A Special Visit from Dr. Shiblee and Akram
Dr. Shiblee and his son Akram stayed with us for a few days, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. They brought a touch of Indian culture into our home, shared stories and brought us some Indian specialties, which we appreciated very much.
Both speak English very well, and Akram also communicated

They spent a lot of time with our children, played with them, and even tried some memory and logic games with our oldest daughter, which we all found engaging. They were also very considerate and helpful around the house, and it felt like having extended family with us for a short time.
We’re grateful for the time they spent with us and would be happy to welcome them again.
A Memorable Stay with Nicola, Sebastian, and Their Lovely Family
I am Dr. Shiblee, and together with my son Akram, we had the joy of staying a few days with Nicola, Sebastian, and their wonderful children—Bianca, Aurelia, and their sweet new baby. It was truly a heartwarming and inspiring experience that we will never forget.
First of all, the

Nicola is an incredibly kind, open-minded, and warm-hearted host. From the moment we arrived, she and Sebastian made us feel like part of their family. Their hospitality was genuine and full of care.
I spent most of my time playing and bonding with their daughters Bianca and Aurelia, and of course, enjoying moments with their adorable baby. I miss them dearly already. Their home is filled with love and warmth, and they treated us not just as guests, but like close relatives.
Akram and I also went trekking in the surrounding mountains—it was an unforgettable adventure, especially in the rain. The natural beauty and the peacefulness of the area made it a truly special experience.
We left with full hearts and many cherished memories. Though our stay was short, we are already making plans to return and stay longer next time.
We truly miss Nicola, Sebastian, Bianca, Aurelia, and especially the little one. Thank you so much for everything.
Warm regards,
Dr. Shiblee & Akram
Vom Host für Workawayer (Marius)
Marius stayed with us for 4 weeks. He had noticeable difficulties integrating into the routines of our household, which is based on a sustainable lifestyle. These values were completely unfamiliar to him, and he showed no willingness to engage or adapt.
Unlike most of our previous guests, Marius did not come to enjoy nature or take part in
… read more outdoor activities. He was mainly looking for a roof over his head and a place to work on his laptop. Our home is not designed for this kind of arrangement, and the dynamic quickly became uncomfortable. For example, it felt inappropriate to be greeted in pyjamas around 10:30 a.m. while we had been working in our homeoffice since early morning.
Before his arrival, Marius described himself as a professional chef (“Chefkoch”), which raised our expectations. Unfortunately, his cooking was basic, and he lacked familiarity with common kitchen appliances. He was also not open to improving or adapting in the kitchen, making it more efficient to cook ourselves.
During his stay, Marius became concerned about a possible fungal infection (ringworm) due to contact with our cats. Two veterinarians had already assessed the situation and confirmed it was harmless and not a risk to humans. Marius showed no symptoms but requested preventive skin treatments. We provided him – free of charge – with a medicated cream recommended by our dermatologist for actual treatment cases. However, he insisted on using additional products for general skin care and expected us to pay for them. We explained that we ourselves used only the same cream and that no further preventive measures were medically necessary.
It is clearly stated in our profile that we live with cats and ducks. Zoonoses can occasionally occur when living closely with animals – especially with young animals, as was the case with our kittens. Anyone who identifies as an animal lover should understand that animals, like humans, can sometimes fall ill and that this is a part of living in a shared environment.
In summary, this was not a positive experience. Marius did not show the openness or initiative we expect from guests, and we would not recommend him to other hosts looking for engaged and flexible volunteers.

