We stayed 3 weeks with Pauline and Raoul. We were very well received at their home, the 4 children are endearing. There is a wonderful dog and a very cuddly cat. Hours are very flexible, very good communication with the family. We mainly took care of the garden, meals and the children. We learned a lot alongside this wonderful family, and we were

The three weeks I spent with Pauline and Raoul were such a wonderful experience. I felt at home from the first moment. It was my first workaway stop and I was not disappointed. The kids are just terrific and I loved living in such a big family. Bandit the dog and coco the cat were my best buddy's, just cute.
My work was always very flexible and

All around I had a wonderful time with this family. Dankeschön!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

It was so incredible to stay with Pauline, Raoul and the kids. They welcomed me into the family immediately and made me feel so at home with them, I honestly cannot recommend anymore. Gaspard, Solene, Lea and Zoe were all so wonderful and had such amazing and different personalities; they're fantasic kids who are all so fun and lovely to be

Pauline showed me the ropes in the kitchen, and there was always some incredbile baked goods around for us to indulge in. Most of the work time was spent outside with Raoul in the garden, helping with planting, harvesting and weeding. I learnt so much about permaculture that I never knew before. Other times I would be helping out with cooking, cleaning and other basic house-work. The work was always varied and so flexible, which made everything such a relaxing experience.
I also cannot forget Bandit the lovely dog and Coco the kitten who was bursting with personality and wanting to cuddle every night.
For time off, I was free to do whatever I liked, but I was always invited to any family events they were partaking in. We went to the Skybridge together, the weekly concert, paddleboarding and even biked up to the lake. My time in Golden was incredible, thanks completely to Raoul and Pauline. The most amazing bunch of people who I am so thankful to have met. I will definitely be back in the future!!!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

We host Megan in April 2023 and it was a pleasure to have her as part of our family for over 3 weeks.
She was awesome with the kids as she challenged them to play a new boardgame every day! They loved it!
Megan was very volunteer to help as much as she could in out busy life. She was very independent and was able to see what was needed to be done

She helped in the garden and in the house.
Thank you for everything Megan.
We hope to see you again if you come back to Golden!

Pauline is a wonderful host and I had a great time hanging out with the kids. We played loads of boardgames, went out for walks and bike rides and spent a lot of time outside enjoying the spring sunshine. Bandit and lila were wonderful pets.
I helped with a range of tasks from cleaning the house and airbnb, stocking wood, cleaning out the chicken

Golden is a small town but with a beautiful view and lots of activities nearby, a car would be helpful as there is no public transport near.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Pauline, Raoul, the kids, Bandit (woof) and Lila (meow) were a wonderful family to stay with. They were all very welcoming and made us feel part of the family from day one.

Pauline and Raoul were the best hosts, we stayed there for 2 weeks and never got bored, we did many different things every day and they made sure to keep it interesting ! Also the kids are nice and we had great laugh at the eating time (with the best food you can imagine in a french family). On the week ends we were able to go out for a lot of

It was a pleasure to host Sarah. She has been very helpful and every chores she had to do was done perfectly. She made sure she always did a good job.
Even Sarah was very quiet she got comfortable to share our family life.
We recommend Sarah without any hesitation.

What an experience! I stayed about two weeks with Pauline and Raoul and had an amazing time at their house. The tasks varied from day to day (with some daily chores) and were super interesting and fun. They adjusted my tasks to my skills, but also taught me new things (such as how to build a chicken coop and baking secrets ;) ). Their three girls
