This was my first Workaway experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better host!! Laurence takes such good care of her workawayers and gives all of herself to help them feel comfortable. We could talk about all kinds of topics and she taught me a lot about gardening, wild plants, animals, the surrounding area and much more.
