Eddie and Galina arrived bringing their positive and full of love energy, they gave us a big hand both in building and in looking after our garden and veggie garden and their presence for us was always nice and discrete.
Lucky we had also time to share, to enjoy meals together and to play and sing.
We also enjoyed to host Gaia and Indie, a high… read more

This Workaway was as perfect as it could be, Paul and Nigel made us very welcome from the start and we connected straight away.

This was my first experience with Workaway and I am super impressed! Eddie & Galina have some amazing ideas I never would have thought of.

An old bath found behind the shed is now a beautiful herb garden. As I… read more

At all times we had a very good connection and from the first moment I could feel their good energy. They are a very flexible family and we adapt perfectly to each one's work schedules and rhythms.

The journey we did on his bus was a pleasant and unforgettable adventure :) You can always make a collaboration and with a very good attitude.

Thank… read more

Manuel is a wonderful person, his vision and project amazing. All of us in Alice (our bus) really took to him and his plans, including our Gaia (10 month old puppy)
Even though times are difficult at the moment Manuel was able to show the love he has for nature and compassion (I lost a family member whilst here which was hard) to us.
Though the… read more
