Vom Host für Workawayer (Lewis)
Lewis is a very intelligent person and a convivial guest. He applies his intellect to practical tasks, with a particular penchant for mechanical solutions. He is very willing to take on all types of manual work. Lewis is conscientious and always wants to see any job through to a successful conclusion. Always willing to do more, the improvements he
… read more achieved have left his mark here in the South of France.
Lewis is delightful company. He has excellent manners and etiquette. He is interesting and informative in conversation. We usually play music as a backdrop to every evening meal. He enthusiastically shared our interest in diverse genre and artists from around the world. Lewis was intrigued by artists new to him and, in exchange, introduced us to other artists from Latin America.
Lewis likes physical exercise and enjoyed some hiking excursions during his days off. All too soon his time with us came to its end and he departed for a preplanned rendezvous in another city with friends.
We can thoroughly endorse and recommend Lewis to anyone looking for an adaptable, hard working and intelligent workawayer.

Luisina greeted us with a big smile. She kept smiling throughout her stay with us and created a happiness that was infectious to everyone.

Ketlen is well travelled and a lively, knowledgeable and interesting person in conversation. The evening meals were a convivial time, rounding off the day of successful progress being made around our home.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Ayelén )
Ayelen came to us as a last minute invitation. As well as her great personality she also brought a wealth of knowledge and practical experience of the exact problems we were wanting to solve. For us, it was a wonderful timely encounter.
Ayelen worked tirelessly. Physically she worked on construction projects in the grounds. In addition, on her
… read more own initiative, she would research on-line for materials and methods appropriate to the schemes of work. The guidance Ayelen provided made the installation of a new gate to the garden much better planned and executed. Our other big concern was to improve drainage in some areas. Again, Ayelen was there for us, with informed advice, planning and hands on work to accomplish a working system. To top off her invaluable contribution to our project, before leaving, Ayelen gave us comprehensive guidance notes for future work. These notes were accompanied by detailed customised drawings produced with a CAD programme. She even consulted with an engineer in Buenos Aires to get a second opinion and more good ideas! Industrious and conscientious, Ayelen was a delight and a pleasure to work with.
Around the dining table we exchanged anecdotes and opinions on a great range of subjects. Ayelen is very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning a lot more about her native Argentina. Ayelen was easy for us to accommodate at mealtimes because she happily ate a wide variety of Gill's plat du jour! She was always polite and cheerful, especially with the music. We were happy playing a lot of tunes with Spanish lyrics including, of course, Carlos Gardel! Ayelen was very practical in the house, helping clearing up after meals and cleaning her room on her own volition.
No task appeared to daunt her. We unhesitatingly commend Ayelen to anyone and her cheerful attitude is a pleasure to share.
For us, it will be delightful to meet Ayelen again in the future, near or far, and maybe meet her sister too!

Wow, where to begin... First of all with a huge THANK YOU to Steve and Gill, for theirs hospitality, for the time shared, for amazing meals, for being always available to help me and for making me feel super comfortable since I first contacted them.

I spent three weeks with them, and we had some work done (we put an entry gate, and we did looooots of digging for solving a rain problem). Sometimes it was harder than others, but I enjoyed it very much, not only for the satisfaction that finishing a task gives, but also because we had lots of fun while working.
Steve and Gill are a lovely couple, they get along with each other very well and that makes a great environment both during work and off work; Gill being very patient and organised, making this amazing caceroles and lasagnas and much more, everything DELICIOUS! Steve, making lots of jokes all the time (and laughing about them!), always with his music from here and there, absorbing musical culture from workawayers, and sometimes playing argentinian music to please me :) They remember all of the workawayers that have worked with them and they have plenty of stories to tell, something that I find great because they really want to share experiences, and not only have people working with them.
I think we had a great time together, I hope seeing you again eventually, if Planets align :P
A big hug for you both, and again, thank you very very much :D

Both Steve and Gill have so much knowledge about the region (and France in general) which was great to hear. They gave me plenty of ideas on places I might like to go and visit.

