Gonzalo was a wonderful guest and we were sorry to see him go. From the start he was willing to help with anything. He was also very polite and we could not have asked for a better guest.
We feel that after nearly two weeks with us we will remain in touch as friends and have said to him that he will always be welcome to come and stay.

It was an unforgetable experience with them! I had a very very nice stay. I really appreciate their kindness and good humor. Nice cultural exchange. I stayed for almost two weeks and I did some painting and barnishing. My room was incredible! We visited the surroundings and we went to some nice Pubs as well.

Gonzalo was everything you could hope for in a workawayer; skilled, conscientious, clean and tidy and up for whatever work or leisure we had planned. I can't recommend him enough.

It was a fantastic experience with Adam and Pearl in their beautiful house boat! I stayed for 2 weeks. We could carry out many tasks that we planned to do: paint the windows and celling, service the engine, and try to recover an old engine. Besides working we had time off and went climbing and to a gig in Bristol. I had a great time with them!

It was a fantastic stay!. I really enjoy fixing the spare engine of the yatch and with the restoration of his racing yatch. But mostly, the best experience I had was the trip to Isle of Wight. It was spectacular. I learned a lot about marine sailing. Besides Southampton, I visited Plymouth and Portsmouth. We ate several times delicious sea food.… read more

It was fantastic to have Gonzalo with us for a few weeks. From the beginning to end, communication was clear and uncomplicated. He is polite and respectful, and we had many good conversations. He takes on responsibilities in a natural way and has a very practical mindset. It was hard to let him go! We miss him !

It was an unforgettable experience. They are an amazing family. I had such a great time with them and the other Workawayers. During my 2 weeks stay, I prepared the food and feed the animals, installed skirting boards, rendering and crack sealing. We made some trips by car and bike to the shore and some towns/cities. Once I cooked a local dish of… read more

It was a marvelous experience. I stayed for two weeks. Sue's place is wonderful, the best I have been so far. Also the meals that she prepared were delicious. I did many small repairs in the house, worked on the boat and walked Sue's dog (Macy) along the Thames. In my spare time I went to London. But above all I really appreciate the effort she… read more

It was simply wonderful to have Gonzalo living with us. He is fun to be around, attentive, always willing to help out, very independent and above all super skilled. He single handedly built a motor together for one of our vans, and we worked until the late hours to install it: Gonzalo was always up for the job. Without him we would have never got… read more

it was an unforgettable experience. amazing! there is a very well organized team to work with. the activity to work in a ship in the main Berliner river (Spree) was wonderful. i loved once we traveled along the river to resupply the material stock. also the Wartenburg, it is a very interesting place with a vivid life and nice people.
