Chantal is a great girl. Very pleasant to talk to. We were pleased to meet her. She is a very good assistant in gardening and housework. We are glad that she was able to come to us during this difficult time for traveling, despite the Covid-19.

I stayed with Olga and Vladimir for around two weeks. I felt welcome from the start... I was given guidance on the best way to travel to their village and they even booked a seat on the bus for me. The work was not at all difficult and I wish that I could have stayed longer, as I could see that they do need more help around their lovely home.… read more

This was my first stay since joining Workaway and I couldn’t have asked for any better hosts. Due to Covid I only intended to stay 2-3 weeks and then move on but in the end I stayed almost 7 weeks, if I wouldn’t have felt so welcome I would have changed hosts so this is proof of how good they take care of you!

Olga and Vladimir are both easy to… read more

I had a very nice stay at Olga and Vladimir house. They were both very kind with me, explaining me what to do, saying me to rest, cooking me some very good food !

The place is very peaceful and perfect to feel out of modern-city-troubles.

Thanks very much Olga and Vladimir for your kindness.

Our stay at Olga and Vladimir's was just perfect. It was for both of us our best experience in workaway. We felt part of the family, were so happy there. Working, if we can call it "work" because it was pleasure, consisted in collect fruits, make compot and help to build a path. No strict schedule as sometimes we saw with workaway.
