Beschreibung
Looking for a single/couple for July and August for gardening , housekeeping and working with mangoes.
We are a very well traveled, well opinionated couple that would like to share life experiences at our place (this is NOT a farm) in Kauai Hawaii. Since we have been blessed with a beautiful place we like sharing it with people who want a break from the routine.
We help the church by providing accommodation when it is needed for visiting pastors, speakers, musicians etc.
And many friends and relatives come out here to be recharged.
We like helping the local food bank with fresh fruit when this is available seasonally. You should not be allergic to mangoes or oranges, limes and lemons, pomegranates, bananas, lichees, green leafy vegetables and herbs.
We have interests in vegetarian cooking and growing our own food. We are interested in helping people out with what resources we have available.
Help around the house is currently our top priority, but as the seasons go by that changes. The majority of the tasks are related to house cleaning, maintenance and yard chores. Please contact us if you have any skills in this area.
We like to communicate via email. No Video/Zoom calls please.
THE MINIMUM STAY IS ONE MONTH. It is NOT one week nor 10 days or anything less than 30 days.
Please have the correct necessary documents (aka US citizenship or a green card) to work LEGALLY in the USA . A visitors visa or ESTA does not allow you to work legally in the USA. We don't/cannot sponsor non-US residents to work with us.
Aloha

Vom Workawayer (Henry-philippe) für Host
I loved my stay in Kauai ! Sandra and Walt were the perfect hosts.
Walt is the chillest person on earth and Sandra love the sarcastic humour, At first you can be surprise, if you say something obvious, she will make a joke about it.
I arrived on the 29th and i a writting this as I am about to leave. I Had 13 days with them. The only reason that… read more

Fabian & Sarah were here for almost 3 weeks and we loved having him with us.
Although Sarah is under 20, she is very mature for her age, a warm, genuine person with a great sense of humour. Among other things she helped us a lot with keeping the house and kitchen clean. I wish she lived here permanently is

Our stay at Sandra and Walts place couldn't have been any better. Sandra teached us how to cook amazing indian food and if she would write a cookbook, I would immediately buy it! Walt showed us how to kayak, and from there on we were allowed and very happy to use it everytime we wanted to. While kayaking we got stunning views on the mountains next… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Emily)
Emily and Mac (oops, Matt) were an asset to us during their stay. They pitched in with all aspects of our household... from the kitchen to the yard and everything in between. Their fun, outgoing attitude made our time with them great. Both of them saw things that needed to be accomplished and kept busy. Matt was innovative and creative in finding… read more

Vom Workawayer (Emily) für Host
Our experience working for Sandra and Walt was an absolute pleasure. This was our first workawayer and it was one we will never forget! Myself and Matthew (not Mac) can both say we gained not only experience in cleaning and handy work but we learnt so much about growing amazing fruits, vegetables and herbs, how to cook incredible vegan meals… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Ana & Tadeja)
Ana and Tadeja were such fun people to have around. Despite our 40+ years difference in age (darn, i didn't realise we were soooo old) we had no problem relating to them and having interesting and illuminating conversations about any topic.
Both of them handled everything we threw at them with great competence. They were not afraid to ask… read more

Sandra and Walt are amazing and fair hosts. I had a great time hanging out with them and their pieces of advice helped me to have a full experience of Kawaii. I've learned a lot from them about the island, vegetarian cooking, Indian cuisine gardening and herbs. They are very kind and wise people with a lot to share.

Vom Workawayer (Krisztian & Virag) für Host
Sandra and Walt were very kind and helpful hosts. We had amazing mangoes from the garden. Moreover, we learnt some indian foods and how to make chocolate pudding from avocados. The dogs are lovely, especially Mac :). We had our own room so all in all it was a good first workaway experience. (And you will admit that Sandra is always right ;))

Vom Workawayer (Emily & Sophie) für Host
Where to begin? Walt and Sandra are two of the loveliest and most genuine people we could have hoped to meet on our travels. As our first Workaway experience, they exceeded all of our expectations, were friendly and welcoming, and really made us feel like a part of their family. We set out to only stay for 1 week or so, but loved it so much that… read more

Emily and Sophie rank among the top of the list of the best workawayers we have had. They are not only hard working but also worked efficiently, and did all the tasks that were assigned very well. They cleaned and organized some of our horrendous messes in a wonderful way. Both of them followed our rules, helped out when asked and gave us our… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Laurie & Philippe)
Laurie and Phil were really hard working and responsible in addition to being fun to hang around with. They worked well in tandem and separately. I like that they did not spend their work hours glued to their cell phones texting or surfing the web. In fact more often than naught they left their cell phones in their room. I wish there were more… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Isabelle & Alain)
AUDRIE set the standard not just for Workawayers, but also what a great employee should be like. She followed through well and efficiently with the tasks she was assigned. Once she understood what we wanted she did not have to be supervised nor to be told over and again.
She fit in well with us and the dogs loved her. When she finished her tasks… read more

Sandra and Walt were TOO NICE. I immediately felt like home, despite the distance. They cook very great. Their courtyard is huge and super beautiful and a good smell of fresh fruit perfumes the premises. They help young travelers with good advice. They helped us to visit the island. They informed us of the different tourist attractions. Sandra… read more
