Area: Tuscany Lucca

We are a family of three who lives in Lucca, close to the historical centre of the town. We are addressing to workaway for a help with works in a couple of apartments: 1) We own a cosy apartment that we rent to tourists from time to time, and we would need a help in cleaning the taking care of the apartment during the touristic season. Basically the work consists in taking care of the garden, cleaning the flat and doing some basic maintenance. 2) We would need also help in another apartment to restore the furniture, the frames and the pictures, to put new lamps. It's a new apartment that we should make ready to be rent to tourists. Here the work would consist in doing general maintenance, wood works, cleaning, painting the frames etc... I would need a person able to paint or doing little artistic works and manual skills to do do-it-yourself little works. In both cases, we could offer accommodation in our home in a shared bedroom with our little daughter of five years old.

Area:

Passionate traveler caught up, touched and formed a kids home where I enjoy live alongside by the locals in Uganda. Offer the past years I have traveled Asia but have never found a place with such unique cultures, languages and traditions as Uganda. I arrived here back in the 2011 and started a small orphanage of 15 kids who I thereof live with in our house in Kampala. I enjoy exploring authentic different landscapes, national parks and everything that Uganda has. Culture and sharing are my favourite, local traditions with others.

Area: Central Portugal

My name is Steve, english and 47yrs old. I have bought a quinta/farm in the mountains of Central Portugal in a protected nature reserve close to the river Zezere. My father had a peach farm in Cyprus when I was younger so I have been waiting to do this project for a long time! I searched over France and Greece for the right land and Portugal really is nice. Every month the environment changes and it's quite exciting. I started in Jan 2007. I have no family of my own.
