Workawaying at Marie's place was a wonderful experience.
Marie is a very kind and easy going person. She is deeply involved in spiritual awareness which led to interesting discussions.

What a blessed time it was with JP. His knowledge about plants and nature is immense and he directs it right away into action. When he left, my garden smiled brightly and each tree bowed "thank you!" JP cooked some delicious, healthy meals for us. He is very reliable and steady in his pace and presence. Everyone in the community loved his… read more

We were great with JeanPaul. He is a methodical and dedicated person. He was especially grouting a stone wall of what will be the future bathroom. We were learning together the best techniques, so we thank him for what we learned!
He also knows a lot about gardening for food. He knows fertilization techniques for vegetables which he put into… read more

Carlota & Marc do their best to provide good conditions for workawayers.
They live off-grid in a remote area. This requires a frugal use of water and electricity. It also means very little socialization. This was a bit challenging to me at the beginning, but in the end I liked it.
The job was physical. It consisted in repairing a path which had… read more

We were very glad to have Jean Paul stay and work with us. He is a very knowledgeble man with lots of travelled experiences. He contributes his agronomist background and always has suggestions. We had very enticing conversations and resolved world issues over breakfast and lunch, together with other workawayers. He is very interested in learning… read more

Living at Chestnutfarm was an amazing experience.

My job was mainly gardening, making fruit and vegetable preserves and building. An other point to mention for… read more
