Chris was a host's dream. Always enthusiastic, energetic and helpful, Chris was self-propelled when it came to completing projects and participating in general home and life activities. She learned quickly and enjoyed working, especially when it came to gardening and outdoor maintenance projects. Chris was eager to explore the area, biking many

Hi,
If you are looking for a super friendly, open minded, relaxed host living in an amazing house in the country side, then this is for you!!!
Lori is a wonderful and generous host. The kitchen is full of delicious, healthy organic food. Before volunteering with her I had not been a great fan of gardening. Her enthusiasm for gardening, however, is

The surrounding Berkshire Mountains are really beautiful and there are great bike trails in the area.
I highly recommend this host if you want to experience living in the countryside with a warm and caring host.
Thanks for everything Lori, I would be delighted to return.

Lori lives on a beautiful property in the Berkshires.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Morgan)
It was a pleasure to host Morgan. She was more than willing to help out with any task and was a hard worker who completed every job to the best of her ability. She did a great job with mulching (much hard work) and was helpful in the kitchen, always asking if I needed help with anything else. Morgan has great skills in marketing and social media.

Andrea was a wonderful addition to our community who went above and beyond expectations.

She was such a great help to us and we would certainly recommend her to others.Feedback

Dan (AKA Patrick) was the best of the best. He was awesome with power tools and helped me cut up three locust trees for firewood (in two days). He worked well with everyone on this project, was generous with his time and spirit and was truly a leader. Dan is energetic and professional and eager to help. He went above and beyond the job, installing

In addition, he offered to drive another workaway to the train station (not nearby), led a grocery shopping excursion and was fabulous at cleaning up in the kitchen. My only complaint was that he couldn't stay longer (or that I didn't have two Dans). I hope to work with you again sometime. :)
Vom Host für Workawayer (Hayden)
It was a pleasure to host Hayden. He was a diligent worker and excellent vegan cook. He is very generous of spirit and volunteered to do the grocery shopping, a task I do not love. Hayden was agreeable to do any of the work requested, including lots of yardwork and painting. He did a good job, whatever the task. Hayden was quiet, but made friends

Vom Workawayer (Hayden) für Host
Staying at Lori's was a great way to enjoy my first month in New York State! She's really easy to get along with but is also clear about her values and how she wants you to live in her home (which, I think, is a good thing!). I almost always got to choose when I worked and it was never too much. Although some of the work could get boring and

She helped connect me with several people including a car mechanic who saved me hundreds of dollars on a repair and my next host!! Every weekend, I was able to drive to Troy to visit my girlfriend and Lori was happy to host her as well! The house is rarely without healthy food and it was a joy to cook and bake for Lori, her son, and other guests. My new host is nearby so I'm excited to come back every once in a while and cook them more food :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Leah)
It was a pleasure to have Leah stay with us. She was always cheerful and willing to work on whatever task or project needed doing.

I felt like family from the moment I arrived.
I had everything I could ever want and more, I met so many people, and I learned so much!
The house was always filled with people and I made a lot of friends. I got to go to the inn (another local workaway where I met fellow travelers!) and the animal sanctuary (there are yaks?! It was awesome).
… read more Also, I made a new best friend, Lori’s niece from Boston who visited a few times and taught me how to dance. We took turns cooking and Lori taught me how to make some classic Italian and Mediterranean dishes. The kitchen is overflowing with healthy delicious food and flavors from all different cultures.
Lori, the host, is the sweetest lady ever. She’s encouraging and sociable and she has so many interesting stories to share about her life and her travels. Her and her family are really doing everything to make sure you are comfortable. Living with them was so nourishing.
PS: The mountain view every morning and for sunset is unreal.
I loved being here. One month was too short honestly. I hope you can go and experience it for yourself!
I’m so grateful for everything and all the people I met. See you soon in NYC!
Warmest regards,
