Ian is an amazing host! He makes you feel at home as soon as you meet him, he really tries to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible and there's a good mood in the house all the time. Both the food and the house are great! This is the perfect workaway experience.

Highly and strongly recommended, Charlie is the person you want to have around at any time. He is knowledgable, focused, understanding and skilled. Above all, he is a good friend.
I trusted Charlie from the second I met him. He also seems to find his way through any situation and is a highly independent guy. I can vouch for him whole heartedly.

It's been an excellent workawaying experience. Ian and me arranged my staying for 2 weeks at first and I ended up staying for 3 months. He is an open-minded fun guy, always willing to talk over any situation. I highly recommend workawaying with him, he is really nice as a host and much better as a friend. Hope to see you again dude!

It has been an exceptional experience, so much so that I have extended my stay by 3 months. We eat well, work at the house, sail in the weekends, climb and a just kick back in the evenings. I have even trekked around the island of Gozo with Ian and Jacob. A perfect life/work/social/adventure balance! highly recommended.

What an amazing host! Ian makes you feel at home instantly. He is
very positive, friendly and easy-going and attracts like-minded work awayers so it is a great environment to be in. The chiseling is very addictive and is now one of my favourite past times!
