We have been incredibly lucky to get the opportunity to host Francesca and Jeffery. They are very flexible and ready to help with anything needed. They are very independent and take lots of initiative. Nothing is too much for them, and everything they do is done with positivity.

Francesca was amazing. She took pride in the work she did. I felt comfortable with her being around, she has initiative and was always willing to help when ever or wherever help was needed. She's also a great cook and made me some lovely dishes when she saw that I was busy. She even attended a birth with me. She is also a great painter.

We cannot say enough great things about this shelter! We have just recently volunteered for one month and would absolutely have stayed longer if we didnt already have another flight booked. The way they treat the animals is a beautiful thing! Karen and Ruth are great to work with and there was a great atmosphere with the other workawayers as well.

They are amazing. Fran is very polite and quick learner. She is so kind that she try to understand our poor English.
JD makes us laugh anytime. He can make the atmosphere blight. I have invited many workawayers in this 5 years.
But I never laughed in the first time meeting.
I'm sure they make anybody happy.
Thank you, JD and Fran!!!

A great successful story to why we are on workaway to begin with. Fran and JD are dream volunteers. Hardworking, skilled, not fussy and social. They are superstar workawayers and we were spoiled rotten to have them. They will be missed dearly, and we hope to see them again one day.

Fran was really a great help at our hostel. She was always welcoming to guests and did everything with a lot of attention to details. Aside from that, she always had a good energy about her and brought a lot of joy to the hostel. If you have a chance to host Fran, we would recommend you don't miss out ;)

Fran is absolutely lovely. She has a warm smile and the ability to complete any task with ease. Fran is a perfect fit for any position that demands attention to detail, cleanliness, communication and guest service. She was a great addition to our team and we were sad to see her go.
