I've been in Jurjen's house for two weeks. I enjoyed working with him and I learned a lot about manual works that i have not previous experience with. However I did not feel good staying with Jurjen. I don't think he has been a very hospitable and friendly person. In complex I didn't enjoy staying with him. I just would like to say that I tried to

I had a very nice time with David! He is open minded, honest, hard working and interested to learn. Apart from his hard work on my project he was a fun guy to hang out with. We had deep conversations of life, but also had fun with my friends and going out in Amsterdam. For David this period was a rollercoaster...due private circumstances he had to

David is the perfect workawayer, he blends in very well and works hard! He is always welcome to visit me and stay !

I was with Jurjen for 17 days in his beautiful centric house in Leiden. I helped him with her sustainable house and learnt a lot of interesting things about to build. I have to say Jurjen was very patience with me and taught me to tile despite of my low knowledge im the matter. I'm very happy with my experience and I feel in love with this

I stayed with Jurjen for 3 weeks, worked on two projects; demolishing a garden shed and laying a stone path. He gave me full responsibility on the projects but was there to help when needed and happy for me to ask questions. Jurjen taught me some valuable life lessons that really influenced me in a positive way. I found his little garden project

He also knows how to have a good time! ;).
I will definitely be visiting Jurjen for a beer and some good company when I am in the Netherlands again.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Mika stayed and worked at my place for 3 weeks. His warm personality and openness is one of his many plus points.

Jarryd stayed at my place and worked on my project for 12 days, but in these 12 days he proved to be a hard worker, sociable, open and willing to adopt in new situations and culture.

I hope Jarryd will have the time and money to travel for a long time in Europe, because it will give him the possibilities to explore what he wants to do in the future and expands his open mindedness even further.

Danny is a friendly and hard working guy, which picks up any project and task he is asked. In the first week he was focused on sanding and painting the walls, windows, window frames and interior wood, after that he picked up the project to install and finish the ´deck´ of my veranda, a responsibility he picked up with much dedication and

It was a pleasure to be involved in jurjen's fantastic garden house project and thanks to his knowledge and patience I've learnt a great deal in the two weeks I spent there! Jurjen is a great host, friendly and hospitable (and an excellent cook!!), I wish him all the best with the completion of the project!!

Kate is a very warm and open and curious person. I only had the pleasure of hosting her for a long weekend, but in these 4 days we had a great time together. She worked hard in the garden and was not afraid to get her hands dirty (although she didn´t really liked the rain). It was a pleasure to have me at my place and she is always welcome to

It was a wonderful weekend working with Jurjen. He is always willing to teach me, help me and share his life, even though I know nothing and always ask so many questions. It was great that he brought me to the market, afternoon tea, gym and meet his neighbor. I could really feel the Dutch lifestyle. He is also very considerate, very friendly,

It was like a 5-star home for me and he is a perfect host so I honestly don't want to leave. I am impressed that he has an idea to build his garden house on his own. There are more inspiring things that I learnt from him. I could't imagine that I gained more idea about my future career and happy life in those few days. I am really grateful that Jurjen made my first workaway experience so fruitful and unforgettable. Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Gar) para o anfitrião
I had a really good month helping Jurjen with his garden house. I learnt a lot of new DIY skills, and the work is very satisfying as you can see the results of a day’s work. Jurjen gave me the confidence to “lead” the project of completing the kitchen. He was incredibly patient and forgiving as I had no experience of doing this kind of work
… read more before, and very willing to show and teach me things. During the work we would often encounter problems or things we hadn’t thought about, but we always worked through them.
Jurjen is a really good guy, easygoing and funny. He sees Workaway as much more than just the work. He opened up his life to me, introducing me to his friends and neighbours, and we would have lovely games nights and dinners. He showed me around Amsterdam (which he knows well) and on my last day had a boat trip around the canals of Leiden.
I will miss working at the garden house, as well as living in Leiden, the cat Bohr, sharing food (picking up new recipes) and conversation. Thanks for all the life advice and for being a great host. Good luck with finishing the rest of the garden house and see you again soon, Jurjen!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Gary helped me on my project for a period of 3,5 weeks. He was a great helper, accurate, thinking about the best solutions and alert of the things to be done. He was eager to learn new skills and picking it up fast. We primarily worked on fitting a second hand kitchen, that had to be customized to make it fit. In this work Gary helped with

After work Gary is a very social person, he loves to meet new people and is very helpful with cooking, cleaning and helping out where necessary. He likes to experience new things, so always eager to go for a nice adventure. Only in the last week I discovered his piano skills, so don¨t hesitate to ask him to play some nice piano music...especially because he has now his own roll-up piano.
Gary, thank you for your help and the nice time we had...and when you settle permanent in the Netherlands, feel free to visit me any time.

I never thought that the 2 weeks would run so fast.

Jerome is a very nice and open person that is highly motivated and willing to pick up any job he can help with. He is a fast learner and does his work as accurate as possible. In the 2 weeks he was my guest he helped me with installing the drywall on the walls and ceilings of my newly build house. He never worked with drywall´s, but within a

Apart of his work, he is also a very nice guest who helps in the house by cooking, cleaning and the groceries. He is a good companion that likes to meet new people, is outgoing and open for new experiences. Jerome can always come back to help me with any work or project I have on hand.
