Can't recommend Alain and Danèle more as hosts for anyone looking to visit Paris! We remain good friends to this day.
Alain has very clear instructions, including what's the task, how to do the task, how long, what days of the week, on the work. There is plenty of free time for myself, or to explore the neighbourhood (it's a very cute little… read more

Where to start?! Arantxa and Juan are very welcoming from day one - and explained their expectations very clearly. They are very generous in sharing their history and cultural knowledge, and cooking local food together. I enjoyed spending time with their kids playing board games or coming up with games for learning English - they are very keen to… read more

I really recomend her to any… read more

I call Isa y Alex mi familia Española de Madrid! Alex is very bright, curious, articulate and expressive - he loved to share/teach his interest in prehistory, quirky things that make him laugh or dance around, and building things (he was working on a wooden boat). For our lessons he was able to learn quickly and enjoyed it more when there are… read more

An incredible and memorable month with Verónica and Axel - plus their four legged family members - it went by too fast! They love these animals very much and have clear written instructions to help bring me up to speed on their names and each of their quirks. The five cats do their own thing but the 3 black and white kitties (Vero, Mini and Floky)… read more

It has been an absolute pleasure to have Qi stay and help me on the Finca. She is intelligent, energetic, honest, good company with an interesting background and culture. While we enjoyed working on the farm together, we had enjoyable times talking while Qi made interesting healthy tasty meals. Qi is very considerate, always ready to do some… read more

This was my first Workaway - very memorable experience! Wes was warm and welcoming from the get-go. He is an expert about caring for nature and loves to share his knowledge about the land and various plants including the olive trees on the farm. Really enjoyed sharing stories and hearing Wes' tips on life over home cooked meal - we had fun with… read more
