I‘m so happy that I got to stay with this wonderful family. They are very special people full of joy and energy to explore and also make most of every day life. During the five weeks I stayed with them we did so many activities together and they always asked me if I want to join them. I’m so grateful for all those memories and the generosity and… read more

Maddalena was a great workaway traveller, always open to work with our kids, planned activities, took really good care of them that even after 6 months of her leaving, my kids (especially the little one) mentions when is she coming back again!? :p

I think Maddalena's dedication, effort, patience and work ethics were reflected on the relationship… read more

I stayed with Louis' family for almost one month during august. It was my first experience trough workaway and I can say that it definetely exceed my expectations.

They made me feel welcomed and at ease since the first moment we met. Louis came to pick me and another girl form France at the station, then we went home were we had a barbecue with… read more all the family. The kids were very excited and happy to see us. I instantly understood that the family was super interesting and could teach me a lot, giving me many inputs. Louis is from Mexico and Meri is from Croatia, they lived in different places around the world and the kids were born in Sidney. They told us a lot of stories about their adventures and I felt enchanted listening to them. Living in their house was super cool because I felt like I was receiving a lot of stimulus from different cultures and languages, and that was exactly how I wanted my workaway experience to be like.

In the first days they showed us the beautiful city of Sitges and I quickly fell in love with it. There are different beaches and also the old town is very pretty.
Our work consisted basically on taking care of the kids, organising a schedule for every week. So we did different activities such as: going to the swimming pool, going at the beach with the sup, going for a bike ride along the beach, playing football, doing indoor climbing, staying at home doing some art and crafts or doing karaoke...
Sometimes we also did some activities with the whole family, like going to the cinema, going to the museum or joining some parties with the family friends on the beach. That was an opportunity to meet new people and expand our knowledge about different cultures and ways of living. We also went surfing and I loved it!
During the weekends we had free time and we went to visit some of the main cities of Catalonia, such as Barcelona and Tarragona. It was easy to travel from Sitges' station to the different destinations (Barcelona is just 40 mins far from Sitges by train).
Moreover, we have been lucky to be in Sitges for the fiesta major, so we had the opportunity to find out more about Spain's traditions.

I'll forever be grateful for this experience and I could recommend it to everyone who is curious to get to know new cultures and languages while exploring Catalonia. I hope to come back soon!
