ABOUT CHLOE!
I pride myself on being a warm, reliable and caring person who loves to share and learn. I am English, have a degree in Criminology, and spent the last few years working in London. I have always loved travelling and wanted to find out more about the world. Within the past year, I have had quite an epiphany about what I want to change in my life - and it starts with seeing new places, helping others, and giving back to the planet. I love meeting new people, learning about culture and language, and I am true dog lover (I have been a dog-sitter for several years). I grew up gardening and am not at all afraid of manual labour. I also enjoy cooking and I consider myself respectful to everyone and everything around me. I'm a very calm person who enjoys that energy around me. I look for that family-feel and sense of community, as it is what makes me feel whole.

ABOUT SALVATORE (aka KELPIE)!
I am a hard-working, vibrant and calm person who moved to the UK in 2009. I am Italian and so therefore fluent in both Italian and English, and I know a bit of Spanish too. I have been a musician for the past 15 years, as well as various other jobs in customer service. I love to immerse myself in other cultures; my Mediterranean roots provide me with a deep love of good food, language, the sun and the sea. I also do not mind getting stuck in, and am confident in manual labour, as well as an animal lover (I was also a dog sitter for a few years whilst in lived in London!). Next on my life journey, I wish to travel more and better immerse myself in another place to give back, learn about a new country and culture, and help those around us.

ABOUT US!
We have been together for the past six years and regard each other as soulmates - we got married in Las Vegas in 2023! We have been travelling full-time since February 2023 and have always had great experiences with WorkAway - we have made friends with all of our hosts and have re-visited several of them! Kelpie and I have learnt a lot through WorkAway, ranging from gardening, landscaping, carpentry, woodwork, and animal care (we volunteered at a dog rescue in Mexico for 2.5 months). We have the same outlook on life and are both calm, considerate, and funny characters who look for that sense of community. We are polite, respectful and pure in our intentions and we truly hope Workaway hosts are happy to take us on :)

Joe is a gem. Kind, funny, genuine, generous, caring, interesting, clever. We loved our time at Joe's place and continued to see him socially even when we had to move onto another Workaway nearby. His home carried a very special energy and the friends of his that you meet in your time there are always cool and lovely. Joe is adored by the… read more

Ivana, Paul, Francesca, Magnus, Otis, Ella and Willi...what an incredible family ❤️ We had the most amazing two months at their stunning property.

Chloe and Kelpie are the greatest.

Fun, funny, great conversationalists, interesting, great workers. They think outside the box and had great suggestions when we were tackling new projects. They were off on an adventure and came home with a free sink and taps they had found on the side of the road. Kelpie then proceeded to make a cabinet for it… read more

No paragraph can really capture the extent of how lovely these people are and what an absolute pleasure it was to do this Workaway.

The work at the farm is rewarding. We did a wide variety of things, from working in the winery (fermenting, pressing grapes, and bottling lots of delicious wine) to doing the roofing and flooring in an outhouse. We… read more

Well, what can we say...Hilary is simply incredible! What an amazing five weeks we spent with Hilary at Casa Ajonoz. Hilary is a beautiful soul, and it is no exaggeration to say one of the best cooks you will ever have the pleasure of knowing. Her two beloved dogs, Leo and Arya, are the sweetest and we miss them everyday since leaving! We felt… read more

Chloe and Salvatore (Kelpie) are the most wonderful, fun, hardworking and delightful couple you could ever hope to host. I had five joyous weeks of enjoying their friendship, completed projects, sun, food, games and trips out.
They were very loving towards the dogs, as well as me! They redecorated some of inside and outside of the casa taking… read more

Chloe and "Kelpie" were wonderful guests who appreciated every day at Hale Pueo and gave 100% to their tasks. They are the kind of people who give us faith in humanity...conscientious, kind, hard working, sensitive culturally and respectful of the land and its gifts. We enjoyed every day with these lovely people from England who are seekers and… read more

We will be forever grateful for our time with Melanie, Kevin and Hale Pueo. It was our first WorkAway experience, and we learnt so much in our five weeks there - we didn't want to leave! It truly became a new home and we miss it dearly. The work was varied enough and as long as you are meeting the hours and needs of the land and Farmer's Market,… read more you have plenty of time to explore beautiful Hana. During our stay, the work mainly consisted of weeding, landscaping, fencing, clearing the stream, building wooden frames for the car-port, painting, and cutting down the ample fruit that the aina bares. To work with the land can be rather physically demanding, especially in the tropical heat, so a good level of fitness is beneficial to the experience. Opening the coconuts every day for the chickens and ducks was always a cute task too! As well as this, we spent a lot of time helping to organise and clean the house, fix various things, and prepare the goodies (such as dried banana, coconut, starfruit, liliko'i butter, lemonade, and other juices) for the Farmer's Market which occurs every Friday. Hale Pueo is in a great location despite how remote the east side of Maui is - you get phone reception and are only 30-minutes' walk to some of the most stunning beaches. The cabin in which we stayed was also great, very comfortable with beautiful views over the stream and ranch. You quickly get used to the many geckos and the few spiders (which are harmless). We enjoyed several lovely dinners (wish I could still eat ulu everyday!!) with Melanie and Kevin who have great stories and warmth, we loved playing Yahtzee and jamming on the congas with them. Melanie was amazing at taking us to see some of the local sights such as the incredible Wailua Falls and Waioka Pond. We also got to spend the day in the super hipster town of Paia (about two hours away) which was really cool. This whole experience is perfect for those who want to switch-off, perhaps escape busier lives, to learn about native plants, Hawaiian traditions, and truly heal from the aina. We also bonded closely with the other WorkAwayers who were there, to which we have built a lifelong friendship with. It has been nothing short of a life-changing experience for us and so there will forever be a special place in our hearts for Hale Pueo, Melanie, Kevin, Archie, Kiko - and Maui as a whole. Lots of love from us and MAHALO!
