Description

Hello

my name is Christian, I am 38 years old and from Germany.

I now have a 120h Tefl Certificate to teach English abroad.
I would like to teach English abroad in the future.

In 2021 I traveled through Italy to learn Italian. I stayed in Italia almost always with Workaway for one year.

Then I went to south/middle America and Spain to learn Spanish.
I am fluent in English and German.
My Italian is about A2 level
Spanish Beginner - A1

I am interested in gardening, working with animals and in the field.
I would also be interested in helping with languages.

I like to cook. I follow a vegetarian almost vegan diet and don`t drink alcohol.

My experiences with Workaway were mostly helping in the garden, gardening in general or helping in the fields.
I also taught languages - German and English.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Help us on our natural farm ...)

I stayed at the place in January/February.

My first encounter was in the car when I got picked up about my feedback that I am sometimes not happy at places.

I stayed at a place at the house that was build for volunteers. In the winter it can be cold there. There is a fire place in the bedroom.
I didnt use the fire place because there was a lot … read more

I stayed at the place in March for about one month, it was very interesting there. It is basically a big orange plantation with also lemon, clementines and mandarin trees.
We harvested Clementines for a couple days and after that we build during my stay new beds for the vegetables what meant to go through horse poop for probably 5 days at the end … read more

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Enjoy mountain sporting ...)

My experience at the hotel was not good. I was there in total for a little more than two month. I quit after 4 weeks and because of the contract I stayed there for like ten weeks. I was able to go 2 weeks earlier than the notice period said.
The hotel itself is not really organized. I worked at the reception and basically if there was a problem … read more somewhere everybody came to the reception. The most work during a normal workday was there with other employees. #redacted text# I write to work because this is a job. It is a paid job.
One time new people arrived, the idea was they would work in the restaurant. One person of the reservation office gave us a sheet to sign and the keys for the apartment. When the two women arrived they where from Slovakia, they couldnt speak German, but the sheet to sign was in German, so I tried to translate the sheet. They asked me if I would know what time they would start the next day. Nobody told us or them when they would start the next day. Then after eating they went with a driver from the hotel to their apartment. They couldnt open the main door because the keys were only for the room. When I called the person that gave us the key he said another person will be at the hotel in 30 minutes. We could call somebody that were inside the house so they could open the door.

When I arrived there, I slept the first night in the hotel and then got the key for my apartment. I went to the house and there was still stuff in there from the person before. When I said that to the owner she was like yes we will pick that stuff up and the we will also get new furniture soon and that they would also get a new kitchen.

After three weeks they asked me if I have the key to my apartment and if I had that key the whole time. After I answered Yes they told me the idea was that I would get a different apartment not this one.

This just really shows how that place operates. #redacted text# They printed the workdays the day before and I showed the sheet to my co worker that there was a holiday day used and I asked the HR Manager about the day and she answered no thats not true I said yes and my coworker saw it the day before.Then she went up and changed it.

Another time at the end of my time there I told the head of the Spa that a guest changed the appointments and that the guest said the head of the spa had put it in the system. I started to tell her the changes and she said I didnt do it. After a while she said I dont know what you want from me. At the end she said Oh yeah I booked them in. What is absolutely not relevant who booked them in, in the first place.

Those are just some examples how disorganized the place was and why it was so difficult to work there. #redacted text #

One evening I told the owner a lot of stuff that was going and we got into a discussion and she acknowledged almost everything I said but nothing changed.I do not recommend the place.
