui garde la maison. J'ai pu admirer les chants traditionnels de la chorale béarnaise, où ils fesaient membre, et j'ai pu participer aux danses folkloriques béarnaises. J'ai pu jouer avec Julèn et Luna, leurs petits-enfants. et lire des contes á eux. Il est impossible de décrire tout le temp miraculeux que j'ai passé avec cette merveilleuse famille béarnaise. Merci.

The time I spent with Jane in her magnificent rain forest home was super heartwarming. I enjoyed every day working and living the Queenslander lifestyle. The work included renovated a gazebo, refinishing wooden furniture, cleaning and organizing the garage and workshop and performed general maintenance and cleaning all around this beautiful property. However, the BEST part of this Workaway experience was dog sitting! NO DOUBT YOUR GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH TIKANI. He is the sweetest and most lovable dog yet. He never left my side.... he followed me around all day as I completed project after project... you will love him as much as I. Jane's home is completely comfortable and Jane was such a welcoming and gracious host. I highly recommend you spend some quality time at this most endearing Workaway.

Nicole es una excelente chica su ayuda en nuestro lugar fue muy gratificante , tarea que requería de su ayuda lo hacía sin problemas ella me ayudó muchísimo con el sargazo es una tarea muy difícil en estás temporadas por el exceso de alga y ella todos los días que permaneció aquí lo realizó excelente . Cocina muy rico y deja todo limpio y en orden , le dió mucho cariño a nuestros tres perritos ,limpio nuestro lugar de hojas secas y de brotes ,sin duda recomiendo la ayuda de Nicole no se arrepentirán de tenerla como workawayer. Nicole is an excellent girl, her help at our place was very gratifying, a task that required her help she did it without problems, she helped me a lot with the sargassum, it is a very difficult task in these seasons due to the excess of algae and she did it excellently every day that she stayed here. She cooks very well and leaves everything clean and in order, she gave a lot of love to our three dogs, she cleaned our place of dry leaves and shoots, I definitely recommend Nicole's help, you will not regret having her as a workawayer.

I stayed with Nick for two weeks and it was amazing! Nick is an amazing person, very attentive to you and always does the best he can for your comfort. He cooks very well and is always willing to play some games or have a nice chat with everyone. The hostel is amazing, it is one of the few hostels that I have been to where you feel like home, the atmosphere is incredible. The work is really relaxing all the time, just helping in some stuffs. I had plenty of time to walk around the city and see the main tourist attractions. It was a very good experience. I wish the best for you and your family. Be happy!

I stayed one month at this place and absolutely loved my time volunteering here. From the moment I entered the hostel, I felt welcomed and began meeting amazing people. Rajiv is amazing - very responsive and helpful on all fronts! The work is easy, enjoyable, and clear. You can rent bikes nearby and transportation to the beach is quick and easy (or local bus). I also loved the dinners and community events every night. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or recommend this volunteer opportunity more!!

My friend Karo and I loved our time staying with Martin and Andrea, and of course their two cats Max and Rosie :) They really made us feel at home, and we were spoilt with yummy food and desserts all three weeks. We mainly did gardening work, and some household work. It was always made sure that the work wasn't to much and we were comfortable with everything. There is a seminar room as you can see in the pictures that we used to do yoga and stretches, so if you enjoy something like that you will have a lovely room to do it here. The area is pretty for walks and bike rides, and we took a day trip to Graz which was fun :) Thank you Martin and Andrea for having us, we had a great time!

I had a great experience at the sailing school in Palau, working as the galley coordinator. I helped manage meals—organizing breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the students, and taking care of shopping lists with the chef. The beach was just 20 meters away, and I had plenty of free time to enjoy it. I was also invited to join sailing trips, which was a fantastic opportunity to learn something new. The best part was the people: the instructors were friendly, fun, and super welcoming. I truly enjoyed my time there and would recommend this Workaway to anyone looking for a beautiful and dynamic place to volunteer.

