Laissé par le workawayer (Solene) pour l'hôte (We welcome volunteers who ...)

Being at Minjee's was an incredible experience. For sure, you will be out of your comfort zone, read the other reviews and you will get why. This was not an issue at all personally. Still manage to get a bucket shower everyday, even if the smell probably last for days after leaving haha. The job was hard as expected in a farm, but I would still… read more highlight a few things here that have not been mentionned before, please be aware :

* If you are a lot of people staying, you probably will not eat a lot/enough : food was not coming to us in abundance, for the least to say..., and we (too)often had to ask for stuff, and meat and eggs ...no fruits, no sweets. Those you will have to buy yourself... (village is an hour walking from home). Trust me, working from 5am to 10pm, you will need more than onions and carrots to get your energy. Also, it is supposed to be part of the exchange. Deal right ? Maybe not ...

* You will sleep on palet wood with thin blankets. Local people DO have mattress. Does not seem really fair here...for your own good, get a camping one.

* Hours : The more people you will be there, the more you can split the work. Still, you will have to chase + milk twice a day + chase in the evening. All together, the three shifts are much more than 4/5 hours per day. NO DAYS OFF if you do not...ask for it.

We worked a lot on different projects on the volunteer house to make life cosier for the next ones. We took care of the animals with love.
None of this seem to brighten Minjee' s mood. While I was not expecting to get a warm thank you everyday, I would still hope for a little smile, or kindness in the way to ask things maybe. When people are working hard for you, you can say please, thank you for your help, be gentle. No need to boss around as people are actually paying to come and work for you. Probably a reason why some people left earlier than expected.

I stayed a month, because I met incredible people, and the team was so great, laughing everyday, being crazy all together. Still, some of us paid a plane ticket from Europe to go and work for Minjee, and we did not feel treated good, in the many ways I described.

The landscape, the life, the nature, the animals, the other volunteers, Minjees's daughter made all this experience worthy. Unfortunately (maybe it was a hard time for Minjee, but not an excuse enough if you chose to let people come) but I do not feel like workawayers should be treated this way, and the exchange part was definitely not enough for me.

When I go back to Mongolia, this will not be to this place, and I feel sad about it. Many other places in Mongolia to see, lot of people who are willing to share.

(Très bien )
