Description
We are delighted to be able to turn our host programme into a travel offer for another year from August. Whether it's manual work, childcare, cooking or gardening, we can pass on a wide range of experience and enjoy visiting ecological projects that we can reach with our lorry. We love meeting interesting people and their projects, and with our experience we can contribute in many ways and look forward to learning new things! Sabine is a primary school teacher and enjoys helping in the garden. Uwe is a craftsman/building biologist/experiential educator and a showman at medieval markets. As a trained painter and long-time roofer and waterproofing technician, he has also acquired knowledge of ecological materials as a natural building materials dealer.
It`s not just on days wehn Uwe`s knees are not feeling well due to overexertion that he like to do the vegan/vegetarian cooking for all. Sabine particularly enjoys baking. As former restaurateurs, we also have the necessary experience. We travel with our dog Manu and like to sleep in our converted lorry if there is no better place on site ;-). Uwe has a hard time with English, but Spanish somehow always works for both of us

It was lovely having Uwe and Sabine over for a few days. They came last minute, on their way to Portugal and had three, luckily warm days with me on my finca. As they travelled in their own Bob Marley truck, they parked in the village, but came every morning to help out, have lunch, a hot shower, do some laundry and share my homemade wine and nice… read more

We had a very communicative time with Petra. We made wood together, worked in the garden and cooked together. She always went out of her way to make us feel at home.
Thank you for the short but intensive time.

In a wonderful city there is a wonderful place where a wonderful woman lives. In the short time that we were able to help Amalia, we were able to get to know a dear person who generously shared her wonderful place with us. We can wholeheartedly recommend this place and wish everyone else such a wonderful stay.

The “guest monastery” run by Spyhros in the mountains is truly a beautiful, mystical place. But bring helmets, the doors are really low ;-! For people who love solitude and are good at taking care of themselves, or who want to work all day, this is just the right place. Spyhros is an open-minded, nice and above all very linguistic host with a lot… read more

Sabine and Uwe stayed five days with us and their presence was a real gift. Uwe is a real craftsman that helped with a lot of small tasks, like painting, sharpening tools, closing holes on the roof or finding solutions for humidity issues in rooms. Sabine cleaned the whole place single handed and improved various stuff, like sewing the curtains.… read more

Unfortunately, our lorry was too big to be in the immediate vicinity of Frank and Merel. Nevertheless, we will remember the few days we spent helping in a positive light. Good food, varied work, friendly dogs, cute chicks and nice people welcome you there!

Unfortunately we only had one day in transit to get to know the project of the two. But we were warmly welcomed and generously entertained. There are a lot of projects where helpers can let off steam depending on their skills. Can imagine to come back again. Until then we wish you many helpers and a good time !!!

In the right place at the right time! Natalie and Ricco have become dear to our hearts and have been able to win us over as friends with their open-minded, cheerful nature. Starting with the good organic food, the warm and clean guest room (during the still cold days) to community activities left nothing to be desired. We look forward to seeing… read more

We are grateful for the three weeks we were allowed to spend with Lisa! A beautiful place, a beautiful house, a wonderful hostess who has generously fed us and also let us get to know a bit of the cultural life of this unique place (Ogiva). Lisa has lived here for 19 years, and has recommended us in the ample free time great excursions. Again and… read more

We had a wonderful welcome to Spain and a nice time out in this quiet place Mas sant Nikolau and the landscape. Helen and Francis are very, very friendly. They help you with everything you like. We really love the helpful advises of Francis about the surrounding areas and towns.
