What else ...
We are a very fun couple who likes to adventure on trips. We traveled throughout Argentina. We traveled on November 27, 2023 to Austria, Vienna and from there we will go to Croatia (We have no preferences for the place). Luis is currently processing his Croatian citizenship and we want to learn the culture and language. We are looking for a job or activity so we can stay more than 3 months (the time available for tourists) so we would like to be able to help you and stay more than 3 months if you would like. We are very healthy and athletic, we have no vices and we love animals. We like to spend time with our families, cook together and talk for hours at the table. Luis usually works a lot, he likes to work a lot and he is a person who wants to grow and develop. Lourdes loves music, she studied 3 years at university so she can teach you how to sing and play instruments. We are both 22 years old and we look forward to sharing quality time with you.

Left by Workawayer (Luis & Lourdes) for host (Help around our family home ...)

We apologized for not writing this before! We spent a month with Davroin, Marina (his partner) and Gora (his daughter). They are a lovely and working family. You will listen to music all day (we love that). We woke up at 7-8am and we had breakfast together at 8:30/9. After that, we (all) work hard, and in the afternoon we were free (about… read more 15/16pm).
We wanted to say that it’s a lie that they didn’t have hot water in the shower; they have SUCH a hot water.
We were there in the winter season, but they gave us all we needed to be warm in the day and at night (they gave us warm clothes, blankets, heaters, gloves, shoes, etc). Really, almost we didn’t use our clothes, and we didn’t be cold. They prepared for us a nice caravan, where we comfortably slept and stayed there in resting times. We felt part of their family. Lourdes used to work with Marina, and Luis with Davorin.
Davorin is a good team worker and he taught all Luis didn’t know how to do. We spent mostly of our time in the garage fixing cars. I continued a stone wall, I cut, collected and saved in a box woods, I did gardening too, and we cut down neighbor’s trees. I’m a programmer, so Davorin got for me a modem so I can work better, and he gave me the time to do it. He didn’t tell me how many hours I had worked or complained about the hours I had done. They (Davorin and Marina) didn’t bother with that. We helped as much as could and they were thankful about it. We chose the option to work 5 hours per day and rest 2 (they complied with the agreed, we didn’t have problems with it).
Marina is an excellent cooker, singer and cleaner. We cleaned different parts of the house (downstairs kitchen and bathroom, blinds, our caravan, etc), and we cooked lunch and baked desserts. I learnt a lot of Hrvatska's recipies, and we (Luis and I) both tried some traditional food. It was so funny for me, and I enjoyed that too much. We went for a walk every day with Gora, they had beautiful landscapes, and a really fresh air. Gora is an adorable girl, she loves to eat, listen to music and dance. It’s true that she didn’t speak, but you’ll understand what she wants to say with her moves, faces and sounds. That thing isn’t a hindrance, we developed a good relationship, I took care of her and she showed me her affection.
They took us to the beach (in Rabac), and we went to Pula too, we discovered that nice and historic city. Marina invited us to go to her concert, and we went to Rijeka and enjoyed that amazing show. They really took care of us and they gave us all we needed to be comfortable and happy with them. Also, Davorin bought a lot of food for us (some things that we wanted), and they always asked what was missing. They were super gentle and pleasant with us.
We improved our English and learnt some words in Croatian. We taught them a little more of Spanish. We were housekeepers for 5 days when they weren’t home, and we took care of their lovely cats (it wasn’t a job for us). They trusted us and they could enjoy their trip. We had a really good first workaway experience with them and I hope we will see each other soon! Puno hvala for everything and vidimo se!

(Excellent )
