I spent 3 weeks with Lulu and Karl.. The house is wonderful, a real mansion. From there you can go to the beach, small villages, go hiking around the forest and much more. I met amazing people there too. I wish Lulu and Karl all the best and I hope you achieve everything you want. I miss you.

Lulu is an extraordinary woman. She and Karl made us feel at home from the first time, we were allowed to use all the stuff for working and create our meals. the place is amazing, quiet and surrounded by nature, and they took us to discover the region also. we'd love to see you again Lulu! thanks for everything!!

Highly recommend and sorry to see him move on.

Lulu is a fantastic woman. I was only a week, but enough to know the history of this amazing couple. I have greatly enjoyed his sense of humor and his incredible positive energy to realize his dreams.
I would love to know that this incredible project is improving every day.
A big hug to both of you!

I had about a month with Lulu, Karl, Jake and Sergii and it was a really nice experience. Great place in a beautiful spot next to the Brague. Everyone is working hard for making that place more beautiful and I wish I could come back to see the end of this project. Such a nice time. See you. Arnaud

Lulu is a generous, funny and lively woman. She's very patient, kind and optimistic.
She needs different kinds of help, so probably she'll ask for different tasks and you'll not be bored. She's flexible about job timetables. You'll work for 5 hours per day, respecting workaway rules.
She uses to host about 5 workawayers at the same time, and this… read more

What great guy!
Mr Bean (slight look alike ;) ) was such a pleasure to have about. He is pretty handy with appliances and electrics and is quick to take initiative and fit in with everyone.
Was very sorry to see him go and he is welcome back at any time !
