Description
I am Victoria, an ESL teacher leading a quiet life and enjoying nature, crafts and photography. I am looking forward to my retirement age and in the meanwhile I could really do with some help in my house and cabin in the country.
If you are a tidy, orderly person who doesn't mind cleaning and doing a bit of maintenance, gardening, farming...I'd be glad to welcome you home.
In return I could help you with your Spanish, or your English!
I live with my dog, Lía and two cats. Pippo and Leo.

It was nice having Malte at home. He is a friendly person and a great converser and fun to be with. He helped me paint the cabin which now looks nice and cozy. Thank you, Malte. I hope to see you around some day soon!!!

I absolutely enjoyed my week with Victoria. She is a very open, warm, energetic, cheerful, and accommodating person. She and her friend took me to explore different sites and parts of Extremadura and made me feel at home. The work was fair and entertaining, I loved staying in the caravan at the beautiful campo and spending time with her dog Lia… read more

Siri is a sweet girl but also an intelligent responsable person and a thorough worker. She is really mature for her age and easy to get on with. She was patient and loving with Lia, Flora and Pipo so I fully recommend her as a top workawayer!!!

Victoria was so nice, caring and genuine, a great introduction to workaway. I spent the majority of my time at the finca in a lovely cherry tree lined valley. Victoria is a great teacher who was very patient helping me with my Spanish, I learnt quite a bit. Hopefully I'll return in the future.

I had such a lovely time with Victoria and Lía! Victoria is very warm and hospitable. She made me feel at home instantly. I really enjoyed taking Lía on walks through beautiful Plasencia. There’s so much to see and explore right from her house in town. It was a pleasure to help her prepare meals/ do some general house cleaning tasks. We went to… read more

Although my operation and the constant rain didn't let us do what we had meant to do in the veggie garden, I really enjoyed having Parker home. She is sweet and caring and her lemon sponge just superb!!! I hope she keeps her promise to return one day ;)

What a wonderful time I had with Victoria and Lia. She is very caring, lovely and made amazing meals. I spent only 9 days there but the work is very nice, I really wish I stayed longer to work more on this amazing finca project but will definitely go back. Victoria also showed me around and we went for a day trip which was amazing.

Thank you for… read more

Kristina is a fantastic woman and easy to get along with so it was a great experience to have her home. (For even more ravishing references ask Lía, my dog). The negative aspect of her stay is that it was too short so I really hope she makes up for it soon enough.

I had an amazing two weeks with Victoria and Lia. Victoria was very kind to me and cooked excellent food. The place is incredible, a green corner lost in beautiful mountains. The work done was all very interesting and I enjoyed doing it. A very nice experience with great people. If you have the opportunity to go there, you will not regret it.

Robin is a nice person. friendly, helpful and easy to get on with. He has spent over two weeks at home and although he just came to work on the green roof, he also did all sort of things: some wall building, tree pruning... Having him was a good experience!

I spend a very nice stay in Plasencia with Victoria and Lia! Plasencia is a very nice little city and the Victoria's country house is very peaceful with amazing landscapes. There is a lot of work, you never get bored. Moreover, she is very benevolent and makes you feel comfortable and welcome. We do not lack anything, Victoria is a great cooker !… read more

Amandine has been at home for two weeks and has been able to get my organic vegetable garden dream rolling!!! I couldn't have done it at all without her help. She is hardworking and responsible and although she's just 21 she is really mature for her age. She was really loving towards my dog, Lia who already misses her so much...
