Commentaires, feedbacks et évaluations Workaway

I spent a couple of weeks with Hilde and Micha on their beautiful boat and I felt right at home.They are a set of kind and good hearted people, it's been a pleasure being in their company. Besides working on my paint job and some gardening I also got the chance to visit Berlin and relax on the boat, which is hands down the coziest boat I've ever been on! It's been such a great experience and I'm definitely going to miss everything about it.

Yves is truly an incredible person! He welcomed me into his home with open arms and took me on a journey of discovery in and around Nantes. He truly loves the Italian language and culture—he speaks almost perfect Italian. He also has tons of wonderful stories to tell and lives in a beautiful house near paths straight out of a fantasy novel. Highly recommended.

Great host, we had a chance to meet the family and it was very pleasant. The conditions were good, we had a whole house to ourselves, felt very safe and comfortable.

We had an amazing week staying with Thomas and Jasmin! They are really kind and helpful. They gave us lots of tips on exploring the area (lovely in winter). We shared our dinners and had lots of interesting discussions about life, travels, personal thoughts. It was very interesting to share our cultures. They both are hardworkers but always smiling and take time for workawayers ! We helped them to renovate, and prepare the garden for spring. Thank you so much for this stay !

Martino is an excellent boy, very polite, easy to live. He coped with the rules of the house immediately and we had a very good time together. He is Smart and funny too! You will be pleased to host him, no hesitation. Yves

Un accueil authentique au cœur du Gers Recommandation : Hautement recommandée ! Séjourner chez Françoise à Saint-Orens-Pouy-Petit est une expérience que je conseille à tout Workawayer en quête d'authenticité et de sérénité. Voici pourquoi vous devriez la solliciter : Le cadre de vie : Le Gers est une région sublime, et la maison de Françoise est un véritable havre de paix. C’est l’endroit idéal pour se ressourcer, loin du tumulte des grandes villes, tout en profitant d'un grand jardin magnifique. La diversité des missions : On ne s'ennuie jamais ! Entre les petits projets de bricolage et la compagnie des poules et du chien, les tâches sont variées et très gratifiantes. C’est parfait pour ceux qui aiment voir le résultat concret de leur aide. L'échange humain : Françoise n'ouvre pas seulement sa porte, elle ouvre son cœur. Ayant elle-même des enfants qui ont "quitté le nid", elle a un sens de l'accueil maternel et bienveillant. Elle a une réelle envie de partager sa culture et de pratiquer les langues (avis aux anglophones !). La convivialité : Vivre avec Françoise, c'est l'assurance de moments d'échanges riches autour d'une table, dans une ambiance paisible et respectueuse. En résumé : Si vous cherchez un échange culturel véritable, que vous aimez la nature et les animaux, et que vous souhaitez aider une personne profondément gentille, foncez chez Françoise !

Very kind workawayers and great cultural exchange. They were with us for two weeks and helped us with the garden and cooked a delicious typical Iranian dish twice. Both were very helpful and independent. Sometimes we had to get used to each other's pace of work. We had a great time together and I recommend these Workawayers to everyone.

Talissa was only supposed to stay for a week or so, but I asked her to extend her stay, and she ended up staying for about a month. Not only that - afterwards, I invited her back to do house-sitting while I was away. That alone shows how much I trust her: I left her my house, car, and cat for a month and a half. She took perfect care of everything, and when I returned, everything was spotless. She also drove me to and from the airport, which was a great help. On top of that, Talissa is great company, exceptionally well organized, and an excellent cook. I wouldn’t hesitate to host her again anytime, or to leave her the keys knowing everything would be in good hands.

I had a wonderful time during my stay with the family! From the moment I arrived, I was met with warm hospitality from the whole family and fellow volunteers, and I immediately felt right at home. I’ll never forget my first conversations with the little girls—I asked them a few questions in English, not really expecting an answer since I was both a stranger and speaking their second language, but they responded without hesitation in the most adorable voices! Most of my shifts were spent with Miku, the eldest daughter, whom I was tasked to pick up from the bus stop after daycare. While she was understandably a little shy at first, she quickly warmed up to me, and we had lots of fun laughing and playing games during our walks home. We often played make-believe or drew together while waiting for the rest of the family to arrive, during which she was always well-behaved and easy to care for. Finally, I need to give a huge thank you to Megumi-San and her husband, who made my time in Sapporo truly unforgettable. Megumi is the sweetest host, who asked me many questions about my life and taught me a lot about Japanese culture! She is a generous and funny person, and it is inspiring to see her tackle the daily challenges of raising three young children (while working!) with such grace and empathy. Additionally, while I could not speak with her husband due to the language barrier, he was kind enough to take me and a fellow volunteer skiing one day (a bucket list item for me!) and I enjoyed watching his loving dynamic with the children. Thank you! 151A :)

Maria stayed with our family for a few weeks and we grew fond of her in a short time. She has such a positive outlook on life, enjoys a good laugh, is very easy to get along with and is a keen and competent worker regardless of the task. We wish her many happy WorkAway experiences.

