Tamara has been an excellent guest in all aspects. Very adaptable, good at coping with new environment, very considerate in respecting different habits. She has been working hard in house maintenance showing excellent skills. She helped me fixing old windows, painting doors, stacking wood and olive picking.
It has been pleasant to share with her

I stayed with Laura for a little under a month from mid October-mid November. We worked together on projects around her house and sometimes I worked individually while she was at work. We also worked in the olive groves of some of her friends. I enjoyed this stay very much. For my first Workaway experience it was perfect. Laura is a warm and

Unfortunately, I had horrible allergies during my stay in the Italian countryside. Laura did all she could to help me find the medications (named differently than at home) and make it to a doctor when the over-the-counter medicines weren't enough. If it weren't for that, I would have loved to stay longer as Laura and I had a lot in common and got along well. We did some hiking together too. I feel like I made a new friend and hope she feels the same. I also loved her animals-her kitty named Mama (which I think would more aptly be called Screamer-Laura knows what I mean and I mean it lovingly:) and her dog Terry. I loved that Laura taught me how to cook some Italian dishes and that I was learning the Italian language-which I plan to continue. Thank you so much Laura!! I would love to come back, allergy prepared next time!

In the time she spent at my house Kaye has been a very pleasant company to me. It was nice to talk with her and I was happy to introduce her to my friends. She dealt with my pets in a very affectionate and considerate way. She helped me a lot around the house, very flexible and willing to learn new skills, such as painting. I have been away for a

I highly reccomend her.

I stayed a month with Laura and it was an amazing experience, she's super kind knows so much and introduced me to her friends in the village so whilst she was away I got to meet them and help out. The work was joyful walking the dog everyday and looking after the cat and the house and also getting to do some renovation work on the house where I
