I have over 40 yrs experience in leisure/tourism management, a wide range of practical, mechanical and boating skills and still remember some of my 1950's grammar school English. I am happy to explore the similarities and roots of the 'Romance' group of languages and I was a professionally qualified youth leader in my twenties.
Arbeit

I need help with some cleaning, painting and/or French language tuition whilst cruising N. European inland waterways for 2 or 3 weeks.

My time with Keith was unexpected and truly valuable. Keith is a great guide — patient, knowledgeable, and a true English gentleman. You'll have the chance to learn basic boat handling and how waterway locks work. If you love stories, you'll enjoy his stories — many of which come from his own long life and personal experience， also sometimes … read more

Vivian is erudite, socially aware and charming company. Very caring she quietly improved my life and nothing was too much trouble. Her inate spatial awareness , acute powers of observation and dexterity made her a very 'quick study' in boat handling and it is difficult to imagine a practical skill she would not master effectively.

Vom Workawayer (Roma) für Host

More than volunteering, it was a vacation with a friend. The trip lasted two weeks and began in Saverne, Nancy, with stops of one or two days between small towns. The work was simple and generally involved cleaning and some boat work, but it was more of a hobby, given the free time you had to explore the city or do other types of sightseeing. In … read more

We had an amazing time with our boat captain! He kept us well-fed, entertained us with great stories, and made every night fun with card games. Exploring different cities by boat was unforgettable—thank you for an incredible experience! Highly recommend.

Merle was a respectful and helpful guest who cheerfully applied herself to a number of tasks my age now makes difficult. It was a shame that poor weather and awaiting spares prevented her from enjoying cruising on the beautiful R. Meuse during her too short visit.

Our time with Keith was amazing.

We got to explore the beautiful Alsace area of France, whilst helping out on the boat.

Keith is very kind and easy going, and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. He is extremely knowledgeable about boating so if you are interested in learning about boating this is the perfect workaway for you.

"Life is a long calm river" and really that's what my life was like with Keith on the boat during these two unforgettable weeks.
Little work, good food, long afternoons of naps and reading and lovely walks on the paths alongside the canal.

Montserrat was a charming and helpful guest who brought 2 'firsts' to my many workaway (host) experiences. As my first vegetarian guest her food was so delicious that after a few days I abandoned the kitchen (this after being the only cook in my household for the 50+ years since I left HM forces). By speaking no English she forced me to exercise … read more

The 15 days passed very quickly. We eat very well. If you are looking to improve your English, Keith is very patient and will teach you many words and expressions. … read more

I spent an amazing 3 weeks on Keith's boat. Throughout the experience I helped with a handful of jobs, and I always had my skills honed with Keith's guidance. The work was never to strenuous and we would always break for lunch around 12. I found the amount of time I visited for (3 weeks) was just right for me, if you enjoy having time to yourself … read more

Llewellyn was a considerate guest, good company, willing and able to do some physically demanding tasks which now, sadly, challenge my physical capacity. His readiness to carry out repeat chores without having to be asked speaks to his consideration for others.

An incredible and beautiful experience! Keith is a very kind person and a really good host. He cooks really well and the most important thing about him to know is that he is a knowledgeable person. He described the history of many places that we went through our journey.

I wish you the best Keith!

Keith was an excellent workaway host. Dennis and I found that cruising on a canal boat while helping Keith as crew along w/boat projects was a dream come true. We too enjoyed his company, finding we shared many interests especially the appreciation of good food and wine at which he was highly skilled.
