I am happy if I get an hour for my daily yoga-practice. Although I am very aware of my inner silence and peace I can be very funny and childish if it is appropriate. I love snorkeling and warm weather. I am very reliable! If there are things to explore and enjoy around I am happy to stay a longer time at one place.

I had three wonderful days and nights on the farm. As experienced travellers they know what makes a small but important difference: A big nice towel was on the bed, I could do my laundry, sleep in in the morning... Work differs every day and is mostly physical exercice as you are on a Farm. I did some lawn mowing, cleaned the pool, some gardening,… read more

Lucia est toujours contente d'apprendre de nouvelles taches. Sa capacité d'adaptation est étonnante, bien qu'il semblerai qu'elle n'y etait pas préparée de par la parfaite éducation recue , Lucia est capable de vivre simplement pendant trois semaines sans se plaindre du manque d'intimité de nos maisons tropicales ouvertes ou de confort à… read more l'européenne, ce qui est une qualité appréciable lorsqu'on choisi de rester chez l'habitant dans nos îles au milieu du pacifique sud.
Chez Lucia l'empathie est naturelle, la conversation riche et agréable et deux heures de travail par jours ou même plus sous le soleil ne lui font pas peur, au contraire il semblerai qu'elle aprécie le travail en extérieur. D'une humeur calme tout au long de son séjour, j'ai particulièrement été touché par l'aide personnelle apportée à mes travaux, ses suggestions toujours utiles et pas seulement ; de l'expérience que j'en ai eut pendant ces trois semaines "vous pouvez compter sur Lucia jusqu'au bout" pour vous accompagner tout au long de votre développement personnel, son expérience et la pratique quotidienne du yoga faisant partie intégrante de la bienveillance salutaire qu'elle saura, je vous le souhaite, prodiguer dans votre entourage pour peu qu'elle en soit encouragé dans ce sens ; Autrement, elle saura rester parfaitement discrète et à sa place chez vous.

Lucia is always happy to learn new skills. Her ability to adapt is astonishing, although it seems she was not prepared by the perfect education received, Lucia is able to live simply for three weeks without complaining about the lack of privacy of our tropical homes open or comfort to the European, which is an appreciable quality when you choose to stay at home in our islands in the middle of the South Pacific.
As Lucia, empathy is natural, the conversation is rich and pleasant and two hours of work a day or even more under the sun do not scare her, on the contrary it seems that she apreciates work outdoors. In a calm mood throughout his stay, I was particularly touched by the personal help given to my work, his suggestions always useful and not only; from the experience I had during these three weeks "you can count on Lucia to the end" to accompany you throughout your personal development, experience and the daily practice of yoga as an integral part of benevolence salutary that it will know, I wish you, to lavish in your entourage as long as it is encouraged in this direction; Otherwise, she will remain perfectly discreet and in her place at home.

Lucky me I spent three weeks on Moorea with Abee, three weeks in Paradise. Is Moorea paradise? To answer this question you need cultural insights which I got through our talks - mostly in the evening when we went to see the sunset together on the dinghy or on the boat.
As working hours are limited (2-3h/day) you can explore the island every day -… read more nearby beach, snorkelling, enjoy the beautiful garden and landscape. As I like to have my daily Yoga practice in the morning, Abee kindly suggested that we start at 10:00 which suited me perfectly.
The tasks will never be the same as described by the previous Workawayer - there are a lot of things to fix, repair, do....and we are proceeding successfully!
When I arrived I had no tent with me and there was even no place for a matress on the floor. But Abee accepted me anyway - I believe, he will never send anyone away. You need to be prepared to adapt yourself to the situation. So in my case, from the first day we worked on clearing the second floor and soon I had a little space to sleep there. During 3 weeks we managed to transform the second floor 100%.
Plus I learned all steps from coconuts falling from the palms to coconut oil and how to make your own cheese.
Also there are always some leaves that fall off the trees and need to be collected from the garden.
So things are changing constantly. What will stay always is the kindness of Abee. He is an absolutely trustable person who loves to share his passion for the sea, the cultural exchange and will give you good advices for your free time. Abee is open hearded , always trying to understand different cultures and behaviours.
The only day off is usually Sunday, but in case you need another day you just ask. No stress.
To go to the next super-U I was hitchhiking which is very usual and safe in Moorea.
I enjoyed the quiet place a lot. Time for reading, yoga, relaxing...
To give you an idea of the budget needed: coconuts and drinking water are always free. I spent on an everage 5,- Euros a day for food but you can easily try with less (and more if you cannot life without buying cheese which is really expensive here!!;)).
Internet is working and you can use it for free which is a real luxury in French Polynesia.
So thank you a lot, Abee, for « everything « . If my journeys make it possible, I’d love to come and stay and help and talk and enjoy the silence again :)

During my stay at the hostel, I had a wonderful time in Pondocherry thanks to Sudeesh and his team. I was teaching the early morning yoga class on the rooftop, the rooftop is suitable for up to 8 participants. The whole hostel is very well maintained, breakfast delicious and in case I am in Pondicherry again, I will stay here again - either as… read more

I spent two very interesting weeks on the farm. As I grew up and lived in a big city I could experience new fields of working and the tasks were of a wide variety : feeding ostriches with about 30 packages of food (each 20 Kilos, has to be done every day) and giving them water; feeding the pet areas with many different animals ; priming and… read more

Luci is a great salsa teacher and she also did some good classes for our guests but should say she has her own agenda behind the curtains and she is very lucrative in evading tasks which are allocated to her by giving various excuses. So if you are looking for a dedicated yet a committed workawayer I would think twice about Luci. Also make sure… read more

I liked: very nice and friendly hosts, good vibes, evening activities at the hostel, always someone there to Play Music together, Play Chess or Share a Beer. Very clean place, no traffic noise from the street.
Common activities were sometimes organized (Go to parties, cocktail happy hours).
