Laissé par le workawayer (Xavier ) pour l'hôte pour (Help to restore a castle and ...)

It's no easy for me to write this comments. It's why, i took my times for wonder before to write. When you become one volunteer for workaway, you must to give your best for help your host, be enjoy by all these amazing moment of sharing and sometimes, you must to write something when the experience is not good.

After, five amazing experience… read more with workaway, five crazy experience with a lot of good moment, good time with my host, i lived a different experience this time. And, it wasn’t so good.

For begin, i important for me to say, everything wasn't to bad. Jaroslav is a nice guy. With a lot of interesting story about his life. And ask often if everything is well. There was also Andrej ! Andrej is a young student to Bratislava. He was just incredible. He is very young but his english is fluent and he knows a lot of things about history and he was always happy to share this passion with us. It was very interesting to spent times at the castle and in Bratislava with him. Thanks so much Andrej. You are welcome in France when you want ! The area was also nice. The surrounding are just remarkable and it's nice to spend time in this atmosphere. It's important for me to say all those good things.

Now, i must to say the bad things. It's not in my personal interest to write this but it's important for the other volunteers to know my experience in this place.
On workaway, you speak with Jaroslav, but Jaroslav is not the leader in the castle. And, you must to follow the "rules" imposed by Michael. Michael don't speak very well in English and don't try to speak with us except for explain the work. One example of that ! At the castle, during this week (due to lack of water independant of them), we could take only one shower wednesday and saturday. One wednesday, someone forgot to take her shower and asked if it was possible to take her shower thursday. Jaroslav asked to her to take her shower when Michael leave the house. When you are a volunteer here and you live this kind of things, you don't feel very well.

I would like to raise some important points :
- The goal to workaway is sharing our experience of life and learning a lot of things about the area where you go and learn a news skills.
During the first weekend, Andrej explain us some things about the history of the castle and Jaroslav sometimes few anedotes. But, it's all. Andrej wanted to visite the castle with us but Michael refused that. We don't now why. We always ate alone while our host ate elsewhere. We spent the evening alone in our room. Sometimes, Michael and his friends have made a wall. But, during this time, we just pick up the stone and carried their. It's pity. I thinks we could learn a lot of things in the castle ! But, unfortunatly, it wasn’t the case !

- One of the other goal to workaway is to discover the country where you are ! But, we could discover the surrounding. The sun was goes down at 4 P.M. And, we worked all the days between 9 and 3. 15 pm. One day, we asked to Jaroslav if you could finish at 2 pm for discover one small village close to the castle. But, Michael refused this application. And, during our stay, we had to work each day without day off. I stayed only 6 days there because i felt not very good at this place. But, my friends Gennarro that i met there, he stayed 10 days without any day off.

- You must to prepare a schedule for your host ! We don't work the whole day but we must to stay there all the time. We were ready for work between 9 and 3. 15 pm each day. But, sometimes, we did nothing. Just wait the next job. It's maybe important to talk about the tasks during the morning. Then, we could organize our day and after visiting the area.

- The tasks doesn't make any meaning sometimes. We didn't have a lot of explanations. Then, sometimes, we did one tasks without understand why ! One day for example, we moved many concrete sticks four times ! One stick alone weighted maybe 30 kilos. -text redacted-

To conclude, this place have a very good potential for host a lot of volunteers and some nice people are there. But, i thinks, the current conditions don't respect the rules and don't follow the spirit of workaway in this place.

Thanks anyway Jaroslav for your hospitality.

Dear Xavier, we so enjoyed having you here with us and all the evenings hitting it hard with Wizard and watching you and Hayden communicating and working really well as a team. You were a star in the garden, Monty just loved you (even if you thought he was a little too passive 😩), you cooked, cleaned, sorted and kept us all amused. You were on a… read more

Firstly, i would like to say that this family represent perfectly the spirit of workaway ! You are not there just for help the family. You are here for become a "member" of this big family !

For my first experience, i stayed three week with Anouk and Maarten. And, it was a great experience. They are nice, friendy, funny, interesting and open minded. Anouk speak a lot of language and it's easy to share with her. The work is varied and often interesting. Besides, you can work freely. The house and the surrounding environment was… read more

For the first time we had three different workaways around the same time and to host ‘a commune’ was so great. Xavier fit in really well and is such a hard worker. And he makes to most beautiful photo’s. He solved a problem with our neighbour who thinks that Xavier is a professional gardener :) Xavier is social, reliable, funny and a good driver!… read more
