I had a truly wonderful time staying with CC, Marty and little Móg. They were so welcoming, kind, appreciative, and understanding hosts. Helping them with their family life was a joy, having cozy nights in with games/ tv was so lovely, and the Wexford Pride events I attended while staying there were truly wonderful!
Staying with this family has

Chloe brought so much joy and energy into our home. We really felt we were saying goodbye to a close friend when Chloe's time with us was finished.
Chloe took on the tasks of cooking and cleaning during their stay and we were so so grateful to have their help on all of these. The food Chloe made was DELICIOUS! Chloe also took on other smaller

We look forward to Chloe (hopefully) visiting again a couple of months :)

The two weeks I spent with CC, Marty, and Móg were the highlight of my travels. They are an incredibly hospitable family who created such a welcoming atmosphere, which I deeply appreciated. No matter the time of day or type of day, they were always in good spirits and being around them made me feel at peace. Móg is also a wonderful and peaceful

CC and Marty were always considerate of my needs and desires, from the type of work I was interested in doing, to the type of sights I wanted to see in my off time. I was able to choose my tasks from a long list of options and always very kindly reminded by CC to take breaks if I needed them. However, the work I did was so enjoyable and so appreciated that it was truly a joy to do (and didn't feel like "work" at all!).
They both thoughtfully invited me along to anywhere they were going so that I could see more of Ireland. Among other activities, I was able to attend a yoga class led by CC and was able to sightsee around Kilkenny, thanks to Marty taking me along during his day working in the city.
Overall, CC and Marty are genuine and kind people, whom I sincerely enjoyed staying with, laughing with, and talking to. I feel so grateful for my time there and would wholeheartedly recommend them as hosts!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

We really can't speak highly enough of Mia and the time she spent in our home. Life was sincerely so much easier with Mia around!
During her stay, she was so incredibly hard working - always proactive and eager to help in big and small ways. We couldn't believe how much Mia achieved in the garden in just 2 weeks. She strimmed and mowed grass

All the while, Mia was so pleasant and easy to be around. We enjoyed sharing stories, discovering comedians together and just sitting quietly in each others company. Any host would be so lucky to have Mia stay with them. We wish her the very best of luck with her travels!

Alissa and Ori are such a warm and friendly couple and we were so glad to have their quiet, happy presence in our home.

I can't describe how happy we were with Kathi. She fit easily and naturally into our home from the very beginning.

Although we didn't stay too long, we still learn a lot from them, we really admired that Every member in this family has strong personality, and they all fully devote themselves to the things they like. The perseverance and enthusiasm what we saw on them is hard to describe but very inspired us!
Most of the projects we work on are not too difficult. They make a list for us to choose the projects we want to do, so we can fully in charge the plan. We have helped them painting the garden arch and build a new raise bed. Besides, we are honored to have a chance to company with Mog and welcome their new family member Rua with them! Sometimes when we working too long(Actually is not long at all) they will always ask us to rest more. We also grateful that they give us the chance to make the meal for them and paint a mural for them, hoping this mural can accompany MOG through his childhood.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

We had the best time staying with CC, Marty and Móg! They were very welcoming and easy-going so we always felt comfortable in their presence.

Móg is a bright little baby who can be quite confusing with all his facial expressions. But he seemed to like us haha. CC and Marty are very flexible with working hours and the work itself. There are a lot of projects going on outside and inside and we could choose whatever we felt like doing, which was great. Mostly the tasks were easy like cleaning, cooking or playing with Móg. They all have great personalities and it was very interesting to get to know them. We are really looking forward to seeing them again!
