I had a wonderful time at Emile & Emilia's family home. They were warm, inviting, and really went the extra mile to accommodate my late night arrival after my flight was delayed. We had great conversations over dinner and I loved the pre help Qi gong sessions we would participate in. Highly recommend these hosts to anyone.
Cheers!

Very good, the host family is very friendly and helps with everything. If you need something, you just need to ask. I mention this because you work to build something with their tools, and one family can't have professional tools. But if you know how to do this type of job, there isn't too much of a problem.
Emelia and Emil are very beautiful

More than good hosts, they are good people, I will always be grateful for all the help they gave me. They helped me with my goals and I learned English with them. They are always available to chat and develop ideas. The remodeling project is very interesting and I was able to learn about many materials that are not used in my country. In short,

We are been happy to live in the house of Emile and Emelia.
We had a great time. Emile and Emelia are very hospitable. They helped my son get into an excellent school and the basketball team.
I had a lot of interesting house renovation work.
The guys cook delicious food. They are excellent conversationalists.
We will be waiting for their family

Where to begin? First let it be said that we simply had the most wonderful time in Ireland thanks to this wonderful family.
Emile, Emelia, Ramona and Rosaleen are such beautiful, kind, smart and funny people that we enjoyed every moment we spent with them. We felt more than welcome from the start. Their house and the land around it are beyond
… read more beautiful. We lived in a small, cozy „cloud cottage „ and could use everything in the house. In this way we had some privacy and everything that we needed. We also got to know some friends and family of Emile and Emelia and felt as included as possible.
It was a also a great plessure to meet Ashy and Jourandir and their workaways at the main house. The frequent BBQs and other get-togethers were really fun and enriched our time there.
The work we did for Emile and Emelia was fun, diverse and balanced in it‘s intesity. They alwasy made sure that we felt good about our working situation and let us choose our tasks when possible. The whole living and food situation felt very natural and relaxed wich we were really happy about. We never missed a thing.
All in all We can only thank our wonderful hosts for this experience and recommend them to any other workawayer. We would go back in a heart beat.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Time just wasn't our friend. Oh how I would have loved it, to spent more than just ten days at your place. You two are amazing people and made me feel home from the very first second. In the two days I actually met your daughters, I already took them to my heart. Thanks for the great talks the delicious meals and for the chance to use the skills I

Franzi has been a wonderful influence on our family. She is a no-nonsense, sincere, generous, kind hearted person who is extremely efficient and quick to apply herself to all practical jobs. She was brilliant helping us to establish a better routine, create a more orderly atmosphere and has had a lasting impact on our children. She was always

Over the two months, Franzi really opened up and became part of our family - always good discussion and lovely, sparkly laughter at some of the more unpredictable happenings! She is highly independent and really good at being on her own. We wish her the brightest future.

Claire is a spirited, hardworking person who has great intuition and sensitivity. She quickly embraced our family and way of life, overcoming all adversity with a great sense of humour. Claire was keen to take on all challenges and was brilliant with my two girls. She was always proactive with creative ideas and, most importantly, loving and kind.

I spent two lovely months with this young and fun couple, and their two wonderful girls. it was more a human experience than a job, emelia took care of me like her younger sister, and I had a real complicity with Ramona and Rosaleen ! I enjoyed a lot talks with Emile and Emelia in the evenings, and they are definitely great cook, be sure to eat

I was always happy to help and my job was different every day. I'm really glad to have met kind and generous people, I received a lot of love, and it was like leaving home again when I left !You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Six weeks can seem quite a long time to be away from home, and they probably are, but my experience flew by without me even noticing. Emelia and her family made me immediately feel like Ireland WAS my home. They are young, easy-going and utterly hilarious, the girls are full of energy but all the time spent with them paid off: by the end of the
… read more six weeks they made me feel like a big sister and playing with them was only a pleasure. I never had one single problem with Emelia and Emile: they are flexible and were always willing to give me a lift to the nearest city or to the bus stop, not to mention that they always gave me my spare time during the day and on the week-end, giving me the chance to visit some beautiful parts of Ireland. Every single person I have met among friends and relatives (and I've met quite a few!) was nice and kind to me, wich allowded me to improve my english even more by talking to them.
Being a workawayer for this family felt more like a privilege than a duty, and I hope for your next girl to feel as I feel now: part of a wonderful irish/english family and, most of all, thankful. You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Meeting Claudia has been a wonderful experience for all our family. She proved to be open-minded, warm, clever, competent, independent, experimental, free-spirited; she really became part of our family and we loved having her around at all times. Our children became very close to her and they had real fun together. Claudia is a great cook
