Wow, what a family! I have so much to say about these lovely people. I stayed with Ariana, Franc, Chloe, and Vera for about a month and a half (which was longer than I had originally anticipated) and loved every minute of it. They are truly caring and kind people, and I couldn't have asked for a better family to stay with while in Barcelona. We… read more ended up getting to know each other on a very deep and personal level since I arrived right before the coronavirus madness began and everything shut down, so I was 'quarantined' with them for about a month. They were extremely understanding and helpful during that stressful time and we all got along wonderfully. I felt safe and comfortable during a very strange time, which I can't thank them enough for!
Originally, my duties were to help keep the place clean, pick up the girls from school/ after school activities, practice English with them, and occasionally watch them while Franc and Ariana were out, which was all very easy and fun. This arrangement only lasted about a week though before everything shut down and all of Spain was ordered to stay indoors. At this point, the whole experience changed due to the coronavirus. It very easily could have gone downhill from there if this family weren't so darn amazing! Being 'trapped' indoors with them for the following 5 weeks or so ended up being an opportunity to become close with each of them and become a part of their family. We did what we could to entertain each other; teaching each other games, watching series, swapping recipes, and cooking for each other. I continued practicing English with the girls, and Ariana helped me get ahold of a guitar (an amazing feat during the crazy times!) which I used to play songs with Chloe and Vera and also teach Franc and Ariana a bit of guitar as well :).
Overall, we had a lot of fun getting to know each other and teaching each other new things. I now have a solid connection with this family and I plan on maintaining that for the rest of my days! I hope to visit them many more times in the future and to have them out visit me here in Washington.
I can imagine someday in the future being asked, "What were you doing during the coronavirus?" and responding, "I was making some lifelong friends!" Again, I can't say enough nice things about these people.
Ariana, Franc, Chloe, and Vera, thank you all so much for having me and I hope to see you again soon when everything goes back to normal!

My time with Ariana and Frank was nothing short of fantastic. They are so kind and welcoming, I immediately felt at home in Molins de Rei. My month long stay was the perfect balance between helping out with the family, and the freedom to explore Barcelona and the surrounding region on my own. And some of my favorite outings were to festivals,… read more

I had a great workaway experience with Ariana, Frank, Chloe and Vera. They are a very kind and welcoming family.
Chloe and Vera are both nice and well-educated girls. We did some crafts together and Chloe showed me some magic tricks. I brought them to school every morning for a week while Ariana and Frank had to go to work, I was surprised how… read more

Ella es amable, respetuosa, tranquila, inteligente y siempre dispuesta ayudar.
Con nuestras hijas ha sido protectora y dedicada a enseñarles con el inglés.
Esperamos volver a verte pronto Alice, mucha suerte en tu andadura!

Ella es pura bondad y siempre servicial, no hay que pedir ayuda, ella la ofrece por adelantado.
Tuvo la gran amabilidad de dar… read more

Meeting this family was a true gift of heaven to me! Incredible how many interests and beliefs we have found in common with Ariana and Frank: Healthy lifestyle, natural medicine, alternative education, handicrafts, books and movies, languages!
I was staying with this lovely family for 2 months, so we had time to do so many things together, we've… read more
