Beschreibung
Hi, we are a fun fit couple from Canada, Derek and Bobbi, pleased to meet you!
Scuba diving, motorcycles, paragliding, water activities, animals, hikes, food, wine, are all some of our passions in life. We are suited for any type of work or house sitting, we love dogs and all animals.
Covid19 has affected everyone in so many ways, but we have learned how to protect ourselves and others around us by being diligent and smart.
We have been Workaway hosts in the past and really enjoyed the experience and with our great work ethic, sense of humour and love for life we have a lot to offer as workawayers.
Now it's our turn to travel and explore the world, meet new people and share our life skills with people who need help.

Boy, did we luck out when Bobbi and Derek showed up!

We really enjoyed our time at this guest house. Lucas, Terry and Ulla are just wonderful honest down to earth people. The work wasn't really work at all, walking dogs, sweeping, mopping, watering plants, etc.
The town of la Cruz is a fantastic little place full of friendly people.
We miss you all.

Derek & Bobbi are a great couple who combine fitness, zest for life and years of experience which meant they were invaluable around the finca. I was able to let them get on with any jobs they noticed that needed doing. They were great with all the animals which was very useful especially when Lola was so poorly. Now thankfully recovered I can say… read more

It was a pleasure to host Derek and Bobbi, even though it was only for one short week. Derek and Bobbi were like family from day one helping us with anything and everything, nothing was to much effort, and we were sad to see them go. Derek and Bobbi were willing to take on anything asked of them, nothing was to much trouble.

Derek and Bobbi are extremely well suited to the work away experience. They are self-starting, competent, experienced, diligent ... you get the picture.
That said that, these guys are no shrinking violets. They are strong and forceful people who leave a significant footprint on all they do.

Staying with Michael in his lovely home was our second workaway experience and we were not disappointed. Michael and George greeted us and made us feel at home. We also appreciated the privacy that went both ways. The accommodations are excellent with ample space to relax, we especially enjoyed the shaded pool area in the heat of the afternoon.… read more
