I don't know where to begin. Even with no previous Workaway experience, I can say that Richard is one of the best (If not the best host out there). He was always there for me, whether that meant joking at reception, cooking together or sitting on the rooftop drinking coffee like old ladies. Woaow it was truly amazing! I hope I'll come back soon. 💘
