Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback.

Samuel was two weeks with us and it has been a great workawayer. We have been able to bring forward our veggies garden and have the soil ready for next round. In addition he supported some maintenance works. He was always happy to improve and all was according to our expectations. We loved our conversations and his amazing knowledge in all fields :). Happy stay in Germany ahead! Best wishes, Verena & Marcos

I am so happy and grateful for opportunity to spent two weeks with this amazing family. They were so kind and caring, I felt like I am part of their family all the time. I was lucky to meet the grandparents and visit their house as well, they are very lovely people. My main purpose of going to Italy was to learn italian and experience italian culture and traditions and I am so thankful for this family that they let me do that. I spent time playing with children, little bit helping around the house and in the weekends I went hiking, exploring towns nearby or visiting grandparents. The time flew really fast and again, I am grateful that I could meet this family. Also, I can confidently say, that italian food is the best. In these few weeks I have eaten the most delicious food in my entire life.

Fabian and Gina were awesome to host. If there were 6 stars it would still not be enough! These folks are super enthusiastic, friendly, funny, hard working and generally interested to learn EVERYTHING possible.Full of positive energy and a genuine joy to host. Welcome back anytime!

Jemma was a great help around the farm.She has a high attention to detail and is a very conscientious worker. She is a little shy to begin with but soon settles in to new surroundings. She has a sharp sense of humour and is great to host. Welcome back any time

Liebe Familie, Ich durfte euch im April eine Woche besuchen und Hamburg bei bestem Wetter kennenlernen. Die Aufgaben waren vor allem Wäsche machen und sich um die Küche kümmern. Das heißt Kochen, Einkaufen, Spülmaschine ein - und ausräumen und Küche ordentlich halten. Die Kinder haben sich immer gefreut, wenn man mit ihnen Gesellschaftsspiele gespielt hat. Ansonsten sind die Kinder sehr selbstständig und können eigentlich bei allem auch helfen und machen das auch. Widu, die Familienhündin, hat sich über jede Spazierrunde gefreut und war auch mit jeder Streicheleinheit zufrieden. Wenn man mit ihr spazieren geht, sollte man ein bisschen Erfahrung mitbringen. Constanze hat mir schöne Runde gezeigt und man kann auch zu Fuß echt schöne Ecken sehen. Mit der S -Bahn ist man in 30 Minuten in Hamburg und kann die Nachmittage genießen. Das Wochenende gehörte ganz mir und ich konnte super viel von Hamburg erkunden. Danke das ich euch besuchen durfte. Liebe Grüße aus Sachsen

Liva is very friendly, with good energy and always in a good mood. Throughout the tasks Liva was always motivated and motivated the others. We shared good conversations and good times. Thanks :)

Dear Pia, you added color to our lives in a short time. You are a hardworking and at the same time sympathetic young girl. Skilled in communication. It's great that you know Turkish. You are so sweet when you talk. No one gets bored around you 😊 We had various jobs and he handled the tasks. We made pancakes. I am glad you like it. When you come again, I want you to taste different flavors. I hope to see you again. All the best. Stay with love.

Muiz was supposed to stay for two weeks but we got along so well and he stayed for two months. He is very empathetic, polite and respectful with good humor. Our days were joyous and full of laughter. He took into account the neighbors and made sure everyone was happy. He is a talented person with a lot of knowledge about many things with good English. My English improved with him and I got help with my computer a lot. He fixed some things in the house. His meals were exellent and tastful. We had a lot of fun cooking together. We had nice conversations about "Got und Die Welt". He was a great help for me in the household doing daily chores. He helped in his free hours too. He liked my neighbours dog Lupa and took her on walks. My family also liked him and he is always welcome back. I am very thankful that he stood here for two months instead of two weeks.

We loved having you, Damien, and working with you was like sunshine on a cloudy day! You were responsible, hard working, supporting, and we wish you the very best on your trip through Europe. No doubt you will enjoy it! For all other hosts: you want this guy as a volunteer ;)

I had a great stay in April 2024 at this place. Junko and Frank are very friendly and they explained me everything. I always felt well and fair treated with the amount of gardening work. In my free time I enjoyed using the swimming pool, the spa or the tennis court if there are no guest at the property. The kitchen and bathrooms are clean and well equipped, also with warm water. As well there is good Wifi and the rooms are quit comfortable. I general there is a great atmosphere in the perth hills, with beatiful sunsets, sometimes kangaroos in the garden and four small and very cute dogs. I even had the possibility to use the bbq and try to play piano. I wish you, Junko and Frank, all the best. I had an amazing time with you, in the skies and with the other workawayers. Best regards Ruben

Zach was here at the lighthouse four weeks last November/December. He teamed up very well with the other volunteers and did a great job helping us with demolishing, reorganising and painting. Zach is a responsible and strong guy who keeps his calm and strived to do the tasks as good as possible. He is interested in photography and takes some very nice landscape photos. We were very happy with his effort and can recommend him to other hosts.

Unfortunately I was only able to spend 3 awesome weeks on the east coast! I can highly recommend this host for everyone: very healthy meals with ingredients from their own garden, a cozy cabin in the garden with the best view of sunrises over the bay and very varied work which is not too hard! In your freetime you'll have short distances to plenty of beautiful beaches and lakes! Dear Zenovia, Tyler and Metro, it was more than just a pleasure! I'm gonna miss the bike polo sessions!

