Description
Some things about us:

I, Helen, studied political science and work remotely for a few hours per week. I love long mountain-hikes and try to be active in other ways to balance out the sitting work on the laptop.

I, Gerald, am pretty good with crafts. Unfortunately, I never received any official training here. But we converted a van ourselves, for example. So I have experience with wood construction, metal work and much more and I am very curios to learn more. Before traveling I completed a commercial master's degree and worked in various management jobs.

We both like being in company and getting insides in other ways of life - but also enjoy having time some time alone. We always try to communicate our needs and wishes honestly and respectfully and are happy when people communicate with us in the same way.

What is important to us: We both know how to make a fire, clean a kitchen, use a drill and cook food. We both have different interests and experiences, we like to try things out and learn new skills. What we don't like is when tasks are assigned according to outdated role models ("male" or "female" tasks) and we are therefore denied new experiences and restricted to certain tasks. This is the only way we can feel good in the long term.

Amazing couple. We had to chance to welcome them at the beginning of our homestay in Sicily and how lucky were we to have them with us. They are both excellent workers that you can trust. They have helped greatly build our main shelter during a quite stressful moment for us. On top of it all, they land-sitted our place during the holidays while… read more

Helene and Gerald spent about 2 weeks with us, they are nice people and very helpful.

Gerald is a humble guy with noble hearth. Although sometimes he lacks confidence, actually has great skills in many fields, attention to details and "German" work precision :)

Helene is keen to learn, mostly interested in technical - hands on - work. Sometimes… read more

Andrea and Akos have a beautiful place on the hills outside Oradea with their two lovely sons. From the first moment you feel at home and part of the family. We were invited to social gatherings with their friends and really had a great time in Oradea and around. A highlight was that we spent a weekend at a beautiful gorge doing a barbecue and… read more

Gerald and Hannah are two lovely young people, full of curiosity and respect. They were quick to learn and always had such a warm and considerate nature. They seemed to truly appreciate the slower pace of village life, especially spending time with the animals, working in the garden, and enjoying the calm of evenings outdoors. They were wonderful… read more

Attila has a beautiful little farm in a quiet village in the mountains of Trantilvania. Together with others from Workaway, we received a warm welcome and were able to stay in his guesthouse. Since it was the weekend, we were first looked after thoroughly and shown the area. There is always a lot to do on a farm. But Atilla likes it a little… read more
