I'm sure this is what workaway is at its best. Our host Christian hitchhiked round India in the summer of love in 68 and those hippy roots, that inclusive attitude still shine through. At least now I can say I was there in the autumn of 19.
Thanks Christian for everything, see you again soon I hope.

What an amazing experience! If you have the chance to go to Christian’s place, seize it without hesitation. Milos Island is one of the best places we’ve ever been to. We rented a scooter so it was easy to explore the island and to reach beaches by ourselves. Christian is an excellent host, he is easygoing and makes you feel at home. He built his… read more

We had a wonderful week with Christian and wish we could have stayed longer! Our work was mostly sanding and painting, with some cleaning mixed in.

I stayed with Christian on the beautiful island of Milos for the first two weeks of November.
