Sam was great to have here on the homestead and brought some great energy and a positive spirit! She was always willing to jump into projects, helped make some good improvements to the living space, and was really adaptable to different tasks and schedules as they came up.

Vom Workawayer (Nico) für Host
Joel was a wonderful host - he has a cool space for workawayers , and it was very much the perfect travel experience (think meeting new, interesting people, elvis themed trailers, and an incredible view of the flat irons/rocky mountain range) and generally everything you want from a cool, unconventional trip! Was fun to do gardening or house jobs
… read more for joel, and he explains what he wants but is happy to answer Q's and wont leave you in the dark, but also will help make you feel comfortable and is approachable if you need anything! He was very kind to me and also trusted me, glad to have made new connections and memories. Boulder was so easy to get around, wonderful place and Joel also has the BEST CAT IN THE WORLD, who is friendly and cuddly and I will miss her sooo much! Five stars goes to Perches the cat <3
Thanks again for evertything Joel, hopefully paths will cross again one day :):):)Vom Host für Workawayer (Nico)
It was really great having Nico at the homestead and she was definitely a multi-position player.

In addition to the great assistance with everything, she's very personable and has some great travel/life experiences. I look forward to our paths crossing again as we each move about the world!
Vom Host für Workawayer (Hunter)
Hunter had a brief, though really productive stay here and I appreciate his know-how and eagerness to work on a variety of tasks. I'll confess that he came at a time where I didn't have a super well-organized list of tasks, though we were both able to adapt and figure out a game plan (including some time for him to explore the local nature and

I felt really confident in Hunter working well with everyone and we were able to coordinate remotely on a few small projects as well. I wish I hadn't been pulled in so many directions during his stay and we could connect more on a personal level, share some music, etc. though maybe at a future point in time and I'd recommend having him as a guest at other Workaway places too.Feedback

River's stay here was short but sweet. We both had some plans/timing that were up in the air, though were able to communicate adapt to get things to line up. She was eager to jump in on a whole variety of tasks and definitely has a great aptitude for figuring new things out (not just a one-trick pony with the chainsaw!), plus good forethought

The only questionable thing I can comment on is she can be a little overzealous about Pauly Shore movies, though that's generally easy enough to work around in day-to-day life ;-)
Vom Host für Workawayer (Megan)
it was fantastic to have Meg at the house and, even over just a short time, there was a great exchange of experiences, stories, and cooperation. I have officially labelled her as the "Designated Dancer" and I think that captures her positive, outgoing energy and vibe. I feel like she really tapped in to the Boulder scene and we had a great mix of

She also took the initiative to make some great food with the fall harvest of garden veggies, decorate the Workaway space, and just generally spread good karma all around. I look forward to when our paths cross again next...

Upon returning home I have been able to begin to see the imprint that this stay has left on me. I have come back feeling confident, inspired and Open to the Adventures of life.
As it was my first Workaway, I was shy and a little nervous - to be staying at someone's home, and to be working alongside them on something I had very little knowledge of.

I found such Peace working in the garden, and excitement in learning new skills. I got to use an Angle grinder and make some delicious Tomatio Salsa. Meanwhile, exploring Boulder by Bicycle I was inspired by the gardens I rode past and the music events that were seemingly endless. Thank you Joel, for this experience. I will always treasure my time there with you, and especially Perches! And thank you for your patience and imparting of knowledge. I'll be sure to come back. Until then, keep building your dreams, remaining humble and kind. As we say " Hambagahle" my friend
Vom Host für Workawayer (Vladimir & Nikolina)
Vladimir was a fantastic guest with a very interesting/international background and a ton of great experience. While he was only here for about 10 days (and sans Nikolina who I didn't get the pleasure of meeting) we got an amazing amount of things done - that includes projects around the homestead here as well as getting in some great music,
… read more meditation, and other outdoor adventures in the area. In addition to tackling solo projects, Vladimir always had good ideas to contribute when we worked in tandem and _I_ needed some supervision. We have still gotten together a number of times in town after he went on to stay with friends/relatives and he has a great perspective on life, travel, and a real knack for making connections and integrating with the community. I look forward to his next return to the area and definitely recommend him for any other Workaway stays!

Joel was an amazing host with quite some history and interesting background and a first person that I met that set his foot on Antarctica.
Wanderer, explorer and a sailor who set his anchor currently in beautiful Boulder. I had a pleasure to have many talks with him, to hear many stories from his adventures and to meet his roommates and couple of

A man with many ideas and projects in his mind, that he wants to make it happen and transform his place into self sustaining oasis and homestead. I was able to be part of few of those projects and learn much along the way, especially about solar system, work with big flagstones, build rails and shelving system in his backyard and do various other project around the house.
In free time his roommate Jeff took me to few hiking's around the area and Joel took me to few live music events where I need to mention Gold Hill as one of the hidden gems nestled in the mountains and one of the highlights of my stay. We also went to a Trivia night, that was my first event of that kind and we won 3rd place... :)
Had a great time with Joel and will come back to check on his projects and progress next time I am in Boulder area!
Thank you for everything!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Grace)
Grace was a fantastic Workaway guest whose talents and abilities abound!
She was ever eager to lend a hand in the garden or dive right into the wide variety of other different building and improvement projects at the homestead. Even when there was no game plan she always found some clever organizing or other useful tasks, making it one of the most

Don't hesitate to invite Grace for a stay at your place...though when you're done please send her back this way - we miss her!!
Vom Workawayer (Phillip) für Host
Joel was a good host! The work was easy going enough despite the heat, mostly moved flagstones around and assisted with other miscellaneous tasks. The accommodations were good, we went to costco and got food. The room was comfortable in the night and WiFi was good. The cat Perches was such a sweetheart.

Nick is a fun and knowledgeable guy and was a great guest to have. He really jumped in to help with a variety of things and had particularly good insight about the garden and plants. The way it worked out he stayed mostly in his van (so that was very low impact) but he also was super-respectful and clean inside and outside the house. Additionally,

We also connected around music, the farmer's market, etc. Would be great to have him back and I would encourage you to have him stay at your place too!

Had a great time with Joel and exploring boulder. Flexible work schedule, fun nights checking out the Boulder sights (first night winning trivia is a highlight).

I had the most wonderful stay with Joel and crew for about 3 weeks this summer. His space is as described, and came with a spectacular view!

Kristin's stay at the house was fantastic! She had a (real-world) work situation that was very flexible and allowed her to contribute to many of the different projects.

Vom Workawayer (Rachel) für Host
I had the most wonderful time in Boulder with Joel, his roommates, Matador (pup), and Perches (cat). We were both new to the platform as hosts/ workawayers, but I could not have asked for a better experience. The work load was very fair and doable, and I enjoyed learning from Joel about his implemented irrigation systems, garden, solar projects,
… read more and various other hands-on tasks. I stayed for the better portion of a month, and was able to explore the countless sights, hikes, community events, and festivals before/ after working. The location was also great, as the public transportation system in Boulder got me everywhere I needed to go, and was located conveniently nearby. If you're eager to learn, are willing to say yes to invitations, and love being outside, this is the perfect Workaway experience/ host/ location for you. I hope to visit again in the future, and would highly recommend sending Joel a message if you're considering trying out/ expanding your Workaway experience.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Rachel was a great Workaway guest! I think it was the first stay for both of us, yet were able to communicate and coordinate everything even as we learned the ropes of the platform.

Sad to see her go, though we spoke of a return visit in the future so fingers crossed. If she's in your area, scoop her up for a stay!