Rob is a credit to his Irish, being charming and engaging with his conversation. He has been about the world to a number of countries, and continents, sometimes working and other times as a traveller. With his artistic eyes Rob has good observational skills and is perceptive. His anecdotes and appreciation of life in Ireland and abroad are great to listen to.

He is easy and gracious at mealtimes, careful without being fussy about his diet. He really liked the fruit ripened in the Mediterranean sun. Sport is something he thoroughly enjoys and has particular interests in Rugby, Gaelic Sports and most of all Boxing.

We think Jordan came to us on an impulse. If so, it was an impulse beat that was harmonious with us.
Jordan is polite, articulate, amusing and works well. It is evident that through family and education Jordan has evolved a strong work ethic. We had some rooms requiring painting with some urgency. He set about the task with alacrity and

Jordan is also a convivial conversationalist. He has a knowledge that has diversity and depth. The knowledge on films and music is positively encyclopaedic. His radio presenter training is evident in the effortless way he trips across topics like a concert pianist rippling around a keyboard.
We also admired the way he loved his own family and country, Canada. Travelling and sampling many countries is splendid. To be able to know where your home is and appreciate it just as it is, we think is especially commendable. Thank you Jordan, you brought our project back on track.
We wish you well for the future.

Gill and Stephen were incredible hosts! They were a dream to work for. This was my first work away experience and I have to say it was wonderful.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Virginia)
Virginia was a joy to have as a guest and an asset in grinding out the the gritty jobs.
Virginia was very diligent showing great attention to the detail of any task, however mundane. Virginia was methodical and conscientious about finishing anything that she started. Our garden has never looked better thanks to her persistent approach to the

Lunchtimes and dinner were enliven by her repartee of stories and observations about life, the universe and everything.
As a guest she blended into the household beautifully. Our son, who visited us while Virginia was with us, felt like he'd met another sister, more than a house guest. They got on famously.
The legacy of her work here will stay, but we do miss her personal presence after she left us to add another chapter to her adventure in Europe.

In addition to great accommodations and meals, you will feel the warmth of Gill's personality and experience Steve's incredible knowledge of history.

Vom Workawayer (Renee) für Host
Gill and Steve welcomed me on very short notice in April and then hosted me for more than four weeks! They are an extremely gracious and interesting couple who shared great conversation, food, accommodations, and many aspects of their life in the south of France. Their house is situated in a quaint village and the surrounding area offers lots of

Vom Host für Workawayer (Renee)
Renée is quite a pioneer and adventurous. While with us, she pleasantly surprised us with the initiative to organise a successful excursion to Barcelona for a couple of days. Renée also ingeniously used the canal paths as a cycle route to other places, including the beaches.
Renée was polite, easy to cater for and to get along with. She was

Renée was very willing to tackle any task and was surprisingly strong and resilient for her relatively diminutive stature .
We enjoyed the presentation she had prepared for her previous teaching assignment in France. It provided us with an evening of some levity and enlightenment.
We would recommend her to anyone and would welcome her here again.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Phoebe & Nait)
Phoebe and Nait are a great duo.
They worked really hard for us. Some tasks were pretty tough. Especially shifting 22 tonnes of gravel in one afternoon to create the kind of car park we have lacked for years.
They were considerate guests and easy to get along with. They were interesting and intelligent people and we had never realised

We were careful about Nait's diet and he, in turn, was very gracious when there was any doubt about traces of ingredients that might trigger his allergies.
We can commend them as good house guests who work with gusto.

Gill and Stephen were incredible hosts! Not only did they keep us well fed but they were always suggesting fun things to experience in the nearby area. The work was a little tough some days but balanced out with a extra hours off.
We will miss the engaging conversations about history and obscure facts, the amazing food and of course the wind.
