Description
We are a family from Switzerland. We have three children (born 2018, 2021 & 2023). When Philipp and I traveled in 2014 - 2016 to China and back, we did a lot of workaway and we loved it.
Our first workaway experience as a family was back in 2020, when our oldest son was 2. We stayed for 5 weeks in Sicily with a family. We helped building their house and did some work in the garden. That was a lovely experience as well.

We are very flexible, open-minded and ready to work. We are looking for a family friendly place. On our trips we often worked in farming and became very interested in Permaculture. Back home, Philipp works as a Secondary School teacher and I am an author and filmmaker.

We both speak English, German, a little French and Italian. Philipp also speaks Portuguese and I speak spanish. We both want to improve our Italien!

Anita and Philipp with their little "Dodo" are a beautiful family that we had the pleasure of hosting for over a month. In that period our house became like a kindergarten and a laboratory, but it was never tiring! The children had a lot of fun, we had serious and stable help in the work and in the management of the house and the children, and… read more

Des and Chris hosted us for almost three weeks in their beautiful and comfortable place amidst endless olive tree plantations. We enjoyed their pleasant company. They have a good sense of humor and they are very easy to get along with. The work was varied. Some weeding, digging and building walls. We enjoyed it a lot. We had plenty of free time to… read more

We have just said 'goodbye' to this super Swiss couple, who stayed with us for almost 3 weeks - during which time they carried out mumerous tasks for us which have helped us enormously!
They both have a great attitude to life and work, always positive and cheerful - and simply great company!
We would love to have them back again in the future,… read more

After travelling for 19 months the experience at this place will stand out. There is Martin, a true and unforgettable character, that you must love, despite of the shit he might give you, and Minjee, the tough lady of the house, that sings beautiful songs while milking the cows. There are the cutest little goats that can give you a nice back… read more

thank you so much Lin and Sarah and the whole family for making us feel at home. We enjoyed the stay on the farm, the work and the cooking and the food and meeting the other volunteers. The tennis and football playing were amazing!

Annelie and Ali were amazing. If you speak german, Ali will make you laugh a lot, but I guess he can also do that in other languages. The work was nice and not too hard. The place is right at the beach and very beautiful. We enjoyed to spend time in the restaurant with the guests and the lovely staff. We have the best memories of our stay and we… read more

Anita and Philipp are great people. We have been very happy to host them and spend time with them. They are fun to be with, curious about life and people, very easy going and also so interesting to talk to. They did work very good at our place, mainly painting work but also did the dishwashing and never complained about anything. Also our staff… read more

Anita and Philippe are great people, very friendy, fun, hard working. We all enjoyed their stay here very much. They re independent and mature, you don't really need to tell what needs to be done. They just see the work and do it. We all liked them very much and our baby and animals also loved them. Hope they visit us again in near future.
