Randy and Chris were really nice people. Both of them were really curious and excited to learn about about where I'm from, my culture and my background, especially Randy. The work was also easy and they show me around and took me out to dinner one time as well. Food are taken care of, but Randy cooks a lot and he's a great chef. Loved their

What can we say... Cape May was so beautiful during the summer and Chris and Randy were the most wonderful family we could ever met.
From the beginning we felt like it was our home; they let us move around the house and take whatever we needed. The work was not so hard: some gardening, cleaning Randy's boat and helping with the canning (now we

In only one week we learnt a lot about many different things and experienced a lot of long-lasting memories: watching dolphines while we learnt how to drive Randy's boat, chatting and laughing in a local beer brewery, playing fun board games, the ride with the their camper van "Butter bean"... As Chris said: "sometimes you have to screenshot a moment you're living so you can remember it forever".
We don't know where (Spain, Cape May or somewhere else) but we'll meet again, that's for sure!
Thanks for all the memories, we wish you all the best, Chris and Randy <3

Our week and a half stay with Chris and Randy was amazing. From the moment we stepped foot in the door they made us feel right at home. The food was incredible and the company was even better. The work load was light and they were adamant that we had lots of time to explore and hang out in Cape May! We loved relaxing in the evenings playing games

Randy and Chris are a wonderful couple in so many ways! They are truly transparent and want you to feel at home in their home. We could not have had a better experience for our first workaway. We had such an enjoyable time working a long side Randy and Chris in their garden, yard, kitchen, and the house. They were so great about showing us the

They even told us to come a day early, to avoid a tropical storm that may have delayed us otherwise. After just a short time we feel we have new friends! :-) We can not thank you enough Randy and Chris for such a great experience and opening your home to us! We hope to meet again!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I only stayed for a week with Chris and Randy and I had a great time! If you want something laid back with honest and down to earth people this is your place. I took the train to Absecon where they picked me up, which I greatly appreciate. They were very inviting but also gave me the space I needed. It was my first time seeing the Atlantic Ocean

I also enjoyed discussing the joys and challenges of travel as well as sharing different travel tips and tricks. The work was minimal and mostly took place in the garden/yard which was great. Definitely one of my more memorable workaways and a place you should check out!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

There are not enough good words to describe our time with Joel and Verena!! Right from the start, it was so comfortable! We all felt like we had known each other forever! They are warm and kind, and hard workers. They were up for anything we threw at them. Around here we don't have a set list of things for our workawayers, things just kind of

We cooked together, took long walks and bike rides together, played lots of board games and our conversations were inspiring! After hearing about some of their travels, my husband and I ended planning a trip based on some of their adventures:) We have enjoyed staying in contact with them since they left here. I am afraid they are stuck with us for life! We feel honored to consider Joel and Verena family now. If you are fortunate enough to scoop up these two, you will be forever grateful! The world could use more like them! We wish them safe and happy travels and look forward to seeing them soon!

It took us a while to write feedback on workaway because this place was more than just an ordinary workaway for us. We had such a wonderful time with Chris & Randy that even now, a few weeks later, we talk about it all the time and remember it so fondly. Chris and Randy are the most generous and great-hearted people. They made us feel like a part

We are extremely grateful for the awesome time and that we gained live long friends. Thank you for opening your house and heart, Chris and Randy. We will come back for sure and hope we can show you Austria soon! You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Amira stayed with us in August 2016 and quickly became part of our family! She is warm and kind and a dilegent worker! She fit right in... into our garden, into our vegetarian household, into our neighborhood and most of all into our hearts! Amira is quiet and soft spoken. She has a tender heart and a strong ethical character. She was happy to

If you have pets, I can assure you, Amira will lavish them will love and affection:) Any task set before her was met with willingness and competency! I have only met Tim through skype, but know that he must be a wonderful young man to have captured the heart of Amira! I look forward to their time back with us next fall!!

Daniela stayed with us during a very busy time for us. We were working to get our house ready to rent out while we would travel. There was a lot to be done and Daniela jumped right in! From yard work to cleaning out closets, even to volunteering at a school concert! Everyone loved her! We were very lucky to be able to celebrate her 21st birthday

I had a great stay with this family! They are very warm and interested in other cultures. They will treat you as part of their family and I felt really comfortable! If you stay with this family you will meet also a lot of interesting and kind people because the family's friends are just wonderful!
They also live in a beautiful area with an

In conclusion my stay was like the last sunrise I saw there, just wonderful!! :)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Chris, Randy, Randi, and Ben..
They are amazing people. Open-minded, open-hearted and full of enthusiasm for life. The first night I arrived, I explained the challenges of being a volunteer. Where do you fit into the family-- guest/volunteer/daughter/worker? Sometimes the line is blurred. Chris laughed and admitted that I would definitely become

I can't say enough about the wonders of this family. They have reminded me of the value of family! I have spent about a month and have connected well with nearly every person in the community of the street where they live. Visit Chris and family-- they are INCREDIBLE. Oh, and have convinced me to return in the fall. Love you guys!!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Staying with Chris and her family was Amazing! They are warm, welcoming and have a large variety of interests. Cape May is also a beautiful seaside town with even more beautiful residence; and trust me you'll meet may of them! I left here not wanting to leave and was so tempted to stay with them for the whole summer. I only stayed for three weeks
