Description
We really love the idea of workaway and have worked away in Australia, new Zealand and Spain.
We recently moved back to Spain after 15 years living and working in the UK.

My (David) previous job involved coordinating the volunteers in the park and managing a whole range of projects. Previous to this I worked as a Ranger and as an teacher. I love being outdoors or working in anything connected to tourism as I have a Masters in Responsible Tourism Management.

Hi I'm Anna and in the UK I ran a cake baking and decorating business as well as organising events (I'd be more than happy to bake a cake or two for you!!). My background is in fashion design and I love doing anything creative. I also love cooking and meeting new people and finding out about different cultures.

We both travel as often as we can and the idea of workaway really appeals to us as it is the perfect way to get to know people and really experience the place you visit.

We have been doing airbnb for 4 years now both as hosts and visitors because we really enjoy meeting people from all over the world even when we are not on holiday (and have a 5 star rating). We are both conscientious, hardworking and happy to give anything a go. Hope that's enough info for you to get an idea about us!!

We had a brilliant time here. Suzanne and Richard were great hosts and did everything to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The location is stunning as is the surrounding area. There are plenty of lovely walks to do and places to visit and Suzanne and Richard have lots of tips on where to go. Our tasks included cooking, gardening,… read more

Our stay with Graham and Noelle was a wonderful experience. We stayed for a week but would have loved to have been able to stay longer as we were made to feel so welcome. The apartment for workawayers is superb with everything you need and really comfortable. We enjoyed helping out with a variety of tasks including chipping olive branches, hedge… read more

David and Anna were a delight to host and to get to know in the short time they had with us. We would have loved for them to stay longer to enjoy their good company and fabulous cooking. They're both hard-working, kind, respectful and fun and we would recommend them to any future host who has the same values.

This was our first work away experience and we couldn't have got off to a better start. The work was really interesting and varied, the food was really tasty and healthy and the location is beautiful.
