Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Shari)
Shari stayed with us for nearly 8 weeks and it was a real pleasure to have her with us.
Shari is a wonderful person , very aware of other people needs . As soon as she arrived it was as if we had known her for a long time. She was very comfortable around us and we with her. She became very quickly part of the family.
Shari is a great worker very
… read more good around the garden and could see what was needed to be done. She was such a great help , we did lots of work together and my garden had never been so beautiful and plentiful.
We had great time together chatting over a meal or a cup of tea.
We were very sad when she left, she will always be welcome in our house.

It’s difficult to put into words my feelings about my stay with Isabelle and Gerry. For sure, words will never be enough to describe my three wonderful weeks with them and to express my gratitude for everything they did for me.
It was my first Workaway experience and I was a bit anxious because I didn’t know what to expect. However, from the
… read more first moment I met Isabelle and Gerry I knew I had nothing to fear and every moment has been special and perfect (except for those cruel midges ahah). I never thought it would be possible to feel such a deep affection and to be so connected with people I haven’t met before, but that’s what happened with Gerry and Isabelle. They certainly are one of those special people you meet once in a lifetime and I know for sure I won’t be the same person as I was before knowing them.
They welcomed and treated me as if I were a member of the family (involving me in their lovely family life) and I immediately felt at home, warmly respected, accepted, safe and heartily looked after. They gave me unconditional trust, kindness and support and my presence and my work for them have never been taken for granted; in fact, they’ve always had words of appreciation for me and for the various task I did. This, of course, was really important to me because I really wanted to help them and to do a good job! They’re the most kind, gentle, caring, generous, loving, hardworking, calm, positive, sweet, cheerful, patient and hilarious people I’ve ever met! Their home is like a precious gem full of care and love: a peaceful and breathtaking place to find inner peace and to reconnect with yourself, surrounded by flourishing nature, wild mountains, sheep and endless fields. There’s something special and magical in this place, I could feel it. Here you can feel the positive and relaxed energy which was a balm for my soul; here I’ve eventually been able to breathe again after a long difficult period. I feel tremendously privileged to have had the chance to stay here and to witness Isabelle and Gerry’s worldview and their incredible and sustainable way of living. I’ve learnt so much from them: they inspired me to become a better person, even more careful about my impact on our wonderful planet. Just with their example I’ve became more aware of my way of living and I’ve realized what I think I’d like my future life to be. They’ve taught me a lot about values of life and what really matters.
The work I had to do was always doable and I had plenty of time for myself and to relax: Isabelle was always careful to give me the lighter work! I only wish I could help them more!
They were always available and helpful in any possible way: they were happy to drive me wherever I wanted and they even looked after me when I caught a cold! On my last day we went for a tour of the Beara Peninsula together and it was magical: what I’ll cherish the most is the time spent with them!
They’ve been amazingly patient with my English as well, helping me a lot to improve it and to learn new words and idioms!
I’ll miss them so dearly and I’ll miss our moments together: the morning tea and my chats/language lessons with Isabelle, our gardening works amongst the flowerbeds, the relaxing and special time I had near the sea, the delicious food Isabelle prepared everyday with so much care and love (I don’t know where she finds the time, the patience and the energy to do it after all the hard work outside!) and most of all our lovely and delicious lunches and dinners all together, full of warmth, talks and laughter! I’ll miss Little Cat and our cuddles so much!
They’ve become a second family to me and I feel so blessed and honored that our paths met in this life. I can’t thank them enough for everything they gave me (that was further more than I gave to them) and I’ll dearly keep them in my heart forever.
A million thanks Isabelle, Gerry and Little Cat, thank you, thank you!

Andrea and Nicola stayed with us for 2 weeks , they are both great workers and good company. We enjoyed our conversations around the table in the evening . They helped me a lot with my ltalian , they show great patience and kindness.
They helped us in the garden , planting potatoes , preparing the beds and cutting grass . They did other jobs
… read more around the place like cleaning a wall and painting it.
I highly recommend them.
Isabelle and Gerry are wonderful people!
They were very welcoming and made us feel at home throughout our stay.
Isabelle took the time to show us beautiful County Kerry. We helped Isabelle improve her Italian (with great success) and did some garden work, like planting potatoes, mowing the grass and redecorating the gate. We loved the healthy

We are very fond of this family and we are already planning to return soon, they are super recommended!
Thank you Isabelle for giving us the opportunity to get to know you and stay in your home and in your little paradise.
