Description
We’re starting a new chapter in our lives. We want to travel but dislike being tourists. We are drawn to smaller quieter places that are close to nature. Our experiences in life up to this point have given us skills and hobbies that we love to share. Cooking, construction, gardening, animal care (pets and livestock), catering, and event planning are some of the things we have a good amount of experience with. We are very self-reliant and enjoy working on our own. Living simply and sustainably is a passion of ours and we get excited about helping others who share those values. In our short time doing this - helping strangers achieve their goals - we have formed new friendships, found new skills, and been given new understanding of how we can live. We want more of that.

What can I say! Kevin and Ella finished many outstanding projects and completed new ones! They worked hard through them seamlessly (with our limited tools!) ⚒️ come rain or shine.

We spent a month with Rachel, Chris, Elliot, and Oliver and their wonderful animals. Of their menagerie Ivory the chicken, Shadow the three-legged dog, Joey the cat, and Jaque the horse became close companions of ours. They made it very hard to say goodbye.

Home for the month was a renovated pigeoneer — one of those charming old stone towers you… read more

It was great having Kevin and Ella staying at our place in the forest. They were self sufficient and hard working and although we didn’t see much of them as we were so busy on our other projects it was wonderful to know they were just able and capable to just get on with the tasks at hand and to enjoy their time on our little plot of paradise .… read more

It is as advertised. “Off grid living near the coast on the stunning island of Hvar” - could not be a more accurate description of what we found here.

Approximately 5 kms from Stari Grad, down dirt roads, through the ancient Greek agricultural lands, you will arrive at a place that feels like your own private oasis. Here, you’ll find a quiet… read more

Ella and Kevin brought their whole hearts to our little community, and we can’t overstate how deeply we appreciated their presence. They arrived at a time when we were really under the gun—juggling a lot with limited capacity—and they immediately stepped in with care, enthusiasm, and a sense of purpose that felt like a breath of fresh air.

We had a wonderful time with Matt and Christine. This was our first Workaway and we are so grateful that Matt and Christine were our first hosts. They are down to earth and accommodating people. What an amazing couple and project they are working on. They welcomed us into their family and home with open arms and allowed us to get a glimpse of how… read more
