Philippe is a wonderful Workaway.
He is very skilled and capable in all areas. Construction and cooking were the main activities he was doing for us.
And he excels at both.
He is very friendly, considerate, thoughtful and tidy. And always willing to help out in any way.
We miss you Phil and look forward to your return.
Safe travels.
