Description
WE ARE BOTH VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19 (3 doses)

Hi, I'm Max from Berlin.
Im currently 26 Years old and I'm a Communications-Designer.
I'm a very open minded person, always ready for new challenges. I love other cultures and I'm eager to meet new people. I'm very social, always smiling, making jokes, trying to put a smile on other peoples faces.
My passion is eating and cooking good foods, trying out new things, design and photography. Currently I speak, german, hungarian and english fluently, but i would love to learn spanish and japanese!

Hi, I'm Diane from Marseille !
I met Max while doing workaway in Japan three years ago and we have been living and traveling together since. I speak French, English, German.
I am a passionate traveler and there is almost no country I am not curious about.
Additionally, I love to move, so I welcome any chance to teach, learn or practice sports together (yoga, running, hiking, stretching, you name it).
I care deeply about the protection of the environment and all animals.

I have experience teaching English in Vietnam, caring for sick cats and dogs in a shelter in Thailand, taking care of children age 2 to 14, teaching a fitness class, waitressing in bars/restaurants and general work in different hostels (cleaning, front desk, taking reservations, etc).

I am not good at writing, so whenever I leave feedback, I wonder how to express my feelings...
Max & Diane were a lovely couple.
And it was a great help because they helped me with everything.
They stayed for about 10 days, and the time we stayed together went by really quickly.
I recommend Max & Diane!

We had such an amazing time staying with Hyoung-Chan! The area is beautiful and quiet. The Tiny house we lived in is very comfortable and cosy. Perfect for people who are looking to rest, and focus inward for a while. There is no wifi in the tiny house but very good internet in the main house, where we were always welcome to hang out, which for us… read more

Will forever remember my time in the are ❤️ we were supposed to stay 3 weeks, ended up staying 6. The volunteer team and the staff soon became family and we're already missing everyone. Until next time!

Volunteering at the animal sanctuary is a hard job, that requires strong work ethics, compassion and reliability . Maximilian & Diane are AAA volunteers who were hard working, dedicated and flexible. We are very lucky they have chosen to devote a month of their life to our project and rescue animals!

We had an amazing time staying! It is impossible not to fall in love with all the cats and dogs there (and soooooo hard not to bring one home) and the team was amazing.
But beware: The work can be hard, especially because of the the high temperature and humidity, and a volunteer has to be ready to live in a house with 10 dogs, so it's not always… read more

Max and Diane were by far my favorite workaway people so far. They didn't simply do the things on our list (which was more than we even expected) but were always looking for ways to help. Their attitude and interest in learning was excellent. We enjoyed our conversations very much. Any host would be fortunate to have them.

We had an amazing time staying with Jill and Brendt taking care of the garden, the house, making cheese and picking the asparagus. The house was so comfortable and we started feeling at home right away. And Chicago was only a 45 mins drive away by train, which is perfect!

With Max and Diane we were 6 or 7, from as many countries. Max is an amazing cook. They took my dog Nala on long walks, loving her like their own. They love nature. We were five to win the Camp 4 Yosemite lottery. We got to hike the Vernal and Nevada Falls under amazing clear skies. Max and Diane were kind and conscientious, respectful of others… read more

It was such an amazing experience staying at Stan's! Thanks to him we had some great adventures and made some incredible friends. Stan is kind, funny, and always ready for adventures. And let's not forget his partner in crime, Nala, the sweetest, nicest Doberman. We are so happy that we got to stay in this beautiful home with all these beautiful… read more

Carol and Bud welcomed us not only into their house, but into their family. They invited us to celebrate their son's birthday, with everyone, and it was such a great feeling to be part of it! They made us feel at home right away, they are generous and kind hearted.
We had an amazing time discovering the national parks and the city of St George.

I normally write references after our workaway guests have left, but I know they are seeking their next opportunity, so I'm posting early. Max and Diane came to us while we already had a workaway guest in our guest room, willing to sleep in our tent trailer. From the very first day, they have shown us that they are mature young people with… read more

He is a hardworking, cheerful, creative and smart person. We enjoyed spending time with him, listening his presentation about Berling, and trying the food he cooked. He also well took care of the helpers who arrived after him, like a big brother to them.

And his smile!!! His smile tells everything! His smile kills us!

This was my first Workaway experience, and i have to say it was the best!
The Hostel itself is gorgeous, small but very smartly used spaces. The surrounding place is super central and you can explore Nagoya easily by foot from the guesthouse.
Everything is on the highest standard and allways clean, off course if you keep it that way ;)
The Staff… read more
