Our stay with Joanna was really lovely. She was really trusting and welcomed us into her home. We also got to feel like part of the community as she introduced us to her friends and took us to a local exhibition. We had a great time and I would recommend her to any workawayer. Thank you so much xx

I was an accidental, last-minute workawayer at Joanna's, having a week to spare just when she needed help. She was very busy and needed someone who could get on with stuff with minimal prompting and a certain amount of own initiative. That also meant doing my own time-keeping on a flexible schedule, mostly fixing my own meals and being there by… read more

Thank you so much, Joanna, we will bring Deia always with us.

She is very in tune with the workaway philosophy and is willing to share her life in exchange for part of yours. Deia is a beautiful, quiet, and very peaceful town that has much to offer!
