I spent a week and a half with Andrew and Laura. We harvested olives, milked goats, and tended the garden. I learned a lot about their culture and grew to appreciate olive harvesting haha. They are wonderful people with wonderful neighbors, and they live in a beautiful place too.
I helped them with some extra work and they even gave me an extra… read more

Accommodation 5/5 - exactly what you would expect at this stage of the project. It was good, even though we didn't have much privacy, they provided us with a mattress and a mosquito net and made us feel comfortable.

Work 4/5 - For a 4-week stay, I expected to learn and do many more different things, but hey, work is work.
I did learn a couple of… read more valuable things, even though the hosts put too much pressure to do housework (excluded from the normal 5 hours of work), which often took up to 7 hours a day and didn't leave me enough energy or time to enjoy the rest of the day.
I suggest integrating housework into the 5 hours of daily work.

Hosts:
Jannis #redacted# - a very chill guy, although sometimes very blunt and direct, he knows how to make you feel at ease and gives you a lot of freedom in how you manage your day.
Always ready to go surfing together and helps you with this.

Emma #redacted# - Unfortunately, I can't say many positive things about her. We started our experience together very well, and I could see how passionate and serious she was about her project. But in the last few days, everything went terribly wrong.
Although we cleared up a misunderstanding caused by poor communication on both sides, she continued to be angry and made me feel uncomfortable.
I can't say everything I would like to, because it would be unprofessional and very personal.
I was happy with the experience, but this #redacted# person made everything worse at the last minute.
For this reason, I can't leave a positive review. #redacted# I wish her all the best anyway.

Overall experience 3/5 - Apart from the last few moments, it was a really enjoyable and valuable experience.
The place is beautiful, the animals are adorable (although I'm not entirely convinced it's right to keep two large dogs in such a small space all day, and one of them is quite aggressive), we watched movies and went on a wonderful hike together, and I really enjoyed myself.
However, there were some negative aspects. Long housework, poor communication, some discomfort...
I would have liked to recommend it anyway for the positive aspects, but #redacted# I just can't do it.
I'm quite sad, a nice experience ruined in 24 hours.

I'm writing this after a month, because this was my first workaway experience and I really needed another one, so that I could gain some perspective before giving my opinion.
And I spoke to the other two girls I was working with, who weren't very enthusiastic about this experience.

(Good )
