We had a wonderful experience with Maren! She is incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about both horticulture and German culture. Maren is also very communicative and hospitable.

Thank you, Maren!

A sixth star is needed for the fedback! Paige was here for only two weeks but she rocked the place. Although it was her first workaway experience, she seemed to be "an old hand".

It was a lovely two weeks with Valentine, who was a very pleasant guest.

Maren was a wonderful host and entrusted me with gardening on her beautiful land. I learned so much! There was plenty to do and I was never bored. I never felt any pressure and she gently guided me as I undertook tasks that were new to me.

I went to Germany in an attempt to improve my language and bless her, Maren was so patient with my garbled attempts! I appreciate all the encouragement.
Maren was so generous and made many suggestions of things I could do; she knew it was my first workaway experience and I didn’t really know what to expect.
We spoke about many things and I am in awe of such a Maverick of a person who lives in their own terms. Thank you so much for your time and wonderful ‘Rockstar Aunty’ energySó é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

It was a great time with Natalie, who settled in well and enjoyed doing the gardening on her own.

Es war eine schöne Zeit mit Natalie, die sich hier gut eingefunden und die anfallenden Arbeiten im Garten selbständig und mit Freude erledigt hat. Die Kommunikation war gut, die komplexeren Dinge und philosophischeren Aspekte des Lebens haben wir auf englisch besprochen, die einfacheren Alltagsdinge auf deutsch. Bei Unklarheiten hat sie immer rechtzeitig nachgefragt, bevor Unstimmigkeiten entstehen konnten. So konnte sie ihr Deutsch verbessern und ich mein Englisch.
Natalie hat sehr lecker gekocht, und kam auch prima mit den Hunden klar.
Jederzeit gerne wieder!

Thanks, Javi, for being here and digging out so much of the bamboo roots during this week. Hopefully our german lessons were helpful to you - I learned a lot about the traps in the German language myself.

My experience staying with Maren and her two very disciplined dogs was great.

Such a happy week to start getting to know Germany !

I've been 2 whole weeks with Maren and her two energetic wonderful dogs: Enno and Sammy.

The house is in a tiny charming town in the "Felsenland" region, called Erfweiler. You'll find hundred of hiking paths to explore (there's just one starting from the house!). Maren lent me a bike and make the most of my excursions with it. My favorite is the one that leads to the "Planetenweg" next to Hinterwidenthal, and from there starts a bike adapted path until Dahn, offering breathtaking views of the mountains.
In the night if it is not cloudy you see a lot of stars and the place is so quiet, just nature. Maren advice you and take care of you, the food excellent and I really felt myself at home. I highly highly recommend this Workaway experience, thank you very much for this time Maren, and auf jeden Fall, until next time☺️Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.