I spent six weeks on the island of San Pietro during the pre-opening of the hotel, helping with cleaning and gardening. It was a great experience! Antonio is a kind and thoughtful host, and an amazing cook—every lunch was fresh, tasty, and full of local flavors. There was a great group atmosphere with other Workawayers, and we had plenty of free time to explore the island. Antonio also let us use bikes and the car on weekends, which made discovering the area even more fun. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and relaxed experience in a beautiful place. Thank you, Antonio!

Henrik was a pleasure to host! Cheerful, willing to help and with a pleasant calm demeanor. He helped to build a fence and has some good skills he put to use. He was very kind with our dogs and all the animals liked him. He is welcome back any time :)

Petra is very friendly with an open personality and great sense of humor. Was open to all work and curious to learn about new cultures. Very presice in her work, the mirrors have never been so clean! Unfortunately she coudn't stay longer because we would have loved to have her!

I had a really wonderful time with Flore and Bram, an experience I won’t forget. They always made sure I felt comfortable and are both very warm-hearted people. Whenever I asked if they could drive me to a specific hiking trail, if I could borrow the bike, or anything else, my wishes were always fulfilled. There was always enough food, and often delicious muffins from Flore, who would sometimes prepare a Swedish Fika for us after work. Their dog Suki is super sweet, playful, and loves to cuddle. If you’re an animal lover, that’s definitely a big plus. I could also use the sauna whenever I wanted. We also celebrated midsummer together and had barbecue two times during my stay. The time flew by, and I’m truly grateful for everything. I wish both of you all the best for the future! Yours Verena

David`s boat project is a special place full of friendly people. It was a great experience living the pirate life on board. There was always something exiting going on. We improved the deck, the new mast was in construction and I was taking care of boat Gudrun´s garden. The help did not really feel like work though which was very nice. Also there was time to go for a walk in the forest or in town. In the evenings cardgames were played, we danced or enjoyed the silence of the fjord. Thanks for all these wonderful memories :)

Josha is a gem, always cheerful and does work hard. he loves the machines, streamers or chainsaw, very capable. Detailed preparation work on our wooden boat like sanding and paint stripping. Joins in social activities well and can be left to his own devices. If you can :grab him otherwise we will have him back. All the best Josha !

I can't even express how special this place is, and how amazing the hosts are. We had only started our backpacking journey a week before coming to volunteer here for 2 weeks, and it was the most incredible/heartbreaking way to start our journey. We made friends for life and at the end of our 2 weeks it felt like leaving our home and family behind. If it hadn't been for the fact we still had so much travelling ahead of us, we 1000% would have extended. I can't imagine Chiang Rai without this hostel, and I already know I'll be back again in future. For other workawayers, seriously, don't pass on this place! We had so much free time to socialize with the guests/volunteers and explore, and even when you're on shift you're having a great time with the people who you see around the hostel. Until next time guys. ❤️

Gerald ist ein supernetter Typ, sehr vertrauens bewusst , hilfsbereit, freundlich und easy going - also locker . Obwohl ich für einige Zeit nicht hier war, dafür aber eine Freundin- lief alles ganz nach Plan . Die Esel wurden gut versorgt , die Pflanzen gegossen, Gerald hat auch arbeitsmäßig eigene Ideen mit eingebracht . Du kannst gern mal wieder vorbei schauen !😄 Ich wünsche Dir viele schöne neue Erfahrungen .

Ecsia is such a special girl! We had a lot of fun during the weeks she spent with us. She is very open minded, eager to learn and discover the world. Always singing and playin the ukelele and having fun with everybody, She is a sweet person and it was very nice to have her company and help.

We have had great time with Lola and Zsofi while they were here. They are young, smart, great energy, and always open to help. They are a good asset for your team. They work hard and with a smile at every time. We strongly recommend both of them!

Nico and Mel are great, funny and open minded people, with a lot of experience behind them and open to sharing their knowledge. We had a really good time in their place, the food was very nice and abundant. The amount of work is fair, we helped with insulation and some gardening. In the afternoon you will have plenty of time to discover the surrounding areas. Moving around without a car is not so easy but hitchhiking is common in the area so you can still reach different places without a vehicle. In their house you feel welcomed. Thanks for hosting us : )
