One of the highlights was the stunning view from my room — I was fortunate to stay in a guest room instead of the volunteer room. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. The work itself was straightforward and usually finished before 2 PM. I was given €25 a week for groceries, for lunch and dinner. There's also plenty of free time to explore the surrounding area, with beautiful hikes and views of the Alps. A tip for future volunteers: if you speak German or Bulgarian, communication will be much easier, as the family is Bulgarian. ❄️🏔️🌲😆🫶🏼

I'm so grateful and feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to explore Döbriach :) Marie and her family are super welcoming and lovely; we worked as a team. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast every day :). Dóbriach is a lovely town. It is located around a beautiful lake, with incredibles mountains that I loved every day when I went for hiking and I met wonderful people who became friends. Thank u so much Marie, Arno, Yolina, and her dad, for your generosity, kindness, and empathy. It was beautiful, and there are not enough words to say thank u for this amazing experience¡Dankeschön! 💜

I loved my time in Döbriach and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to volunteer at the guest house! The work is well organized, super easy to learn and mainly consists of cleaning private rooms in the guest house. Döbriach is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. It has stunning nature/mountain views and it's filled with lots of hiking trails and biking trails, it's truly a breathtaking place. I can't thank Marie and Arno enough for all of their generosity, kindness, support and never ending conversations 🫶

This was such a beautiful and peaceful experience. Marie and her family are very kind and welcoming. The area is beautiful with many opportunities to hike, bike ride, explore and swim if it's warm enough. The work is super manageable, about 3 hrs a day depending on how busy the guesthouse is and you have so much free time before and after work. The accommodation was always warm and comfortable. I was also lucky to meet some really gorgeous people there. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is looking for a bit of peace and to explore a beautiful part of the world :)
