Description

We are very energetic, calm and hardworking Japanese couple;)

We would like to travel to various places around the world, learn about healthy and sustainable living, natural farming, cultures, the environment, and enjoy various sports!

We already have a variety of experience through Workaway, including carpentry, weeding, tree felling, cleaning, digging holes, harvesting, planting, and painting walls. So, we welcome outdoor work and physical labor. We don't have experience as babysitters, but we love children and playing with them makes us very happy, so we'd be happy to help too!

We are relatively quiet people, and we like to be serious when we work and quiet and relaxed when we're resting.

We had a wonderful time with Jason and Katy. They were very kind, and from the moment we communicated via message, they helped us to make our stay comfortable. Our help was physical labor, but it was something women could do, and it mainly consisted of gardening. Jason gave clear instructions, so it was very easy to work there.

I stayed at their home for two weeks. They were incredibly welcoming and kind!!
My first experience of staying in a New Zealand home was truly wonderful!
My help was with gardening. None of the tasks were difficult, and they always let me work at my own pace. They taught me and provided everything I needed, so I enjoyed working every day.

We are very grateful for your kindness and cooperative attitude. We stayed here for about three weeks. Our main work was digging the soil and weeding. We like to exercise, so we enjoyed that work. There is a wonderful market called Eumundi Market nearby, which we enjoyed very much. We had our own bathroom, living room, and kitchen, so we were very … read more

Ted, Alla and their many dogs are very kind and powerful. We worked on the farm, planting, weeding, tilling the soil, and so on. The farm is very beautiful and the vegetables are growing very well. They gave us a lot of vegetables, herbs, fruits, meat, fish and homemade smoothies. They also gave us money to buy food for a week, which was very … read more

Miku and Shion were absolutely beautiful workaway guests.

Nothing was too difficult for them be it weeding, cutting grass, washing up after dinner and helping out where ever they were needed.

Having their own transport, meant that they were independent in their time off. They enjoyed activities with us but also enjoyed exploring the area by … read more

Our life here was like a paradise. We had breakfast in the beautiful garden, bathed in the sun. Our main tasks were weeding and watering the plants. None of it was difficult, and Maren and Ian were very kind and made sure we didn't get too tired. Swimming in the ocean after helping was very refreshing and a great moment. In the evening, we watched … read more

We had a lot of wonderful experiences at this farm, thanks to Deva and Maha. We could only speak a little English, but they were always kind and caring towards us. It feels so good to spend every day in beautiful nature and live so close to nature, and every day is special. We help for 4 hours a day, painting, sanding, removing vines from the … read more
