Description
Hi! We are Andrea and Nicola, a couple of 26-year-old Italian photographers, we have been travelling since 2022 since we decided to drop everything and change our lives. Since then we have travelled almost all over Europe doing voluntary work in most of the countries we have visited.
We are currently in England with the aim of perfecting our English.
With workaway we have had the opportunity to try our hand at special jobs, outside the normal everyday routine, such as working in a hydroelectric power station in Austria or helping with 20 dobberman in Ireland, at the same time, we have also gained experience in more common jobs, such as gardening, farm work, house sitting, pet sitting, etc..We consider ourselves lucky because through these experiences we have had a strong personal growth.
We like to challenge ourselves and learn from the people we meet on our journey.

We stayed with Frank and Cristhine for 3 months and we have to say that we couldn't have asked for better. From the first day we felt part of their family, they are extremely generous, helpful and nice people!

We could not have wished for a more helpful, thoughtful and polite couple. Nicola and Andrea were fantastic and were always happy and positive. They were amazing with our four dogs and did a great job of looking after them and the house when we were away. They were very responsible and without any hesitation we would highly recommend them.

We stayed with Jemima and James for six weeks and it was beautiful. Their house is a little paradise surrounded by nature, it's like going back in time.

The are two of the most wonderful, efficient and caring people we have met.

It was a wonderful experience, Karan and his family are wonderful people and the country where they live is simply magical.

Andrea and Nicola are a lovely natured Italian couple. They were my second set of Workawayers and got on well with everyone. They are very respectful and helpful.
They helped tame my overgrown garden, cleared out my basement and built some Ikea furniture for me. Everything they did was perfect.
I can confirm that Andrea’s gnocchi is stunning.… read more

We stayed with Jon for 6 days, one of the best experiences with workaway. Jon is a wonderful person with a kind soul, he was always available for anything, he gave us lots of advice on what to see in Carcassone, both when we arrived and when we left he gave us a lift in the car. The work has never been hard, in fact it has always been pleasant. We… read more

We stayed with Cristian and Isabella for over a month. We can only say beautiful words for them: they taught us a lot to relate to nature, to work giving life to our creativity but above all we felt part of the family. As promised we would love to return. Absolutely recommended!

We stayed with Gerry and Mary for almost two weeks. They are two beautiful people, very helpful and with a lot of curiosity for Italian culture. They helped us with our English. The work we have done in these days has been mainly in the garden and walking their beautiful dogs (really nice!). We had great fun!

The job consisted of looking after the dogs when they weren't there (especially cuddling them a lot!). It was a pain to go away, because by now we felt part of the family.

Andrea and Nicola are a lovely couple who came to us to improve their English as well as to learn new skills.

Adrian and Shamsiah are beautiful people, despite the difficulties with the language they have always been there for everything.
