She worked very well.
We had good Joy in spare time.
Thou, her english language could be more develloped.
I really recommend her!
Sture was my first workaway host. And before I went there, I was slightly nervous about spending a week there. But this staying was much more wonderful than I expected. My staying is just a week, but I experienced a lot during the week.
Even though I have no experience, he taught me kindly… read more
We made a good team!
Each day had its day's work and something new to try, a new place to discover, more lakes to discover and everyday moments to share.
Thank you Sture!

I had a special personal situation, and they payed full… read more

He is a open minded, funny and easy going guy. I was able to decide from a wide range of tasks, and the working hours in general were really flexible. This was perfect, because on some days Sture offered a ride to another city, or we met up with his friends, who are also… read more
