More details about your skills
Tom is a jack of all trades and master of some. His career path started in the food industry (classic French cuisine, pastry chef, restaurant consultant, teaching); meandered to building airplanes; and finally to 15 years as a handyman contractor. The name of his business was, “All The Little Things.” Give him a list of all the little fixes you need done around the house and he’ll get to work!

My background is in project management and event planning. In other words, I enjoy organizing people, places and things! Give me a drawer, closet or room to organize and I’ll be a happy camper. Mother raised me to be a domestic goddess so I can cook many different cuisines, sew and clean!

We both LOVE furry animals and enjoy caring and spending time with them.

Together, we can cook, throw a party, clean, fix, and house/pet sit.

Santi is so kind, thoughtful and generous you can't help but like him! We helped him with repairs, organizing and cleaning, but that was nothing in comparison to the Galician lifestyle he shared with us. We enjoyed delicious home cooked meals, met his friends, visited local hangouts and played with his dog and cat. We came as workers and left as… read more

I had the greatest honor to host Clarice and Tom who helped at the school and are such wonderful people. During their stay, they were always there to help with everything from talking to students and sharing their life experiences with them to giving them a lot of moral support and positive feedback .I admit that they are the most positive and… read more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our three week stay at the Berrechid location. The students are fun and bright, and the teachers are kind and helpful. We were also very lucky to have a great crew of seven other workawayers there during our stay. Everyone got along well and was very supportive.

The accommodations are pretty basic and somewhat… read more

We had a wonderful 5 day stay with Caro! We helped her get her home back in order following her kitchen remodel, modified furniture and cooked a few dinners. She was very clear and reasonable with her requests, and very appreciative of the projects completed.

Her home is located a little outside of the downtown core, but easily walkable if you… read more

I was so delighted to host Clarice and Tom for 10 days in June 2023. They made a wonderful contribution to the living space. Tom is a skilled and meticulous handyman and painter. He puttied, filled, sanded and painted four large glass and wooden doors. The result is beautiful. Clarice made a fantastic contribution to household organisation,… read more

Tom and I had a wonderful time with Trisha. She is a very kind, generous and considerate person with an amazing drive and focus. Her warehouse home and studio exudes creativity, community, and warmth. I felt like I stepped into an art magazine article featuring an artist’s life.

She offered us a variety of projects to work on and was extremely… read more
