Description
We left our careers in May 2018 to travel the world and give back as much as we can. We both have engineering degrees and have worked in our respective fields for about 8 years. We love to travel and can't wait to spend more time seeing the world and learning as much as we can. We spent a lot of our time in college volunteering with Engineers Without Borders and are excited to find new opportunities to get involved with communities and share what we can with the people we meet. We have a travel blog where you can learn a little more about us! https://www.adventure4good.com/

We had an amazing time staying with and working with Peter and his family. The work is fairly easy and very fair. If you are in a couple, one of you will clean the bungalows and the other will do general maintenance. The cleaning of the bungalows can take anywhere between 2-4 hours per day depending on how dirty the guests are but it's pretty easy… read more

We stayed at the restaurant/farm for almost 7 weeks and had an amazing time! The work is very laid back and usually consists of cutting grass or weeding vegetables in the garden. Nico is an amazing host and will help you find fun things to do in the area and if you coordinate your days off with him sometimes he will even take you to see some local… read more

We volunteered for 9 weeks in September/October 2018 and had an amazing time. The work is hard but rewarding and you can even cool off with a dip in the newly refinished swimming pool! We met life changing friends and had experiences that we couldn't have ever imagined. If you are going to work here you should expect to spend time living and… read more

Left by host (Help us with some basic ...) for Workawayer (Kris & Kim)

Kris and Kim were a pleasure to host. Besides being intelligent, hardworking and happy people, they can also work without direction. They took it upon themselves to repair or improve projects that were needing help. The dogs loved having the two of them walk them. They are very good people to have around. I would host them again if I could. Please… read more

We had a great time during our month stay with Ron and Janet! We walked the dogs every day and helped out with various projects around the property. They have a cozy (private) guest house with blazing fast internet (20mbps) and it's all right across from the beach. They are great people who know how to enjoy life! Looking forward to keeping in… read more
