  • Description

    We are Micky and Frankie, we joined Workaway last year and spent an amazing winter living in the most remote part of mainland UK and the Outer Hebrides.

    So far we have met some lifelong friends and made some amazing memories, working on a fresh produce farm, prepping their polytunnels and at Callanish alpacas where we worked on a family run charity farm looking after a range of animals that were rehomed, rehabilitated and rescued. We were also looking after birds of prey and other general farm livestock.

    Our next adventure was back in England, working at an equestrian centre in Milton Keynes, this was a massive culture shock to say the least! We stayed there for 6 weeks until we were offered a full time job on an intense milking farm In the heart of Devon.

    We have been here 6 months now but we are now more than ready to go back to finding our work through this app. We would be interested in both short and long placements and can put our hands to most things thrown our way.

    We can’t wait to meet more amazing people, learn and live our dream of embracing different lifestyles, cultures and communities.
    We like to think of ourselves as a very happy, high energy, positive couple that get along well with anyone we meet.

    Thank you for taking the time to read about us, we really hope we fit the requirements needed to come and give you a hand.
