Description
Hii everyone!

We're Kade & Xandra. Kade is from Australia and Xandra from the Netherlands. Where we are living as well at the moment.
Kade is an experienced carpenter, working as such for a gardening company. Xandra is a social worker, currently working with mentally challenged people, who need supervision/help in everyday life.

We met each other travelling in South- America, both volunteering/working in a wildlife sanctuary. In this sanctuary we took care of the rescued animals, helped with construction and general maintenance during our stay. We lived in a really remote area of Bolivia, cut off from western everyday luxury. And we loved it.
After this we decided to go traveling together. After only a few days in Ecuador a lovely (street)dog followed our every move... And so, we welcomed Marshmallow into our family. He has travelled around with us, and is now happily living a comfy life on our couch in Holland.

After living in Holland for a while, we now feel like going back into nature, where we belong, and we'd love to learn new skills/languages/cultures on the way. We will be bringing Marshmallow with us, to spread more cuddles and love! He is a very well behaved dog, who is used to travelling and meeting new people and animals!

Kade is a very nice person! He spent two weeks with me and he helped me with various jobs around the house fixing many things with good screwing skills, and in the garden. An excellent company with pleasant stories and exchanges of ideas...and recipes! Highly recommended his vibes!

Not to mention the food Is amazing, you can be sure you will eat very well here as Alesandra puts love into her food.
The work is honest, with a few random… read more

We loved staying on this land. As we stayed here whilst Sara and Stefan were going to see some family/ holiday, we only spend a few days with them, but they are so lovely! Such a nice family and easy to talk to and share experiences and stories.
We minded the pigs and donkeys whilst they were gone, and it was the best. We stayed in a cosy caravan… read more

It was just great to have Xandra and Kade with us. They are so lovely and interesting people ! They both get immediately the picture with any work at hand and are always helpful with lots of skills. We really enjoyed their company. Marshmallow, their dog, is extremely friendly and behaved so nicely with our cats and dogs equally.
Can't wait to see… read more

It's been absolutely lovely to stay with vicky and the animal gang!
All the animals are just so sweet and give nothing but love!
Vicky makes you feel at home right away and is more than happy to share knowledge, love, and her house.

Xandra & Kade were simply wonderful. They embraced every challenge, I only had to mention a job that needed doing in the house and it was done before I got home from work. They took amazing care of our animals, taking the dogs to the river twice per day.
They were also great company, really interesting to talk to, very kind &… read more

Kade is one of the most awesome people I have ever met..and their dog was amazing too. Do not miss a chance to meet or host him as he is like the perfect embodiment of Workaway. He is fun, entertaining, smart, and so many other superlatives. I hope you enjoy having him around as much as I did :)
