I stayed with Kim for 6 days and I had a wonderful time! The work I did mainly consisted of helping in the garden and with household chores and cleaning. The communication with Kim worked very well and she made sure I had enough time to explore Auckland and even took me on a trip to the Waitakere Ranges, which I really enjoyed. Overall this was a

Hope to see you again soon!

I stayed with Kim for about a week and a half, and it was an absolutely lovely time! The work tasks were straightforward, and Kim is a joy to be around and work with! She went out of her way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable, showed me some cool places in the area that I wouldn't have otherwise seen, and even picked me up from the airport!

Becca and Kendra arrived as arranged and I enjoyed the conversations we had on a wide variety of topics - they were very clear on communication and did some great work on some maintenance and gardening. They were careful to check how I did things and showed consideration for me. I was working for quite a lot of the time they were here but they

Kim was a lovely host - she clearly communicated the tasks she was looking for help with and was considerate of our space and time in Auckland. We were able to work at our own pace and still had time to explore the city and some of Kim's recommendations for nearby cafes. She was also great company!

My stay at Kim's couldn't have been much better. It was my first workaway experience ever and Kim made sure it was the best I could wish for.
She is a really nice person with a big heart (especially for ducks ;)) and lots of interesting and fun stories to share.
Concerning the tasks, there was always a clear communication and they weren't too hard

All in all, it really seemed to be important to her that I could make the best out of my stay here in Auckland, thank you so much for that Kim :))
I hope to see you sometime again ^^You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Had a great exchange with Hollie - enthusiastic and hard working - willing to give things a go and good a following instructions independently. Hollie is full of positive energy and brightens a place up when she arrives. We had lots of good chats and laughs - and individual time. She’s self reliant , cooks some good vegan recipes, fitted in easily

I had a great time staying with Kim, she is a really kind and generous person. The work was always relaxed and at my own pace and there's always good food and ingredients to cook with in the kitchen. Plus all the fresh kale you could ever want in the garden... We even did some of the gardening together which was really nice. Kim is a really
