Vom Host für Workawayer (Riccardo)

I was delighted to host Riccardo ! He is very charming and a great conversationalist. He was a great help to me about the house and farm and a skillful cook. I hope he will return when the weather is better. Highly recommended.

I stayed at Colin’s farm for two weeks; it was a nice time. He is an interesting and welcoming person. On the farm, there are a lot of different tasks, and he can teach you many things, especially in farming. I stayed probably not in the best season for that (November), but he always has something to do (e.g., chop the wood, cook). He is also a… read more

I spent most of my time there working on various building projects which for me is always fun.

I spent more than a month in Alli's and Colin's farm and it was wonderful. I learned a lot and worked very comfortable. I got the opportunity to sail, learn about plants, animals and some building. They are very kind and generous with you. I really appreciate all you did for me. Rob and Caroline were fantastic too. Thanks a million.

Staying with Allison, Colin and all the human and animal family was a blessing. They welcomed me with kindness and warmth. I spent 10 days helping in the farm, chatting a lot, singing, cooking and having fantastic walks on the surroundings that really really deserve. Great hug to all of you!!
