Anna was a really wonderful person to share life with.

She helped us in so many different ways, with our garden, sheep, doing carpentry work, and even creating a huge sculpture in stone.
She loves to help and her work… read more

This place is amazing! Astonishing landscape, lovely animals and exiting people to be around. Some of the sheeps are so tame they believe they are humans. And Tito, the cat with the blue eyes, came by every day for a snack and some attention.
If you need to get away from stress and bustle, this is the place!

I can highly recommend Anna as an excellent workawayer. She helped me out a lot in my property, not only doing the mosaik, also the laundry, fixing furniture, looking after my animals and she was so nice with my kids. If I asked her for help, she immediately helped *thumps up* :)

Anne was more than what we could ever expect from a workawayer......she is very talented and all around an awesome person. We would love to have her back anytime. She made a great contribution to our project in the short amount of time that she stayed with us. Would highly recommend her as a workawayer.
