After having two failed workaway experiences, one before it even started, I became discouraged to continue on. I am so glad I did, Oliver not only restored my faith in this organization, he provided me a home away from home! He was kind enough to take me in while another couple was staying there. I only stayed a short nine days and Oliver was more… read more
