What else ...
I have been using Workaway for years and I have learned so many different skills from each opportunity. I ran reception and the bar at a hostel in Portugal, stayed with a couple in Scotland and maintained their Airbnb guest cottage and looked after their home, and spent a few weeks on a sheep/cow farm in North Iceland, feeding and cleaning up after the animals three times a day, and I've assisted with 400+ goat births. I absolutely loved all of these jobs and I cant wait to learn more and use these skills as I continue my travels!

I miss this wonderful family and farm so much! I only had three weeks available to work on the farm, and I so wish I could have stayed longer. I got there right as kidding season started so my days were full with baby goat births, and every single one was such an amazing experience to be a part of. I learned how to help deliver a baby goat from… read more

We truly enjoyed Kelly's two week stay with us! She is a fast learner and quickly became a real help in the milking parlor and in the cheese make room. She showed an interest in every aspect of the farm and eagerly helped with anything and everything. She proved herself to be an asset to our farm at a time when we definitely needed the help.… read more

I had the best two weeks here! Lesley and Barry and this wonderful farm are the perfect example of what Workaway is about. They were so patient in teaching me everything and making sure I got to experience every part of the day to day life here. They are the type of people you can truly be yourself around, and that's a very relaxing feeling. Just… read more

Kelly was great to host, she has so much enthusiasm for life and the house was fun with her here. She worked hard on our projects in the house and garden and is very practical.
Together we rearranged our Pantry and made wooden boxes to organize everything.
Kelly made great (salty!) popcorn to eat whilst watching movies.
Apart from the work we… read more

I miss this family! I had the best time in this lovely and cozy home, in gorgeous Loch Lomond. Michael and Nolwenn made me feel right at home, I learned so many new skills and they were very patient while teaching me. I will miss cooking delicious and worldly dinners with Nolwenn, visiting distilleries with Michael, pub quizzes, whiskey in the hot… read more

I had such an amazing couple of weeks on this farm! The location couldnt be more beautiful, in the heart of wild Iceland. I miss going on hikes up the mountain with their wonderful dog Bangsï, feeding the baby calves, bulls, and cows, and learning so much about farming with such a warm, generous, and funny family. It was wonderful getting to know… read more

Happy days! :) I was lucky enough to spend two and a half months working in this gorgeous hostel with the most amazing people, in the fairy-tale town. It became such a home to me and I miss everyone so much! The memories and friendships I made here will last a lifetime. A million thanks to Marcelo and Pedro for this incredible experience, and big… read more
