Description

Vi nyder at møde nye mennesker, opleve andre kulturer og kontroverser. Vi har to gange været frivillige i et spansk hostel og holdt stedet pænt og ryddeligt og taget os af modtagelsen.
Dette nød vi meget.
I februaar og marts 2025 boede og arbejdede vi to steder i Argentina i ialt 7 uger. Det var bestemt en god oplevelse.

More details about your skills

Joan is a former teacher in primary school. Niels is a former farmer producing strawberries and chrismastrees. We have twice been working on a camino-hostel in Spain, doing housework and reception. This we enjoyed very much. We get a kick out out meeting new people from other cultures.
We would enjoy to do hostel or farm related work, or maybe a mix of both.

De taler mange sprog - … read more

Joan and Niels made a last minute request and it worked out wonderful. They are a hard-working, very competent and knowledgeble couple. They helped with many projects: gardening, weeding and maintenance, harvesting and storing honey, canning of tomatoes. They sanded, varnished, painted and cleaned up after each job. It was clear that as fellow … read more

Vi har tilbragt 4 uger sammen med familien og har nydt hvert eneste øjeblik. Vi er blevet mødt med gæstfrihed, hjertelighed og omsorg.

Vi har lavet ost og yoghurt sammen med Sergio og arbejdet i køkkenhaven sammen med Alice. Clara på 2 år, har været en fortrinlig … read more
