Andrea was very helpful and a pleasure to host. My house looks very much lovelier due to her hard work and I hope she will return sometime in the future.
We had many good discussions and fun moments ...
I hope you enjoyed your stay Andrea and wish you luck in future travels.

I had such a great time staying with Glenda and her wonderful dog Igloo in the cute little cottage. The work is varied and fun and I could always chose what I enjoyed doing most, while Glenda always made an effort to work beside me. We did trips together to the beach and a nearby WWII cemetery and I even discovered my artistic side when I got some… read more

What a lovely experience it has been hosting Charlotte! We've had a great time getting to know each other.
She has helped with many tasks in both the house and garden and is not afraid to get stuck in.
We've laughed often and had some great fun. My dog is in love with her!
I think he wants to go travelling...

Kingsize bed and very… read more
