We spent around 2 months at Rita's place, and it was a wonderful and joyful cultural exchange and workaway experience! We got the chance to learn about Belgian and Chilean culture, and shared our own culture, like Chinese culture. Also, other workawayers stay there as well, which makes it up to 6 different cultures come together, we cook together… read more

My first workaway couldn't have been better, thanks to Rita.
A great experience, Rita made me feel at home from the first day. After showing me around the place and the garden, I could arrange to give a hand to a large range of tasks from gardening, fruit picking or painting to animal caring with chicken and her pets. The house and the garden are… read more

Rita mi ha dato il benvenuto nella sua casa quando ancora ero in italia, indecisa se partire o no, piena di dubbi dati dal fatto che fossimo in pandemia.
Il suo benvenuto e le poche parole che ci siamo scambiate su WhstdApp erano quelle giuste: mi hanno dato la sicurezza che cercavo: devo dire gazie a lei se sono partita!!!
Questo per dirvi che… read more

I really spent a good time at Rita's house, where I could help her: picking figs, doing figs' jam, grape juice, feeding chickens. Rita is a very interesting person, her life story has been an inspiration for me. She also has a great sense of humor :) I had the pleasure to meet her daughter and some of her familiars too around an asado. I send a… read more

I spend just a few days at Rita's mid-November and it was a very nice time on her beautiful property with so many fruit trees, super cute dogs and a cute cat Minette. Rita even has a pool so it was very pleasant to have a swim in the late afternoons after really warm days. I was helping on various things to do in the house and garden sheds. I was… read more

Cómo escribimos en su libro personal de visitas, fue un placer compartir una semana en la casa de Rita! Ella es súper atenta, amable y graciosa. Le cuesta delegar un poco las tareas por qué te hace sentir parte de la familia en todo momento, por eso como voluntario es una buena oportunidad para tomar iniciativa y proponer ideas de trabajo para… read more

Our experience in Rita’s house was awesome. She’s really nice, at the first she didn’t have place for a long time stay (because she had already 5 workawayers), but she accepted to receive us for a couple of days.
We were receiving really well, with food and a bed. We help her to clean the swimming pool and we cooked.
We felt really free in her… read more
