Description
We are a newly wed couple who are building a house and life together!

We are both enthusiastic and hard workers who love to smile and laugh. We are each self motivated and great listeners.
Grayson loves to be outside, travel/meet new people, eat and cook tasty food, and learn new things. He loves to play music and jam - he plays a weird metal UFO that sounds like a harp. He's traveled and had a wonderful time through workaway in Slovenia, Israel, England, US, and more. His skills reside with woodworking, auto mechanics, working outdoors with kids, and anything hands on. He was raised always hiking and playing outside so he is happiest there.
Shawn is a great cook, loves to take care of kids, is a strong leader, motivated, and full of life and laughter. She loves to dance - particularly west coast swing. This is how Grayson and Shawn met. She has done solo travel through Europe as well as the US. She loves to hike and did multiple Camino de Santiago routes, thriving in a community of backpackers. She has experience WWOOFing and working in a food forest in England - and specialized in processing food.

We look forward to meeting you!

Wonderful people! So welcoming. I loved being immediately trusted and embraced into the family, it was truly special. Thank you Zia and Dragon, you both are such kind and generous people! I hope the piece of land you're building flourishes into the paradise you are willing it to be. I look forward to coming back sometime! <3 Grayson and Elit

Ran and Eyal are super awesome. Loved my two weeks on the moshav working on the plantation and fixing things! I even came back for another week of fun. I composted trees, poured concrete, fixed tractors, laughed, ate tasty food, and got dirty.

I would say this was my favorite workaway so far! thank you guys so much for being delightful hosts.

Well done Grayson, cheerful, willing, adaptable, strong and all round resorceful! So glad you came! Especially when the teams split in 2 and Grayson went to Maui Waui as my part of Monty's team.

I stayed with them for 4 weeks! We watched jousting in Loxwood, stayed up late in Wales, danced in Saxmundon, and played music in Farnham.

Living the festival life immediately after traveling in Nepal was quite a change - 'twas a wonderful time. I had a blast meeting many new people, exploring the festivals, helping to make/serve food, and… read more

Grayson was here for two weeks and we loved having him with us. Although he is only 20, he is very mature for his age, a warm, genuine person with a great sense of humour. Among other things he helped us a lot with the wood-cutting and loading the hay into the barn, also repairing the fences in the goats' enclosure. He is a hard worker, strong and… read more

I stayed with Majda and John for about two weeks. I had such a fun time. When I arrived, I immediately felt accepted into the family and felt at home. The little cabin we stayed in was comfortable and safe. I had a wonderful time chasing after Dora, fixing the goat fence, moving wood, straw, and helping out with general tasks. The place is on a… read more
