Aaron is a very welcoming host. I stayed in his RV which was very comfortable and modern.

We stayed with Aaron for almost a week and it was amazing. There was another couple staying with him at the time and we had a really relaxing time together with us all. We went on some crazy beautifull hikes, went out to dinner and had some nice meals at home and we went to a super cool open mic somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It was

Aaron was a super relaxed guy, it seems like he got life all figured out. He set himself up with a super relaxed and adventurous lifestyle where he can do unlimited fun things, and I'm very jealous of that, and was very glad to get an insight in it.
During our stay we slept in a huge RV that was bigger than our Amsterdam apartment, and this was defenitely a once in a lifetime experience for us.
Thank you for everything Aaron, we hope to see you soon in Amsterdam. And say hi to Samantha!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Aaron is an excellent host! I’ll always be grateful for the short time that I’ve spent in his place with him, his friends and Samantha, the sweet cat.

Aaron's house in Joshua Tree was my first experience of workaway and I was totally spoiled! I had the most incredible time here, Aaron is the kindest guy with so many interesting stories to tell. He is so welcoming and laid back, the RV we stayed in was super comfortable and spacious and he made sure we were comfortable and warm enough in there.

I had wanted to go to slab city when planning my trip but decided it was too far and I didn't have enough time, then one day Aaron said we were going! And I had my birthday there and he wanted to make it a memorable day so we hiked a volcano. Such a special time and I will never forget it. Every day was an adventure.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Raquel is an excellent WorkAwayer!!

What started off as a one month stay turned into 2.5 months with Aaron and Samantha in the magical desert, which I completely fell in love with. We met through CS at his place in Seattle in October and he saw right away that Samantha and I had a connection, so he invited me to watch over her and his place so that he could travel and explore the

I am extremely thankful for Aaron's hospitality, generosity, flexibility, light-hearted nature, all the great moments we shared, all the great hikes we went on especially when we got caught in the snow storm!, his calm and patient nature, and for having a desert sanctuary right when I needed it. I consider Aaron my friend for life. I miss hanging out with you two and it will be great to cross paths again some day! Much love to you both
Left by host for Workawayer (Jessica)
Jessica came and stayed at my Joshua Tree house for a while in the Spring. She was a great Workawayer. Not only did she find cool stuff to do around town that I didn't know about but she took great care of my kitty while I was traveling. I highly recommend her for anything that you may need help with..........enjoy your travels down south Jess!
Alexandra is a fantastic human with lots to offer anyone hosting her. She stayed with me for a week and got things done! Alexandra it was great meeting you! Please do keep in touch.....hope to see you again in the future!!
Aaron's hospitality is off the charts!
I stayed for a week and really appreciated the way he opened up his home. It was the perfect space for me to relax and get organized, be useful with yard work/cleaning/assisting Aaron with his upcoming move to the desert, and to connect with fellow travelers.

My time with Aaron was my best Workaway experience yet! He's a fun, chill guy with very interesting life stories!

He also lives directly across from Greenlake which is a beautiful lake that is great to go walking or jogging around. My time at Aaron's was so great and I'm actually coming back this spring to help out some more! Can't wait to be back!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
Absolutely the best Workawayer ever :) Veronika is responsible, polite, able to accomplish any task including measuring and cutting out new fabric for T3 interior :) Veronika it was great to meet you!! See you in the future :)
I had two amazing weeks with Aaron and Samantha. He took us to all his favorite spots in Seattle and to Port Townsend. The atmosphere was always relaxed and I felt very welcome, so I can just recommend this host although he won't be in Seattle much longer.

My first workaway experience was great and I really appreciate it that Aaron let me stay at his place. He is very kind, generous, and easy to talk to even with my bad English.

Where to start??? I was at Aaron's home for the first time in just over a week and after a trip to Oregon I came back to take care of Samantha, the cat. In the end I've been to Aaron almost a month!

He took me to drink in his favorite place and we went out for a trip out of town. I helped keep the house clean, I took care of Samantha, worked in the garden, cooked, organized the movies (!!!), built the floor in the secret room ... all jobs that I did with pleasure.