Anaïs et son copain ont gardé notre maison et notre chat pendant 15 jours. Ils se sont aussi occupés du jardin pour le préparer pour les plantations. Ils nous ont aidés à faire un vide grenier et ont été très efficaces. Ils sont très sympathiques, toujours joyeux et facile à vivre. Bref nous les recommandons !

Marcel could stay by us only for 2 weeks, but he showed himself to be a wonderful person and an amazing workawayer. He is quiet, responsible, respectful and hardworking. He has torn down the old goose house, helped with chopping wood and taking care of animals/pets and cleaning, he also removed molehills in the garden and removed withered branches. We became really good friends and continue to stay in touch and hope he will come again as he promised.

Nico & Juliette stay at our campsite for almost 3 weeks. They are independant and can mingle well with the other 3 volunteers from Saudi Arabia, Italy & Albania. They help me maintain the campsite, raking the leaves (a lot of leaves during dry season) and also tidy up the woods from tree just we just chop down before they came. They also made some projects with bamboo where they made a shelves to put a flowers for decoration (actually they plan to make the bench but it turn out to be another thing 😁) and their second try, they make a nice japanese table from bamboo which is a nice addition to our treehouse platform lower ground. Really appreciate ehat they have done at the campsite and their help.

Samuel is a lovely, kind, respectful and responsible person always willing to help. We had great experience hosting him and he's always welcome back. ☀️😊

Pia stayed with us for two weeks and helped animal care, horses,goats, chickens. Making a new fence for the goats, preparing the hugels for planting and other odd jobs on the finca. Together with another workawayer she enjoyed the activities around the village, climbed Santa Barbara, yoga, hiking and playing cardgames. They also cooked some meals. Pia is a quiet and friendly person who loves nature. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors

We were so fortunate to have Julia and Kacper stay with us for a few weeks. They were warm and welcomed into our family right away (helping to calm a crying baby in the car ride home from the ferry!). They were a joy to be around, friendly, and genuinely interested in the work, our family, and the area. Despite the cold, rainy weather, they were outside every day with a smile on their faces. They helped with gardening and landscaping projects we had - working with various tools, climbing into the middle of hedges, up ladders, chopping down bushes, trees, ivy, and helping dig out the veggie garden - they accomplished more than we could have possibly imagined they were going to get done!! My only regret is that we didn't get to spend more time with them! With their diverse skills, kind personalities, eager and keen energy, they will be a big help with whatever project you have for them!

Es dificil describir la experiencia que tuvimos porque fue mas que excelente, con caro y julio vivimos un experiencia diferente a la de otros voluntarios ya que ahora no solo era la familia de Omero o sea la familia Guillen Solis, ahora ya somos 2 familias la nuestra y la de valeriana y arvey que tambien conviven con los voluntarios y en especial caro y julio les toco convivir mucho con ellos vale y arvey y sus dos hijos, ademas su estancia fue amplia por lo que no solo convivieron con las dos familias si no con nuestros parientes y con nuestros amigos, caro y julio desde su llegada fueron los dueños de esta casa, fueron y seran mas que voluntarios son nuestra familia. la madre caro quiza el padre no fue julio pero si el tio tal vez, nuestras vivencias no tienen forma de describir fueron muchas desmasiadas y muy bonitas, algo que quedara presente es que ellos aman y amaran por siempre la florida tanto como su servidor ama este lugar, en este voluntariado quedo presente que lo mas importante es la amistad y que no hay fronteras para tener una bonita amistad, aprendimos mucho de ellos nos queda en nuestro corazon esta bonita amistad yo puedo decir que son mis hijos no franceses sino casi africanos por la cercania de la Reunion con madagascar SIEMPRE EN NUESTROS CORAZONES y seguramente nos volveremos a ver

I loved my stay at this place! Ceci and Sabrina were so nice and welcoming from the start. The shelter is very well organized, the volunteer apartment is big and clean. I had a video meeting with Sabrina before arriving and that was very helpful, I knew what to expect before even getting there. The tasks are mainly cleaning and feeding and bathing the dogs. There is also always time to play and cuddle with the dogs. And there is a possibility to do and learn more (i.e. assisting in anestheasia and minor operations). I really had the feeling I was there for the dogs. And the environment was always very pleasant and positive. The shelter is far from the city (which I liked) but on our days off we got to visit a cenote and a beach. If you are dog lovers, you will love this place :)

Lina es una muy buena persona. Siempre dispuesta a aprender y hacer un buen trabajo. Se acopló súper rápido a la vida de la granja y le fue muy bien con los caballos. Bienvenida cuando quieras.
