We will return on Workaway life in May 😊🚐
Unser nächstes Reiseziel:
Catalonia, Spain - von Aug 2023 bis Dez 2024 Alle anzeigenBeschreibung
Hello,
We are Joanna & Tomek, a couple from Poland. Our family is bigger but our daughter and son are far away from home, living their own lives. Tomek works as an English teacher and I work at university library. We are both thinking about some changes in our life and moving away, somewhere closer to nature. That’s the reason why we’d like to spend next year in Catalonia with Workaway, in places where permaculture gardens or farms with animals are. We’d love to enjoy the places, being with people, sharing the work, meals and experience.
We were already 3 years ago in Spain for 4 months as workawayers. At that time we helped in running the house, gardening and looking after animals. You can find our hosts’ opinions here on the Workaway website. We were very happy in all these places. That is why we want to repeat the experience this year. If you are curious about our Workaway adventure in Spain so far, check out our Instagram account @van_del_sol.
Who we are and what we are like.
- we love to travel. In the past we used to hitch-hike together across Europe, then we travelled with our children and friends as a „big family”, and now we enjoy our own company. We have been almost all over Europe and in Asia we’ve visited Thailand and Malaysia.
Spain is very special for us – we’ve got close friends in Catalonia and our daughter lives in Granada. We’ve travelled to Spain several times, toured it and know such places as Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Granada or Cadiz, but the place where we left our heart is Cabo de Gata 😊 We travel by our Ford Focus estate and often sleep at the back or just on the beach.
- we feel happiest staying close to nature. We try to avoid touristy places and prefer bird songs to city hustle & bustle. Forest and beach walks, admiring views is what we appreciate the most.
- music is very important to us . We don’t play any instruments, but home stereo is essential at our home 😊 Reggae is our first love (for ten years Tomek used to host a reggae show on the local radio) but we enjoy various genres, including ethnic music from all corners of the world
- Tomek is a home gardener. You can see his small balcony garden in the photos. He likes to discover new plants everywhere we travel and takes them to grow at home
- I’m good at planning and organizing . I’m also sociable, outgoing and love doing things together with people
- I’m interested in art – I used to teach history of art at secondary school. Both of us are keen on books, movies, culture and cooking (world cuisine).Tomek is better at cooking :)
It’s our second experience with Workaway and we hope again to have a good time and be helpful to people and places we visit.
¡Hola!
Somos Joanna y Tomek, una pareja de Polonia. Nuestra familia es más grande, pero nuestros hijos están lejos de casa viviendo sus propias vidas. Tomek trabaja como profesor de inglés, y yo soy bibliotecaria. Ambos estamos pensando en hacer algunos cambios en nuestra vida, en mudarnos cerca de la naturaleza. Por esto, nos gustaría pasar el próximo ańo en Cataluña con Workaway en granjas con animales o algunas plantaciones. Nos encantaría disfrutar de lugares, estando rodeados de gente, compartiendo trabajo, experiencias y comidas. Ya estuvimos hace 3 años en España durante 4 meses como workawayers. En ese momento, ayudábamos en el funcionamiento de la casa, en el jardín y en el cuidado de los animales. Podeis encontrar comentarios de nuestros anfitriones aquí en el sitio web de Workaway. Si tienes curiosidad por nuestra aventura Workaway en España hasta ahora, echa un vistazo a nuestra cuenta de Instagram @van_del_sol.
Quienes somos y como somos nosotros.
Nos encanta viajar. En el pasado viajábamos por Europa haciendo autostop, luego empezamos a viajar con nuestros hijos y amigos como una “familia grande”, y ahora disfrutamos de viajes solo los dos. Hemos visto Europa casi entera, y en Asia visitamos Tailandia y Malasia.
España es muy especial para nosotros – tenemos amigos muy cercanos en Cataluña, y nuestra hija vive en Granada. Hemos viajado a España varias veces, visitando ciudades tales como Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Granada o Cadiz, pero nuestros corazones los dejamos en Cabo de Gata Viajamos en nuestro Ford Focus ranchera y dormimos o en su maletero o simplemente en la playa).
Cerca de la naturaleza es donde nos sentimos verdaderamente felices. Intentamos evitar sitios turísticos y preferimos el canto de los pájaros a ruido de las ciudades. Largos paseos por la playa o en el bosque, admirar las vistas preciosas, es lo que nos encanta.
La música es muy importante para nosotros. No tocamos ningún instrumento, pero un buen equipo de música es imprescindible en nuestra casa. El Reggae es nuestro primer amor (durante 10 años Tomek tenía su programa de radio en una emisora local) pero también nos gustan otros géneros, incluso música étnica de todos los rincones del mundo.
Tomek es “jardinero casero”. Podéis ver su pequeño jardín en nuestro balcón en las fotos. Le encanta descubrir nuevas plantas durante nuestros viajes, y luego traerlas para plantar en casa.
Yo soy muy buena en organizar y planificar cosas. Además, soy una persona sociable, extrovertida, y me encanta hacer cosas junto con otras personas.
Me interesa mucho el arte – antes daba clases de historia del arte en bachillerato. Ambos estamos enganchados a los libros, cine, cultura en general y cocina (mundial). No obstante Tomek es mejor cocinero que yo.
Es nuestra segundaa experiencia con Workaway y esperamos tambien pasarlo bien y servir de ayuda a la gente que vamos a visitar.Interessengebiete

We spent a whole month at de les Idees and it was so good that we would love to stay longer! This place enchanted us from the first moments of our stay. It's hard to describe in a few words why it was so difficult to leave the magical forest, but we'll try.

Desde luego, ha sido una gran experiencia y espero que para ellos hayan sentido igual.
We have been work-awaying for Liz and Alan for the second time and it was as wonderful as always!
We were so happy surrounded by the nature with a soothing view on olive trees and the woods. For me (Joanna) it was so great to start every day with petting and feeding the animals. Tomek was happy with garden work. We enjoyed our time… read more
During that time they worked really, really hard, doing over and above what was expected of them, spending much of their time in vegetable garden, weeding, planting and harvesting vegetables. The vegetable garden has never looked so good and organised as it does now!
Tomak also helped Andrew to… read more
