Description
Hello! We're Diego and Sonia, from Spain. A couple looking for a new adventure, know more about Australia and share the experience with amazing people. We're very easy-going and hard-working, always with a smile and a positive attitude and organized.

We love nature and animals, eating new food and also share spanish meals (paella, tortilla de patatas...) sooo yummy, playing board games and in general, talking and sharing experiences.

SONIA:
Positive, open-minded and creative are good words to describe myself. I love travelling and meeting people all over the world, cooking, dancing and animals (dogs, sheep, rabbits, goats, ducks...). I have experience in business, social media and digital marketing. Also I've been au pair three times in Ireland and Australia and I worked in summer camps. Some experience in hospitality and after my last two workaway experiences, I'm in love with animals and farms. After a break in Spain, I'm very excited to be back in Australia with Diego and continue travelling in this amazing country :)

DIEGO:
Curious, I have always said that traveling makes me happy. I love meeting new people, sharing experiences with others and Sonia told me that Australia is an amazing place to do it! I am engineer and I have experience in different sectors, as business, agri-food, logistics and finance. I have experience with domestic animals and countryside tasks. Also, I like fixing things at home, carpentry and crafts. I'm really excited to share this experience with Sonia. Australia is fascinating and discovering it together will be unforgettable!

Thanks!

We have been with Rob and Petra for a week in Sydney and has been so good. The neighborhood is amazing, with Bondi Junction 10 min walk and Bronte, Tamarama and Bondi beach very close. Petra and Rob are very friendly and explained us lots of things to do around. We help in the house 20h/week in different tasks (cleaning the entrance, gardening,… read more

Sonia visited us for a month and what a fun month it was! Sonia brings happiness and laughter to every day. She was confident feeding the animals and was willing to help in whatever chores needed to be completed. It was easy to see what a love of animals Sonia has, from picnicking with the goats to dodging Dora’s (a goat) bossy attitude! Sonia was… read more

Staying with Cynthia and John has been amazing! I went for two weeks and finally stay a month (and could have been longer haha). I learnt so much about the animals, live in the farm, gardening... And also about Australia and new yummy meals that Cynthia cooked. The daily routine was good, feeding the animals and helping in other tasks, and then… read more

Sonia is skilled in many areas and she helped me with domestic chores, household organisation, gardening and childcare. She approached everything she did with good humour and efficiency. I really enjoyed having Sonia… read more

Sonia was with us for three weeks and we can confirm she is absolutely fantastic! Very hardworking, enthusiastic, smiling, with lots of positive energy and 100 % good attitude to work. She fed our animals: sheep, donkeys and chickens every day and collected eggs from the henhouse. She enjoyed this job and she did it with passion. She also has… read more

First time in a farm for 3 weeks and the experience has been amazing! I already missed them. Aneta and Marcin are very nice and polish food so yummy. I was with another workawayer (Lou), which is nice because the farm is in the countryside. We fed the animals twice a day and then help in the farm projects, not difficult but hard sometimes. Not… read more

Thanks Anthea for this two weeks! The house is amazing and if you want to know the rural area of Donegal, this is a good place. Anthea is a lovely person, she gives you everything you need and also let you independance for yourself (in my case, starting a new digital project, was ideal). About the work, there're so many different things to do, not… read more

Amazing two weeks with Patricia! She's an active woman, always ready to show you lovely places on Westport or surrounding areas or teach you English (also so patient). About the tasks I did, it was about gardening and help with IT. Not hard but very funny and motivated. Hope to come back in summer and see you again, thanks a million Patricia ☺️