Ama's hospitality was incredible. She made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. Priyanka, Ama's lovely helper, cooked us delicious home-cooked meals every day. We were inspired by Ama's vision for her tree-planting project. We were happy to help with the project and around the house. Everyone at Ama's place was so kind and loving. We're so grateful for the experience and wish to visit again soon! All the very best to Ama for her great work!

THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!! Was my first workaway, I stayed for 2.5 months, and honestly met some of the most amazing people, and made lifelong friends. John is so genuine, funny and full of cool stories!! and overall an amazing guy that I now consider a friend :) I fell in love with bcn because of this, and it will always hold a special place in my heart <3

Having Clara here was such a joy. Very friendly, diligent and thorough and she had a keen eye to take care of things without me having to tell her. She was also very creative and we still have her water color of our cat on the kitchen window sill. She will always be welcome back! ☀️🤗

I was originally meant to stay for 4 or so weeks but by the time I left, I had spent a little more than 2 months in Kasese with Masika and the Foundation. It was a transformative experience both on the grounds of the school and within the community of Kasese. The school provides numerous forms of volunteer contributions but at the end of the day, teaching is often the most needed and one that you will likely take part in if you are comfortable. There is always the option to choose not to and if so, there are other tasks available such as maintaining the garden, looking after/entertaining the kids (which is always a fun time), and on occasion, I would even help with preparing lunch for the school. The children are incredibly enthusiastic about volunteers and very friendly so expect nothing less than endless attention and curiosity from them haha. I stayed at Masika’s flat and was well accommodated with evening meals most nights from the caretakers while staying in a separate room with other volunteers. The place is located above a bank and there is atleast one guard outside 24/7 so I felt I was safe and not at risk of any theft whenever I left valuables at home for longer periods of time. Masika is a hard working nurse and dedicated woman so don’t expect to find her at the school very much. You will usually see her everyday at home but for short periods of times as she may be between shifts, taking care of her baby, or busy handling business pertaining to the hospital or the foundation. That said, she is always quick to respond if you reach out to her through text or a phone call. She is very resourceful and willing to help you with any questions or concerns. She also knows plenty of people within the area and is willing to provide you with contact details or general recommendations for weekend activities. It’s also worth mentioning that just before I left, she hired a friend named Reagan (a very friendly and nice guy in his mid 20s) to be a “volunteer coordinator” who is there for you if you have any questions, need help at home or at the school, and generally, to provide volunteers with a sort of guidance and transparency from their time arrival. The only real issue I faced was during my first weeks over the holiday break when there was no school. Sometimes I felt there was a lack of communication as Masika would be busy during the day and us volunteers were unsure of what to do without there being school. So now with a new person there to overlook the volunteers, I think this won’t do much be a problem. Also, Masika’s brother Stuart is a contributor/supporter of the foundation and he is another person you can refer to whenever you have any questions. He was often who I was reporting too once I first arrived there. Beyond the foundation, I felt pretty safe in Kasese just expect to be the center of attention walking through town. But the locals are quite welcoming and I even felt a sense of community after 2 months of being there. There is a big vegetable market just down the street from where I stayed, little stores scattered around for basic drinks and snacks, some restaurants, and gorgeous scenery surrounding it all. There is hiking nearby, hot springs, the national park for safaris, tailors all around who can hand craft clothing for you, and a beautiful river that I spent quite a bit of time at relaxing and cooling down. If you are interested in the program, I totally recommend it as you feel your actions are going towards a good cause and there is also plenty to be gained from a volunteer perspective as well. You receive a pretty intimate understanding of what the lifestyle involves for local Ugandans living in more of a rural environment. And I think there is plenty to be learned from their way of living and understanding of existence. I treasured my time and I will absolutely return at some point in the future. Thank you to Masika, her family, and all involved within the school for this incredible stay! Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions as I’m happy to answer them :)

The time was an exceptionally great volunteering experience for me! Chixculub Pueblo (CP) is a lovely, yet quiet little town near Merida. So this volunteering is the right for you if you want to experience village life in Yucatán, to get to know local communities and their history and to simply do something good. It might not be the right for you if you plan to stay at a touristy party location. Dom Héctor is a very supportive and kind person, taking a lot of care that volunteers have a great time. During my stay I could use the kitchen and a room, sometimes I cooked food myself, but often we volunteers had shared breakfast or lunch with Don Héctor. He and his life partner even took me to Uxmal and a cenote, plus explained me a lot about local life. There were very high temperatures when I arrived in Yucatán, which made it impossible to work on the Maya houses. So we used the time to create a virtual walking tour to discover the Maya houses in CP and we organized a semi virtual exhibition, with a lot of support from the local communities. I loved the time here, found new friends and will definitely come back when I am in Mexico again.

We are happy to have hosted Jenny and Scott for two weeks in our home. They are cheerful and helpful individuals; in fact, with their help, we were able to complete some important tasks. We enjoyed our time together, learning new things from each other, including about our respective cultures. They have a great interest in learning Italian and the local culture, as well as new skills. Our first experience as hosts on Workaway with them was very positive and encourages us to seek new experiences. We hope they can come back again!

Sabine & Benedikt were a pleasure to have with us, They are trustworthy, hard working, polite, flexible, interested and never gave up. They are a super nice couple. We were very happy with how they completed a variety of different projects and did more than asked for. Highly recommend! We wish you all the best. Justa & Albert
