Not too late to say how much we appreciated Naveen who spent the month of August with us. Naveen is an indian student learning in France. He is very kind, polite and always ready to help. We learnt a lot with him about indian culture and specially tamoul culture. We wish him good luck for his studies

This was my first Workaway experience and I enjoyed it immensely. I stayed with Michel for three and a half weeks and I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a host to any workawayer!

The work involved helping Michel to prepare the guest rooms. This wasn't difficult and rarely took longer than 1-2 hours per day. Often we'd finish by late morning… read more
