Left by host for Workawayer (Anne Margarethe & Max Hannes)
It was an absolute pleasure to host Anne & Max. We had a short time together but it was sweet. We laughed so hard and had great conversations about politics and life the universe and everything. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great cultural experience combined with some hard graft. :)

In September, we spent a week at Catriona's beautiful place. We had lots of laughs and she showed us some of the best places in Providence. We really enjoyed cooking with her, doing some work in and around the house, going surfing in the Atlantic as well as visiting a Pub Quiz together. Also had a great time walking the two dogs (super cute!).

Eliot was a breath of fresh air. We did lots of fun projects and he was a pleasure to host. Despite the age difference we had such a fun time either while working, driving in the car when he was DJ to eating meals. It was one of the best cultural exchanges I had and we are still in touch. He epitomizes what a cultural exchange should be... hard

What a great way to start the workaway experience! Catriona was kind, accommodating to my several changes of plans, and very interesting to talk to. She has a great amount of travel experience to share. She made me feel at home from the first day. The work was just what I expected with just the right challenges for my skills. From the unique

It was a pleasure to host Simo & Anna. I was so sorry to see them go. They were so diligent and helpful around the house. Amazing range of skills and what they hadn't done before they embraced as a learning experience. We had a lovely time working hard and making the most of their time off... from beaches to sunset drinks to Waterfire in

We have been with Catriona for around three weeks. This was our first experience as workawayers and it couldn't have been better!
She is respectful and kind. She knows how to treat workawayers and how to be a host. Accommodation was good, living there is like to live at home!
Nice to meet you Catriona, greetings from Italian guys hope to see you

I stayed with Catriona for only a week but we fit alot in! Catriona was an excellent tour guide and we went to some amazing restaurants aswell as a polo game, visiting her friends and getting our hair done! Newport is a pretty city with lots to do (I didn't manage to fit it all in a week). She showed me around the island of Newport whilst we also

Overall, my stay was brilliant. I met her two dogs Ruthie and Louis and I had a lovely room overlooking one of the mansions.
Whilst I was there, Catriona cooked wonderful food and we got on well and had a laugh. I would 100% recommend this workaway and hope to stay in touch!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I watched Catriona's two adorable dogs for a week in early April, and it was an excellent experience for my first Workaway! Catriona's house is perfectly situated between the Newport Cliffwak and the downtown area, right in walking distance of the famous Gilded Age mansions and some of Newport's best beaches. Additionally, Catriona has a

Catriona herself was a fabulous and generous host. I enjoyed spending time with her and hearing about her travels. She helped me come up with ideas for my next adventure abroad and connect with people around the world!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Olivia stepped in last minute to help me look after my dogs while I was away at a wedding in another country. We had a lovely afternoon & dinner experience before I left and I would happily recommend her to anyone.
