What an amazing experience! They are extremely welcoming and kind people. Working there had a lot of variation from picking berries, helping in the kitching, walking with the dogs, till working on fences. I met with other volunteers all over the world. Most of the time, we were together doing tasks, but also in our spare time, we would hang out at the nearby lake or play board games. Combining the diverese taks and doing other fun things in the spare time, makes this experience actual amazing. Thank you so much for everything!

The time with Fridus and Roswhita was incredibly beautiful!!🤗 They are such kind-hearted people with such big hearts. It was really fun helping them prepare for their big flea market. There was always something to laugh about, and no matter how stressful it got at times, there was always mutual respect 😇 The experience as a Worldpacker with Fridus and Roswhita was absolutely worth it, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take a break from the stress of everyday life. Thank you for letting me stay with you!☺️

Thank you, Roswitha and Fridus, for welcoming me with open arms!🔅 I arrived during a very exciting time, there was a big celebration to be prepared. I was trusted with a big variety of tasks. From squeezing orange juice (looots of oranges) to riding on the tractor shovel! Fridus always has lots of exciting stories to tell, and Roswitha is a warm-hearted woman and an impressive artist. The time ended with the big Easter celebration where we could see our work paying off! I wish you all tall the best for your well deserved retirement! And if you're ever in Bavaria, you are more than welcome!
