Description

My wife, Cathy and I are both retired who believe in staying fit through physical labor, helping others and continuously learning about other cultures. Early in our careers we lived in Spain for three years. That experience helped us understand what brings happiness to ourselves and others. It truly has motivated us to join workaway.

Bob and Cathy were excellent Workaways/house sitters. We were only able to spend a couple of days working together before we headed off to complete our Camino de Santiago. We were immediately at ease in their company and confident that our old house was in safe hands.

Bob and Cathy were lovely, generous guests. They were wholly self sufficient and eager to please. Their aim was to be low maintenance guests and in this they succeeded, taking themselves off to discover this region of Spain, and joining us on some trips out or a drink in town. In these cases, it was great to chat with Bob and Cathy who are … read more
