his hands. Because of the weather we could not work outside in the garden, but the work in the house I asked
him for (like window cleaning) he did… read more

My George-time was great! In these two weeks I stayed with him, George didn't even leave one moment for me to be bored. Every day we went, or down to the nearby village, or to a nice city along the coast, or to some beautiful, hidden place in the middle of the nature! George will show you the best he has to offer! As this is his number one… read more

George is a super friendly guy, when I first met him he greeted me with a hug, and I felt instantly at home. George showed me and the two other workawayers staying there all around santa catarina, made delicious meals and introduced us to a lot of his friends in the area. We got to see the beaches, rodeos and nice cities in the santa catarina… read more

George is probably the most experienced and welcoming person i've met during my travels in South America. I spent around two weeks with George, exploring the beautiful nature, eating good food, thinking and talking about life. I learned so much during these weeks and i'm really thankful for this time! I hope that i can go back there one day!
