Beschreibung
My husband John and I are Australian writers who love to travel. We took the ‘long way’ over to live and work in the UK, backpacking for a year and hiking the Camino de Santiago, before settling into West London for several years where we worked in hospitality. John is a Geologist by trade, and I am a trained journalist and marketer. Together, we love hiking, fossicking antique and charity shops, listening to jazz and taking film and digital photography.
We are experienced Workaways and seasoned travellers, who genuinely love to meet new people and enjoy a good days work.

We stayed at this farm for a few weeks and enjoyed this quintessential Australian coastal property, sitting high amongst bushland looking east over the sea. Bill is a colourful character who warmly hosted us, along with his motley crew of goats, alapacas, geese, chickens, guinea fowl and peacocks. It was physical work and expected for the upkeep… read more

Having John & Amelia stay with us was a delight, they fitted in from day one and got on brilliantly with the other workawayers..
They are a great company, and we had some excellent and lively discussions over dinner,
They are also hard-working, capable and adaptable, and I imagine they would be an asset to any workaway host.

We stayed at Sand for 9 weeks and worked on a huge variety of tasks to support this ambitious renovation and restoration project. From strategy, project management and marketing, to interior design, sourcing antiques, construction and cleaning, we learnt a great deal and had ample opportunity to apply our own skills and talents.

Emilia and John were a great help and great company.
They were both able to think for themselves and be a real asset during their stay.
We had some great conversation and shared good times together.
If your lucky enough to have them contact you your in for a treat.

We stayed with Kevin for a few weeks on his off-grid property in Somerset. He is a great bloke and we had a wonderful time helping maintain the garden, buildings and develop music and arts festivals. He was generous with his time and showed us the surrounding area, including Glastonbury Tor, and we shared good conversation over hearty meals with… read more

I stayed with Nicky for around two weeks on her lovely property in Burgundy, helping maintain her home and garden. As a wonderful host and a great cook, she helped me sample the style, people and cuisine of village life in rural France. Her lively conversation and wit made it a most memorable experience. Thanks again for having me, Nicky!

I spent a month there and really enjoyed living in such a beautiful place. Work was a mix of hotel management and hospitality tasks; housekeeping and cleaning primarily, working in the cafe and bar, and during weddings. The staff accomodation was a highlight, brand new and spacious, waking up to birdsong and amongst nature. For anyone who loves… read more

It was a pleasure to meet Amelia and John.They took good care of my home and my dog Bodhi and cat Bloo. I felt reassured that they were loving to my pets, they kept in touch sending photos and texts of walks they took Bodhi on. It was lovely to see that Amelia and John were out daily exploring the local beauty spots and enjoying the surroundings… read more

We loved our week long stay at Lili’s place. Communication in the lead up was great, Lili made sure we had everything we needed to take the best care of Bodhi and Bloo. She genuinely cared that we had a great time, and we did. We felt right at home. Bodhi is such a wonderful girl, full of personality and so well behaved. We’ll miss her so much,… read more
