Hermann es super interesante, considerado, respetuoso y buena onda! Siempre atento y dispuesto a ayudar! Nos sentimos cómodas y bienvenidas desde el primer momento! Nos enseñó un montón sobre naturaleza, sostenibilidad, huerta,etc. y además compartió sus intereses con nosotras como yoga, alimentación y cultura! También nos encantó la experiencia de vivir en un la casa! En conclusión: hermoso lugar, muy rica comida, charlas divertidas e interesantes, trabajo ameno y buena compañía!

Nuestra experiencia fue hermosa! Las tareas fueron sobretodo referidas a jardinería. Herman es una persona muy interesante, nuestras charlas fueron enriquecedoras. Además nos integró en su familia y amigos, pudimos conectar con la cultura local y también entender mucho sobre sostenibilidad. Gracias Herman por todo, fue muy lindo compartir unos días juntos!

Muchísimas gracias por recibirme ! No tenía experiencia alguna y aún así confío en mi, me enseñó y tuvo paciencia. Al inicio cuesta un poco adaptarse si toda tu vida vives en ciudad, pero las tareas son llevaderas de las cuales aprendes bastante, la comida muy rica y natural. El lugar es hermoso, la casa muy interesante y Hermann es una persona con quién puedes tener platicas interesantes y me enseñó a hacer una escultura de arcilla. Su familia y amigos también me acogieron de una manera que me hicieron sentir en casa. La recomiendo si desean desconectar y conectar con la naturaleza.

Compartimos un lindo tiempo en la casa de Herman! El lugar es muy lindo , la casa muy original y agradable. Ademas la creatividad de Herman y su taller de ceramica hace la experiencia interesante! Las horas de trabajo se respetan bien , las Tareas son entretenidas si te gusta aprender de la naturaleza y cuidado del ambiente! Así como detalla en su Perfil , es estricto con el uso del agua y no se puede usar la cocina despues de las 8pm… En conclusion tanto el anfitrion como lugar excelentes! Pd: Gracias por la receta de la mayonesa Hermans' 😄
