Travelling
Activities we are interested in:
We are traveling with our campervan and looking for new workaway experiences where we can help with DIY/construction, gardening, cooking and/or childcare.
Description
We are a Dutch couple who are currently traveling Europe with our campervan. We are taking a sabbatical and plan on traveling for about a year. Besides traveling we also would like to have more workaway experiences as werewhen we just got together.

We met in an ecovillage in France in 2016, where we stayed for a year. Daniel took responsibility for the vegetable garden (1 hectare). Rivka took care of three children, the chickens and geese, she was cooking as a chef for up to 45 people. After that we went to the Canary Islands where Daniel worked at a windsurfing school and Rivka worked at a hostel via workaway. Then we stayed at two workaway places together, one where a couple needed help repainting their house and one at a starting self-sustaining community.

After those travels Rivka became a primary school teacher and Daniel worked for a vegetable seed company. We did renovations in the two houses we lived in and had different pets and vegetable plots. After about seven years of the "normal" life we got our camper and started our current journey.

Daniele and Rivka stayed with us for more than a month, arriving with their camper, and from the very beginning it felt completely natural to have them as part of our family.

Sharing daily life together, and Christmas with them, was truly special and joyful 🥰

They are both extremely easygoing, respectful and discreet. During the day we shared… read more

You never know what to expect when you go to a workaway host. But this was nothing but a nice surprise. First of all Richard and Theresa were so nice to pick us up from the ferry and drive us to their lovely finca. The accomodation, a small building with bedroom and bathroom next to the chicken coop and the fruit trees exceeded our expectations in… read more

If there is any such thing as perfect Workaway guests then Rivka and Daniel are it. If they apply to stay with you and you turn them away then you are mad!!! They work above and beyond what is asked of them, are courteous, knowledgeable, articulate and all with a sense of humour. The only thing I regret is that their travel schedule meant they… read more

Staying at this hostel was a great and intense experience! Fran and both Carloses (Father and son) are amazingly sweet people, who trust and appreciate us as part of the staff. Which is amazing, not everybody remembers to show their appreciation, but they sure do!
Work is variated, three different shifts and than one day off, so you only have to… read more
