Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Family farm with horses ...)

Our experience with Piret and Tenno's family was wonderful! They had a lovely property with three horses and a big yard. The way the house was renovated was very inspiring and we had our own space upstairs where we could rest after the day of help. Workwise we mostly focused on fixing the fences, painting them and the arena and building new gates.… read more

I am very late in leaving my feedback as the year has been a crazy one. Georg and his partner Annie came to stay with us over Christmas 2019 and they were a delight to have. They got straight in without hesitation, helping with anything that was needed. I have a busy household and sometimes it can be tough (power outages, no hot water) but they… read more

Claire hosted me and Anni for three weeks during Christmas in her home in the suburbs of Arusha.

We assisted her with daily tasks and spent a lot of time with her 6 lively children.
For example we took turns in cooking, were washing dishes, and watched over the children if Clair had to go to town or simply played with them.

In March 2020 I stayed together with Anni for 3 weeks at Taisia’s and Chain’s place on Ko Phayam Island.

The island is a place worth to visit, very different from the other islands we saw in Thailand, it’s a village like atmosphere, soon you get an idea where the good spots are, but still plenty affordable unique bars and restaurants.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Au pair help for a sailing ...)

I stayed with Alistair for 3 weeks on his boat, a 10.5m long sailing yacht.

The task was to get the boat ready for sailing and then sail it up north, to Southampton, England.
It was planned to take about the whole August, and we were a group of five: Alistair and four workawayers… Dan, Martin and my girlfriend Anni and me.

The difficulty was… read more that the current and the wind would be against us and to be able to sail, we would have to head off quite far offshore, maybe spending over a week in the Atlantic.

We stayed on the boatyard in Faro (Portugal) for about 1.5 weeks until we were able for departure and spent most of those hot days working and hanging around on the boat and slept/cooked also on its limited space. We met some really nice elderly residents on the boatyard, and we had a lovely barbecue there with them.

The trip didn’t work out as planned. Once our offshore sailing was stopped through an engine causing problems (dirty fuel tank) and additionally one crew member couldn’t get rid of his seasickness (I was also seasick for a whole day). I think none of the crew, apart from Alistair, looked really forward anymore to spend a big amount of days offshore, after the unpleasant events on the first days, but it was necessary for the sailing.

We carried on to Lisbon from where we plant to start a longer offshore trip to the north. But on the way to Lisbon, we suddenly realized that water was coming through the floor from the bow. During the rest of the cruise we had to get rid of the water, to the abundance it mixed also with some diesel from the engine room. It turned out, that water got into a chamber which was not closed properly. After we arrived in Lisbon, all crew members decided not to continue any longer. For me it was the previous events (e.g. Problems with the signal lights, leaking fresh water tank) combined with Alistair’s way of managing the appearing problems/stressful situations and the fact, that much more days offshore were about to come, which made me not feel comfortable enough to continue. I was sorry for this disappointing decision considering our trip, but I hope it’s understandable, it was too much for us “first timers”.

Nevertheless, I experienced Alistair as a generous guy, very passionate about sailing and he invited all of us for a big dinner once and he covered the food during the time we prepared the boat on the yard and I really enjoyed the magical moments we had, e.g. the dolphins playing with the boat and the sunsets/sunrises on the beautiful empty blue ocean and to get to know a complete new world for me, the world of sailing.

In total we sailed/motored 4 days and spent the rest in harbors or on the yard, I am very grateful that I was able to experience sailing/living on a yacht for the very first time.

Thank you Alistair
