Charlie and I had the BEST time with Alwin, Stephanie, and their family. They welcomed us into their beautiful home and gave us an amazing, authentic German experience. The tasks were straightforward, with Alwin giving great tips on the way, and we had a very flexible schedule to da lot of exploring as well. The kids were so cute too, we will miss them! Stephanie made amazing food for us as well. We managed to visit multiple cities/towns with the expert advice from Alwin and Stephanie, so that was fantastic too! Oma was also an angel who fed us so well. We are grateful for this experience!

Great experience in Tüdden with Alwin Stephanie and the whole the home work was easy and fun, mostly in the garden harvesting food, hanging with the kids or Oma and experiencing the culture in Germany The accommodation was amazing the apartment is great with everything you need, you have access to their kitchen food and their whole backyard with a pool and plenty of space to relax. Anyone that loves immersing themselves into new cultures is interested in learning german or just wants to have an amazing volunteer experience, this is the spot Thank you Alwin and Stephanie you are the best!

A wonderful experience. The flexible schedule allowed me to help out while exploring the region. Spending time with the animals was a joy and made my stay unforgettable. Oma's food was a highlight—delicious and prepared with care. The accommodation was comfortable and had everything I needed. I am very grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming place.

Julia and Ighor stayed with us for 2 weeks. They did every work we asked and they were really proactive. Especially with our youngest son Jonah they played a lot and he really enjoyed the time with them. They also loved to spend time with our animals. We can totally recommend Julia and Ighor as volunteers.

We had an amazing experience with Alwin and his family, everybody was so friendly and kindness with us that we felt part of the home. Alwin and Stephanie always were trying to help, indicating places and cities to visit. We learned a lot about the German customs, their typical foods and we had the chance to taste Oma's food, which is wonderful. Gratitude is what we have in our hearts.

This experience was so lovely. Everyone was so welcoming and really made me feel like part of the home. I was always involved whether it be hanging out by the pool, or going round to Oma's for lunch! The jobs were easy and never took more than a few hours. The rest of the time I could spend just chilling out by myself or playing with Jonah. Alwin and Stephanie were really easy going, if there was somewhere I wanted to visit I could just ask and they happily accommodated, as well as offering suggestions of places to go. I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience!

I stayed with Alwin and Stephanie and the kids for over 2 weeks. The tasks were flexible and diverse and the accomodation is really good, with a small place just for yourself. I had such a really good experience and I had the chance to practice my German (especially with Jonah) and get to know the culture and lifestyle. They also welcome you into their family, making it feel like home and they make sure you have a good experience, always recommending places and things to visit.

I had such an amazing time with them! The tasks and the work schedule were really flexible. In some days, I was helping out inside, cooking or playing with the little kid. In other days, I was gardening or helping with small construction work; nothing really hard or demanding. The entire family is so kind and welcoming. I was invited to be part of the home celebrations and had the opportunity to know more about their culture and lifestyle. The facilities are above standard, and the food was amazing (especially Oma's 🤤). Thank you so much for having me!

The experience was truly incredible. I have nothing but words of gratitude for everything. They are a super open family, they integrate you into their activities and lifestyle as if you were one of them. I personally experienced and felt the tasks to be carried out as part of my daily life and they are super flexible about it, it is really relaxing to be in contact with nature in such a quiet place. The kids are great, I had a lot of fun with them, they share their hobbies with you and that's great. I particularly felt at home, it's like having a German family, I learned a lot about the cultur

The experience with Alwin and his family was amazing! It was our first time on Worldpackers, and everyone was very helpful and participative. They always made sure to integrate us into the family and the city.
The food is excellent, both Alwin's wife’s and Oma's, with very typical German dishes. The city is great and close to several interesting places to explore. The space where we stayed is excellent and has everything we needed, such as work clothes, coffee, kitchen utensils and bathroom items.
We are eternally grateful for all the support from Alwin and his family!
