Descrição
Hello!

I am Beatrice, Swiss, 68 years old and living with my partner and our dog Zoe (6 years old) in the Italian speaking part, called Ticino.
I am a German teacher. We own a big house and a big garden and we manage the maintenance with workawayers from all over the world (see host list) "Help out in our garden with beautiful view on mountains and lakes in Ticino, Switzerland.

Now I would love to make some experiences as a workawayer.
My partner Carlos and I like to meet people, share experiences, get to know different cultures on a daily-life base and I am very interested in practising foreign languages.

In January 2020 we were in Marocco for our first workaway experience, helping in the desert: bringing the sand to the court for making mad to put on the walls in the new rooms. Nice teamwork!
We are still hosts - we had 33 workawayers from all over the world - and we love the spirit of WORKAWAY and learning by doing!

Thank you for taking your time to read it!

I lived for one week with Nihal, Kusum and their lovely daughter Sithara and I just enjoyed to be surrounded by these caring persons which have so much compassion for their lifestyle and for each other. I am very grateful that I got the opportunity to be a part of this family.
The love and care I witnessed is something I will treasure as a sweet… read more

I had a wonderful week at Gunarathna and Damayanthi’s place!
With their two well educated sons, who have charming personalities, they are the most welcoming people ever and they made me feel incredibly comfortable from the moment I got there. They are very kind to nature, animals, persons and anything.
My voluntary work consisted of joining… read more Gunarathna every day during his English lessons at the homes of the students. We reached the students by motorbike and I must say that he is a really good driver. I was involved in the conversations with the students and we could feel free to talk about anything we liked. The students showed their interest and asked many questions about my life and my country. We reached the students by motorbike and I must say that Gunarathna is a really good driver. The rides were fun and I saw so the different surroundings.
After the lessons I could learn a lot about the Sri Lankan way if cooking: Damayanthi, his wife, spent a lot of her time in the kitchen preparing every day - with a big smile - nice dishes with fresh ingredients and I shared the delicious meals with the family. Compliments to the outstanding cook!
For my Swiss meal “Crispy Chicken Thighs …” I went by bike with Kaveesha and Shavendra to buy all ingredients! The close market at the street offert a nice variety of fresh vegetables - in the small shop there we could hardly find breadcrumbs, they call it biscuit powder! With the ice-cream and some sweet drinks the boys were very happy! When we prepared the potatoes, carrots, green beans and cucumber salad the boys helped me in the kitchen like professionals :=) and we had so much fun together.
We had also fun playing together with the neighbor’s children: hide and seek and catch me! Playing ECKOLO and cards like UNO:=)
On Shavendra’s birthday, he turned 8, the parents started to cook at 5 o’clock in the morning to prepare food for the orphans at Anuradhapura. I liked to help with the cooking and we brought the food to the children. It’s a tradition in this family to celebrate the birthdays of their sons bringing food to the orphans and sharing lunch there with them. I admire this idea!!
After lunch we could watch special dances for us celebrated by the children. I think this is a nice way to thank and I enjoyed the dances a lot. At the end the children bowed in front of us to show their gratitude.
As we were at Anuradhapura we visited together the tempel and honored Sir Buddha. Gunarathna is also a pundit tour guide !
I learned many things, not only about their culture and religion but also about their way of living and working. This was such a unique experience that I can recommend to anyone.

I am so happy I had the chance to live with this lovely family!
I wish I could go again!
Gunarathna, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I wish you and your family only the best!
You are always welcome at my home in Switzerland!

I am grateful to this loving Italian family who opened the doors of their home to me in such difficult times and placed their trust in me from the beginning. They are parents with clear ideas for educating in German language and always focused on making you feel part of their beautiful family. I spent three excellent weeks with them and their… read more

Gianmarco i an openminded person and he made us feel comfortable in his ancient (from 1700) rural farmstay.
We loved this place in the nature and we liked to be free to decide what kind of work to do: general maintenance, separate waste (plastic, glass, paper …) feeding the three dogs and the cats, cooking.
We loved the “spaghetti alla carbonara”… read more
