I stayed with Bre, Mike, their awesome children and beautiful animals back in May and it is memories I will cherish forever. They made me feel so welcome and looked after. The work was super fair and always made sure we were happy with our tasks. Bre trusted me to help with the farrier and ride her horse bareback, experiences I really appreciated.

Bre & Mike were so fun to hang out with, meeting their family and friends. We had such a laugh and I think of them often.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Ellie stayed with us for a few weeks in the summer of 2023. She was respectful of our home and kept her space neat and tidy and was willing to help out with clean up after dinner and throughout the day. She loved spending time in the garden and was a very efficient weed picker! Ellie was very helpful with our horses and could be trusted to feed

Our kids absolutely adored Ellie and she was happy to spend time with them playing, riding and jumping on the trampoline.

We wish you all the best wherever your travels take you next!

We so enjoyed having Pauline & Elena stay with our family for two weeks. They each worked very hard weeding our gardens, staining our deck and were happy to do any odd job we gave to them. We enjoyed their delicious cooking, and it was fun to experiment with vegetarian dishes. Our kids adored them and they were always happy to play games with them

Michael was a wonderful addition to our family for two weeks. He worked very hard weeding our gardens, cutting down burdock, moving hay and cleaning out animal pens and shelters. We also left him for two days on his own and he took care of the farm and all of the animals. He was happy to do any tasks we asked and always with a smile on his face.

He was neat and tidy and always respectful of our home. We had a great experience with him and hope he can come and stay with us again. Enjoy your travels!

I was with Bre and Mike for two weeks and it was a wonderful time. They were very trusting and made my stay as comfortable as possible. Even though I was only with Bre and Mike for two weeks I ended up feeling like part of the family. I went camping with them and met their friends and their wonderful family and had a lot of fun and made new
