She has a big garden, so my main job was weeding. But I could take a rest whenever I got tired, so it wasn't a hard job.
Vanya cooked Bulgatian food, which I enjoyed. She used to live in a city, so it is also fun to hear about her life. On my days off, I explored Plovdiv. Altogerh I really enjoyed staying here!

Akiko was with us for 3 weeks. She was working hard in our yard and did a lot of weeding, which was a thought task. She is responsible and kind. We had nice talks in the evenings and she is welcome to come back.

Sam has a lot of vegetables and fruit trees, so my job was gardening. Because I'm interested in healthy food and homegrown vegetable, I really enjoyed staying there. Everyday I could eat salad with greens from his garden. He cooked many of other healthy foods as well including bread. I also appreciated his taking me to a national park and a… read more

Akiko stayed with us for three and a half weeks and proved to be a very easy person to have around. She mostly kept to herself after hours, though was good for a conversation during dinner, while working or on an outing. She was respectful of the house rules and always clean and tidy. Akiko's work ethic was excellent and although slight in build… read more

Beyond a genuine and heartfelt friendship that grew during the weeks Akiko stayed in our home, I have nothing but good things to say about Akiko and our shared experience. All the superlatives apply. I truly enjoyed our many conversations, some local trips and sharing meals together each day. I am also very grateful for the real dedication Akiko… read more

I really enjoyed staying at Doug's house. I experienced not only gardening but also preparing Canadian food and hanging out together. After meals, we usually talk about health, food or something like that which both of us were interested in. My English isn't good, but he explained what I couldn't understand. I study English and like walking, so it… read more

I stayed for 2 months. This was my first workaway and I really enjoyed it. I saw puppies born three times. I hadn't seen the scene before, so I was moved. All of puppies were so cute. Of course that is not only puppies. Adult ones, too. They have thier own personalities. I also hadn't lived with many dogs before. So, I had really good and fun… read more