This was my first workaways experience where i decided to let 1 star review, even tho i had around 15 experiences, and some have been positive and some negative.
the reason are the following :
because i already had experience with workaway i took some extra steps, to be sure we both agree on the experience, experience that in the end went really
… read more bad.
1) i asked nicola 3 times, during a call, on WhatsApp and workaway message what should i do, and what specifically is my job. and she said " just help a little bit in the house, like cooking or watering the plants ". every time i asked, i had the same answer. for the first week the situation was more or less okay, even tho i help much more than 25 hours a week it was not a problem but the second week i got a bit frustrated. the house need a lot of cleaning, really a lot, and they never mentioned that. so because of that i didnt cleaned a lot, but i was still doing babysitting, cooking and doing other jobs, doing my max 25 hours a week WW agreement. i remember it was the second week, saturday, when nicola complained that i " didnt clean ". when she told me that, i said " sorry but i already did what you told me, what is happening ". then she said that the other workawayers where cleaning a lot more and helping, and i literally said " im sorry but we literally have a maximum of 25 hours a week of work ", and she didnt say anything, just that the other workawayers were helping more than me.
unfortunately for that reason, we had many little arguments about many thing in the same way. all the things that we agreed upon, where completely forgotten.
for example i asked that i need a table and a chair because i do some work online. she told me that they have a table and chair. then it was not true at all. (we went into the garage to take some scraps and put them together to make a ""table"")
and unfortunately i had many case like this, for example when nicola was complaining with me that i was not spending enough time " outside ", saying that other WW were spending even full 2 days outside. but if i had to work 5 hours just one day, how i could been hiking all day ?
in the last week nicola even shout at me. for example she gave me a recipe where i had to boil some vegetables. while i was cooking, she came into the kitchen and shout at me " why are you boiling them, i didnt told you to boil them ".i then literally showed her the recipe with the instruction, and she completely didnt care about it, not even say sorry.
and the same happens with the ringworm. basically the cats have been affected with ringworm, a mushrooms that is very contiguous, where the host have been affected, and then i as well.
they went to the doctor and had a treatment, but almost didnt care about me. a sickness that requires around 2 weeks of treatment, but they just told me to stay away from the cats (even after they knew about it, the cats were running around all the house) and even after i got infected, the only thing they did it was to let me use the medicine (is a cream that need to be applied to the mushroom) for around 2 day, after that, they were keeping that medicine just in their room all the time.
and because is so contiguous, you need to clean all of your clothes, bath towel, bed sheets ecc...all the time. things that have not been done, and i was afraid by the time i had to leave, i would have carried that with me back home or with the next host family. so i told nicola to let me 2 day in quarantine where i would be eating outside, and then i will leave.( i went to the doctor and they confirmed me it takes around 2 weeks to get rid of it. so the only choice i had it was to all the products and hope for the best.) she just told me to do everything that i want to " feel safe ". i then spend the 2 days to use the treatment and clean all my clothes, bath towel ecc... and then the third day i left.
before leaving i tried to talk with her, but she was just more and more hostile.
her arguments were : that i always spending time in my room, and the other workawayers where always " outside". but again, just 5 hours a day was just the help i had to do. not counting my part time job as well.
saying that i cannot cook and that they expecting much more. but in that situation, i never mentioned that im a professional chef, but both in real life and workaway, i never had someone complaining about my dishes that i cooked. and i have to add that she never let me cook dishes that i know and i wanted to cook. not even once.
and like i mentioned before, she said that " i was not helping enough " and other workawayers where helping much more. just goes beyond what should be allowed with workaways, (which is max 25 hours/ week) and if im helping all the time, for sure i cant also be " outside all the time". so i couldnt understand her arguments.
with that being said i can understand that some " situations " may not work, but is very important that people are honest and objective about the whole experience. at least in half of the experiences i had with workaway, people were not really telling the truth about everything. but just this time it was a really bad situations, were too many things have not been honest.
which is the reason we talk so much with texting and do even videocall. because everyone wants to avoid to travel half europe and spend a lot of money, and then 2 days later go back home. and the same rules applies for both workawayers and host. but in my case i always wanted to be as honest as possible, which may be the reason i never had bad feedback even tho i had so many experiences.
i hope they can think about it and take it more seriously.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
