I spent two weeks with Henrique and his family. I felt really welcome from the first day. Even if we didn't always agree, I had excellent conversations with Henrique. Lucia was an excellent cook and looked after us very well in the evenings. The work wasn't hard, but it wasn't boring either. Every day there was something different and Henrique… read more

Michkel stayed with us on a very special week as both we as hosts and him as workawayer suffered from covid. In spite of this Michkel showed us a great will to work whenever he had the strength to do so. He helped us a lot in the garden, joined us in putting up a scaffold and did preparation for painting and maintaining our house. He also cooked a… read more

Anne-Beth and Leif are super friendly and helpful hosts. Unfortunately we all got Corona, but they dealt with it very well and I always felt that I was in good hands. They have a big beautiful house and live in a very beautiful area. I would come back anytime!

My stay with Sossa and Geir was great! I've always felt welcome, the work was great, and the food was some of the best I've ever had from a host. Thanks again for that! There are numerous ways to spend your free time in this area. From hiking to fishing, everything is there. Anyone who loves home-brewed beer is in good hands here. I would… read more

Ann and Kex were perhaps the best hosts I have ever had. They are super friendly, open-hearted and you can have a lot of good and informative conversations. You could organize the work yourself and was therefore never tied to fixed days. Kex is an excellent chef and offers very healthy and tasty dishes. Despite the long work, Ann always tried to… read more

Michkel is a kind, uncomplicated and polite person. He is self-confident but also tolerant. Michkel stayed 2 weeks at our place and among other projects red-painted one of our bigger wooden buildings by himself. He was motivated and anxious to complete a project he started: a good worker! He is easygoing and we had a great time while playing… read more

The time with Yge, Christel and their children passed very quickly. There was always something to do and I never got bored. The work was fair and there were never any problems. I had nice conversations with Yge every day, during work or in the evening with a beer. The accommodation was basic but good and clean. All in all I can only recommend this… read more

In two weeks Michkel dug out a trampoline, trimmed all the blackberrybushes, filled up the holes in the driveway, mowed all the fields and cleaned up a lot of the garden. He has done a lot of work in two weeks. He is a responsible, independent, friendly, hardworking guy. Other than that it was very nice talking with him and playing boardgames… read more

Michael was here for a week. We are so grateful for his help. He did a lot of hard physical work. Carrying wood, moving around furniture, digging holes for planting trees and so on. He communicated perfectly and was working effectively. We wish him all the best on the rest of his journey.

I spent a wonderful week with Anna and her two daughters. Anna was very hospitable, open and friendly. The work was varied and fun. There was enough food and the accommodation was also very good. You always had enough privacy and peace. I would recommend staying with this host to anyone. :)

Mike and Robyn were my first hosts. It was a wonderful and varied time. I worked with Mike in the garden in the mornings (8-12:30) and the rest of the day was free. There are numerous activities to do in the area. You don't have to worry about the food, as Robyn and Mike are excellent chefs. All in all, I can only recommend this host. Thank you… read more

Michkel worked with us for eight days. He was a great help on our garden development project. While on the job he paid attention to detail; worked hard with enthusiasm; completed all tasks effectively. Michkel was fun to have here. He has a dry wit and fine sense of humour. He is very tidy in the house and respectful in every way. We were his… read more
