It was our first experience with workaway. Geoff is really chill, friendly and let you feel comfortable at his. We had to work for 2-3 h/day and we could choose if we want to work in the morning or in the midday. There was another workawayer at his and we made dinner everyday together. If you want to surf, that’s the place to be! If Geoff has a… read more
