Description
We are a couple that has been together for over ten years and married for one, we lived in London for 10 years before we got the travel bug, and we then travelled to over 12 countries in a year (plenty of stories).
Once we got back we ended up in Aviemore Scotland where we fell in love with nature here. We decided to go to Australia to work and save up to buy a house in Scotland. We bought our house and now back to Australia to buy another one!
We both are very much the outdoor types with both of us growing up in the scouts (but in different countries) and many other outdoor activities. As our honeymoon adventure, we chose to spend it in Alaska.

Charlie's experience is mainly in hospitality and retail, while Veronika is a Graphic designer now focusing on teaching it.

We love meeting new people with stories, new adventures, and learning new life skills.

Hope to speak and meet soon,

Charlie & Veronika

Staying with Kelsey and Isaac was an absolute pleasure! They were very welcoming from the start (even before we turned up). We instantly felt comfortable like we were staying with our friends. We loved our social evenings eating wonderful dinners, playing games, watching movies, and sharing stories from our travels.

We were given clear… read more

We hosted Charlie & Veronika for about a week, and they were such a pleasure! They were incredibly respectful of our space and quickly just stepped into the ebb & flow of our daily lives without any fuss. They were always super eager to lend a hand around the house and my husband & I were amazed by their work ethic. They have transformed our… read more

We arrived when it was dark and in a short notice, we were still welcomed in with big arms. We woke to see such a beautiful property and a even more beautiful family.
We spent only with them for 3 days. It was definitely not long enough.
We worked to help build and paint a retaining wall, as well as did little bit of gardening.
In the down… read more

Any hosts taking these two on are in for an absolute treat. I was lucky enough to have them on 2 occasions and both times didnt want them to leave. The best ambassadors for workaway ever, so competant and capable and a delight to spend time with. You would ask Charlie if he could mow the lawns, he would find the lawnmower, find the tools to fix it… read more

Dianne's place just puts smile on your face every day. We spent there a week and can imagine spending there months. There is always stuff to do and you get lots of dog cuddles in return. :-) Dianne is wonderful, friendly and caring person with lots of trust for people so it is just so enjoyable to be around. Dianne's door is as open as her heart.… read more

We loved having Veronika & Charlie stay. Could pick up and run with any job, got on fabulously with our 6 year old and easily fitted into our crazy days. Great attention to deatil and also had a abilty to find stuff to do when were busy. We would happily welcome them back anytime and also recommend them for any workaway experience. 5 star people!

When we arrived we went in the gate and were greeted by a little man riding a little pony straight at us! That was Will. He is one of the cleverest, smartest and sweetest kids we know. Mel and David live in a superb property with rolling grass hills and horses all around.
They both very successfully work from home and work damn hard at it as… read more

Will and the whole family are such great people, we were welcomed into the family with open arms.
It was remarkable how quick we felt part of the family.
We helped with jobs on the farm for most of day and then in the afternoons we did our own thing.
We were very lucky to have a go at water skiing and managed to ride a horse while we were… read more

Charlie and Veronika were the first volunteers to visit our home and they could not have been better guests. What a wonderful introduction to the Workaway community!

Though their time with us was short, the amount of work they completed was quite impressive, especially considering the heat during their visit. These two work great as a team,… read more

I think I just might cry.

These two really got it. What it means to be part of a farm experience. Part of a team. Spending time brainstorming on how to make this place better, happier, financially viable.

So impressed with these two, I know they'll make it where ever they go. whatever they do,

By the way, they get "Very Good",… read more

We volunteered here for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time. Communication with Angela was quick and really welcoming. Everyone made us feel like we are part of the family from the first day. It was our first workaway and farm experience and Angela was great teacher. We did everything from gardening to looking after animals and DYI projects… read more
