Luka was with us for over a week and showed us his best side. He is open-minded, helpful, intelligent and, above all, has a good attitude to work. Nothing is too difficult for him. He does his job even in extreme heat or when it rains. The conversations about his homeland Georgia were very interesting for us.

The end of my workaway is a perfect example for the way in which it was different from all the working experiences I had gained before on another platform. Andrea and Martin took their time for a round of mutual, constructive feedback which I really appreciated.

My first contact with Andrea and Martin was in december 2021. The earth was coverd with snow and so they didn´t necessarily need a workawayer at that time. Couple days later Andrea called me and asked if I could imagine to look after their 2 cats and their house for around 10 days. Wow, what a great offer :))

Martin and Andrea are a wonderful, welcoming couple. Martin has so much energy! I hope to be like him at his age. We got a lot done in the garden and had fun doing it. Andrea is a 5 star chef, I can confirm. Both are down-to-earth, interesting and authentic. I heartily joined them in playing card or board games on most nights. They always spoke… read more

Anna stayed here for 1 week, helped us harvesting our fruits and has processed vegetables with us. She was a great help in the garden and in the house.
We would have had her much more longer, because she is a very uncomplicated, sweet, adorable young woman, helpfulness , intelligent and likes to laugh.

Andrea and Martin are very kind people. They warmly welcomed us, gave us really nice and cozy place to stay (a room in house next to theirs, ideal for couples) and showed us their little kingdom near Graz.
