Beschreibung
After completing over three years of service as an U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in Moldova in September 2016, I taught physics and mathematics at an international school in Albania. During 2017, I explored Italy, Greece, Moldova, France, Czech Republic, England, Wisconsin, and Baja California. In 2018, I checked out the north Georgia (US) mountains, Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Poland, Charleston (SC), and Santa Barbara, CA.

Thank you Maria for a great Workaway experience. It was a pleasure to help you tackle a garage full of stuff during my one week stay.

In August 2018, I took part in the course here which is about 2 1/2 hours west of Madrid at about 300 m higher elevation, which makes it a bit cooler than Madrid. I did meet some amazing Spaniards that were motivated to improve their English conversational skills. The topics were varied and enlightening.

Lynn was a great workawayer. She is efficient, hardworking and adaptable. Her hard work completely rejuvenated my bathroom and transformed the chaotic cupboards and kitchen into lovely well organised spaces. I did have to frequently remind her to take a break! I thoroughly recommend her to any workaway host.

The weather was sometimes rainy and they live near a stream, so the mosquitos were a bit of a problem. However, Liliana’s cooking more than made up for that. At the end of my week, we visited Sighisoara and the Transylvania Horse… read more
