Description
We are Zoe and Kai. We are fun loving people who like to try new things.

We’re seeking new experiences where we can challenge ourselves, build our skills, help others and connect with new people.

We like a simple way of life and have a no-frills attitude when it comes to travelling and workaway - we are keen to adapt to the lifestyle of the host and learn about their perspective.

Zoe & Kai are kind, chilled and generally good hearted people.

Volunteering at the English school in Attaouia was a great experience.

The Moroccan culture is a beautiful, kind and loving one. They would help anyone who needed it, even if they didn't know you. It’s been a pleasure to be apart of for the short time (4 weeks) we were in Attaouïa.

Accommodation is perfect, you have all the stuff you need to… read more

Such a lovely family to be apart of for 3 weeks.

Graham was the main coordinator of the daily tasks. We helped with a variety of projects such as building steps with stones; moving and stacking wood; prepping foundation for wine cellar; cutting and nailing floor, walls and roof of wine cellar; shovelling dirt in bags to keep for insulation;… read more straightening bent nails; cutting down some shrubs to put the net on the natural pool; sand and varnish windows; plant veggies for the garden; walk the cute dog Ziggy; help cook lunch; clean the garage; sanitize wine bottles and bottle wine; clean up and move items in a neighbours house.

We really appreciated Graham’s flexibly, organization and open mindedness on every task. The diversity of work on the farm made the days really enjoyable. Graham always made sure we we had the things we needed and that we were having fun. There were always some laughs going on during the jobs. Sometimes we worked without Graham and he gave us the freedom to do the task with our own creativity which, we very much appreciated.

Both Saranne and Graham are amazing cooks. Every meal we had was just simply amazing. We even cooked for everyone a couple times which was fun.

The accommodation is wonderful. We got our own bathroom and bedroom with a very comfortable bed. The farm is so quiet and dark, it is perfect sleeping conditions.

Not having a car didn’t hinder us at all. If you want to go to a bigger city, you can take a bus to Macerata which is really nice. On the flip side there is a pretty moderate hike up to the nearest town, about 30mins. It is a small town with not much in it but there is a bar. There are very beautiful views in the area. We also were able to jump in the car with Graham or Saranne if they were planning on going to town.

We sometimes grabbed a ride into a town and grabbed a beer or some gelato. The towns in the area are really cool. Graham and Saranne will give you some recommendations if you ask!

We really felt apart of the family since the first day. Graham, Saranne, Miri, Breda, and Ziggy all welcomed us with open arms. We ate lunch and dinner together pretty much every day.

Saranne works from home so it was really nice to chat and get to know her as well. She would always ask us how we are doing and making sure we had everything we needed. Saranne is very easy to talk to, we could of stayed up late talking every night. Lol

Miri and Breda are spectacular humans. They are both so smart and talented. Miri taught us about music and inspired us to make our own music! Breda is an amazing singer and inspired us with her radiating confidence. We loved playing card games with the girls.

And of course the Zig Zogs. He is such a lovely pup. He is always so happy to see you and he loves to be chased around. It was fun taking him on walks around the area and playing with him.

I could keep going but I will stop here. If you want an amazing work away experience, shoot them a message!

It was fab Having Zoe and Kai stay with us for over 3 weeks. We really got some great jobs complete, some of which involved heavy lifting, stonework, woodworking and using electric tools. We also did some good gardening work in preparation for the winter.
Zoe in particular, is a real get up and goer, full of energy and always more than willing to… read more

(Our stay was from Oct.26-Dec.5)

Working at the shelter with James and Jani was an enriching experience. We had many opportunities to grow our skills through carpentry, landscaping, animal care and training.

We very much enjoyed having Zoe and Kai stay with us for over 5 weeks. They are a very lovely couple and made sure to support us wherever help was needed - walking, feeding and caring for puppies, kittens, adult cats & dogs, building a beautiful walkway out of old palettes, cleaning & setting up rooms & cages, using carpentry skills to improve… read more
