Carles is a polite, friendly and super sympathetic guy ,who is always there when needed. He came with his own car , which was a great advantage as he was working on 2 projects , which managed with ease. Hopefully we see him on his way back from his tour of France. Good luck on your journeys.

My very first experience in Workaway has been at Claude & Sybilla's home. My stay during two and a half weeks (2th july until 19th) in St. Ferréol was better than good, excellent. They are both lovely, welcoming and generous. I had my own bedroom and bathroom. The area is perfect to walk and do some running, there is a beautiful lake to spend the… read more

Dimitriy is everything you want in a workawayer : polite, kind, funny, doing every task you want, selfsuficient, witty and always on time. You would be lucky, if that nice young man would come and stay with you for a while. We can not praise him enough, thank you Dima

Daria was an exellent helper, she was ready for everything, keen to learn and without hesitation. She is a very selfsufficent traveller and didn't bother anybody in her free time. Her very witty manner in such a young person made her loveable and sympatic. We would have keep much longer ,if we could. Hope to see you again one day and good luck.

I was truly a part of the family for over 4 weeks, breakfasts and dinners together were just perfect. When you arrive in their home, you feel good and you smell the good… read more

I was happy to stay with Claude and Sybilla in December 2018. They were really nice and I enjoyed my stay a lot. I helped around the house, the work was easy and I had time to walk around the lovely lake nearby enjoying the French countryside. And of course the dogs were lovely. Thank you Claude and Sybilla!
