Description
After a workaway project in Portugal I decided to settle here and have now been a resident for six years, where I now I have my base. I still have my camper van, and a new addition to the family Rocky, a well behaved and mild mannered dog.

I've decided it is time once again to do some traveling through workaway as for me the cultural exchange is brilliant . I lived on a permaculture farm for 3 years where I built a log cabin, including plumbing and electrics with guidance and help, so my skill base is always growing I'm quite good with a chainsaw and strimmer now, I can turn my hand to most tasks I’m asked to do such as gardening, maintenance, cooking, animal care, painting to name but a few.

However, in the past I have been a professional photographer, website designer, content marketer and social media manager and have very good skills in all these areas. I am hardworking and methodical and if you need something organising, I’m your man.

Generally, I love to help in any way that I can as this buys into my philosophy of PAYING IT FORWARD which I try to do in some small way every day!

I was at Falko and Doreen’s for three months as a workayer and I loved every minute of it. I was treated like one of the family which was great. The work was not that hard and the day’s quite relaxed.

To start with I mainly worked with Falko and another workawayer building an extension to the car port and laying decking for an outside seating and… read more

Sean came to stay with us at the beginning of the year and was here as a workawayer for 3 months. He helped out around the project with many things like planting, strimming, pulling weeds and along with Falko and another workawayer they built a new carport and outside seating area.

Towards the end of his time as a workawayer Sean took care of our… read more

I am still trying to get over Sean leaving us after he lived with us for more than three months. He feels so much like family now, we truly miss his company, his funny jokes and his bear hugs. He inspired me and gave me so many new ideas for great new projects. He helped us set up a couple of websites, update information, get more organized,… read more

WOW! What to say, I spent four months (I think, time slips by so differently there) with a WONDERFUL family!
I spent most of my time with Karin as I was working on creative and business stuff with her. She is very intelligent, caring and supportive person who I hope will allow me to call her friend. I’m sure as she reads through this review she’ll… read more

This first workaway experience was amazing. We all felt blessed to have Sean in our family. He blends in into our family so well and yet he keeps his space, a very pleasant contact.
Sean does an amazing job. He is good at his skills and that was just what we needed, because i have to learn a lot when it comes to computer and internet.

My First ‘Workaway’ …

Wow!

What an amazing experience, right from the first moment I pulled up outside the house and the whole family was there to meet me. The host family are amazing people, very friendly. Mayke is the one who speaks most English (which is a God send as I don’t speak any Dutch, well a little now.) But, still Mutlu,… read more
