Description
We are a married couple. My husbands son is staying with us 2 to 3 days every other week and we have a loving dog that loves pets more than anything else.
Have you heard of DIY? That's what we do with most things. We are building pretty much everything ourselves. We provide most likely a private room with a queen bed and 3 meals per day.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Art Projects
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are not looking for workers, we are looking for a person that is a great roommate and helps us around the house and with small projects we are doing ourselves. With us you will experience Florida the real way, we will bring you to most everything we do. Sometimes we need some time for us so not quite everything ;-P lol
We like to have someone staying a minimum of 1 month.
We are very interested in learning about new cultures and want to give someone that never lived in the US a chance to live here.
We have hosted the following countries:
Germany, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Italy, Namibia, Canada, Argentina.
If you are from any of those countries, tell us what advantage we would get to host you since we've already learned about your culture. What makes you special :-)

Bill and Fabiene became my best US-Swiss friends, and I became their flying Dutchman.
I wish anyone that may visit them a crazy good time. I hope you'll find as much friends, fun and productivity as I did!

Staying with Fabienne and Bill was great and after 2 months I know what I’m talking about.
There is always some Life in the place and you get to know all their friends and people from around. I loved the Place and I’m sure there are some worse places you can do workaway.
Work was definitely not easy but when you… read more

It was my first time traveling with Workaway and I could not be better.
I texted them and got an answer from Fabienne 20 minutes later, she invited me to a video call. She showed me their whole house and described everything in detail, without any questions from my side, during the call.
It was very uncomplicated. Fabienne… read more
