Koyuki was a delight to have in our home. She was always ready to lend a hand at any task and was thorough and careful in all she did. Koyuki is a sweet young woman who brought us great joy and we really missed her when she left. Any family would be blessed to have Koyuki stay with them!

Hi, everyone :)
How are you? I hope everything is going well to you guys.
I got home in Japan yesterday! Guess what, I missed my flight from Vancouver to Japan, because I was misunderstanding the date! haha But I could change my flight, so it was okay, just a funny story! Now I'm just talking to my family about how much I enjoyed staying in… read more

We loved having Josh stay with us! He was willing to help us do anything and was diligent and thorough, making sure each job was done to our satisfaction. Josh fit into our crazy family wonderfully and contributed to our work away experience in such a positive way. He has certainly set the bar high for future work-awayers!

Wow! It's already a month ago since I stayed with the Hartmann's and it feels so awkward to describe or rather "rate" a family I had soooo much fun with. But let's try to sum up the amazing five weeks I've spend with them!

Unfortunately I had the opportunity to stay for a few days, but I really enjoyed my stay! The family is incredibly friendly and lovely! The food is amazing and the work is definitely reasonable and not to much! If you can go there,you should do it! Also very great for people who want to learn or improve their English.
