More details about your skills
I am not perfect in any skill, but there is nothing I can not do. I am patient and eager in learning new stuff. I am good with kids, I work hard if needed and I am social. I am good at following orders but when there are open talks about the plan, I enjoy thinking together, helping with ideas, for getting there.

I have done a lot of gardening around the globe and organizing and cleaning are two other things that I am confident and enthusiastic about.

Stan arrived with so open heart, very simple life, we connected easily and was so beautifull to have him in this project. It is precious to meet him, he gave lot of love, work and patience here. Also shared nice vegan recipes to help us continue with this diet. It is beautifull to find someone who you can share work and also silence, or playing,… read more

I was sincerely sad to leave! I could see myself stay longer there. Vale and Bruno are two loving people. Very open minded, in the true meaning of the word. Life was very relaxed in their cozy self-build house. We ate together and had many great talks. I always felt very comfortable with them. They are very flexible and you need to have the… read more

Dear Stan,
And I told you we could be your first workaway where you would stay two months. But you went to Brazil with Corona paranoia everywhere.
We are living a big transformation worldwide these days. I know you will be fine because you seem to have your heart in the right place and you are intelligent. Good combination.
I love how honest and… read more

Oh, what a lovely time I had. I want to thank the whole group! Mauri, Janne and the three little wonders and Gorda and Lau with their curious and social Lucas. And of course the most lovely dogs! The atmosphere is very relaxed. Work and free-time overflow. You might like that, you might not. They are very flexible. The food is partly from their… read more

This reference is long, long overdue, but they deserve the 5 stars. Note, however, that this reference is still from the time they lived in Waiheke.

When I send Tom and Yvette a request, she warned me that the times were a bit stressful because of moving houses. She was right, from time to time there was some tension. But can't say she didn't… read more

Stan arrived with a bevy of young Spanish ladies he had seemed Pied Piper like to have gathered behind him during his travels. Contrary to all expectations they turned out to be very good workers, Rucio left a mountain of weeds, bamboo and fresh planted lawns behind her, and Nerea left us some excellent paintings that will grace our walls and site… read more

Really great to have Stan stay. He has a great work ethic and did so much valuable work around the home and garden, including jobs that have needed doing for ages now including fixing door handles, making a raised bed, clearing the garden and more. He also is very trustworthy, conscientious and easy to have around the home. He came at such a busy… read more

Stan is a wonderful person and very efficient worker. He will always find himself tasks to make sure he is making the most of his time as a volunteer and will do his best to fulfill the tasks he has been asked to do, and very often he will even do it better than is expected of him. Stan is a hands-on person with a very healthy curiosity, loves… read more

I stayed here more than a month and had an excelent time. The family is just extremly wonderful. They are friendly, open, really generous, very helpful and grateful, which is the best motivation to work. The work is satisfying and helping tourists is really rewarding, as it just brings your mood up.
The place is a business and they don't hide that… read more
