Stayed with us for two weeks and she was great to have as a Workaway.
She fitted in perfectly and worked very hard and well. She was a pleasure to host and would recommend her.
She was enthusiastic and hardworking.
She didn't mind whatever tasks were asked of her and she brought her own ideas and initiatives to the project
Hopefully she will return or visit us in Ireland
