Description
I retired early in order to do the things I want to do and to help other people to fulfill their dreams by helping them just a little bit. Being a Workaway helps me to reach both.

Tom & Lux the Weimaraner stayed for three weeks. He is a kind, hard-working and skilled guy that is pleasure to be around. He did really great work improving three old external doors, this included very tedious chipping out of old filler that had been used instead of putty.

Me and my dog Lux had the privilege of staying with Joyce and Gary for three weeks. These weeks have flown by. The work was fine, Joyce and Gary are very flexible. Lassay les Chateaux environment and Normandy are beautiful. Enough different places in the area to visit, to go to a market or to walk or cycle. Also for a bit of historical awareness,… read more

This individual was and is a perfect example of a good workaway. His attitude is perfect. He wanted to work hard and did so with humour and intelligence. He was the best houseguest who appreciated the food and company the family was able to share with him. He and his beautiful companion Lux were a joy to be with from the moment they arrived to… read more
