Hello,
Since 2016 I live in my tiny house I build myself with help of workaway'ers. I am an open minded guy of 55 years old, gay (and proud on it) and live in the summer in my tiny house and in the winter in Portugal.
My tiny house measures 5 by 6 meters and I have a small shed. It still has to get finished from the outside, so help is always welcome. Also there is a lot of garden work that can be picked up, like weeding and landscaping.

Alojamiento

I offer my hospitality, a bed, a bike and of course nice shared meals
Algo más...
Leiden is centrally located, all major big cities are reachable in 30 minutes by train. Also the beach is close by bike or bus.
The Dutch city of Leiden Holland (Leyden in Dutch) is a picturesque community located in the tulip-growing district in the Netherlands. Home to the oldest university in the country, Leiden features many interesting tourist attractions and a variety of museums and art galleries.

I've been in Jurjen's house for two weeks. I enjoyed working with him and I learned a lot about manual works that i have not previous experience with. However I did not feel good staying with Jurjen. I don't think he has been a very hospitable and friendly person. In complex I didn't enjoy staying with him. I just would like to say that I tried to… read more

I had a very nice time with David! He is open minded, honest, hard working and interested to learn. Apart from his hard work on my project he was a fun guy to hang out with. We had deep conversations of life, but also had fun with my friends and going out in Amsterdam. For David this period was a rollercoaster...due private circumstances he had to… read more

I was with Jurjen for 17 days in his beautiful centric house in Leiden. I helped him with her sustainable house and learnt a lot of interesting things about to build. I have to say Jurjen was very patience with me and taught me to tile despite of my low knowledge im the matter. I'm very happy with my experience and I feel in love with this… read more

I stayed with Jurjen for 3 weeks, worked on two projects; demolishing a garden shed and laying a stone path. He gave me full responsibility on the projects but was there to help when needed and happy for me to ask questions. Jurjen taught me some valuable life lessons that really influenced me in a positive way. I found his little garden project… read more

Jarryd stayed at my place and worked on my project for 12 days, but in these 12 days he proved to be a hard worker, sociable, open and willing to adopt in new situations and culture. Due my own preparations for an upcoming trip and my overfull agenda, I didn´t had the same time as usual to support the work on my project, still he did a very good… read more

Danny is a friendly and hard working guy, which picks up any project and task he is asked. In the first week he was focused on sanding and painting the walls, windows, window frames and interior wood, after that he picked up the project to install and finish the ´deck´ of my veranda, a responsibility he picked up with much dedication and… read more

It was a pleasure to be involved in jurjen's fantastic garden house project and thanks to his knowledge and patience I've learnt a great deal in the two weeks I spent there! Jurjen is a great host, friendly and hospitable (and an excellent cook!!), I wish him all the best with the completion of the project!!

Kate is a very warm and open and curious person. I only had the pleasure of hosting her for a long weekend, but in these 4 days we had a great time together. She worked hard in the garden and was not afraid to get her hands dirty (although she didn´t really liked the rain). It was a pleasure to have me at my place and she is always welcome to… read more

It was a wonderful weekend working with Jurjen. He is always willing to teach me, help me and share his life, even though I know nothing and always ask so many questions. It was great that he brought me to the market, afternoon tea, gym and meet his neighbor. I could really feel the Dutch lifestyle. He is also very considerate, very friendly,… read more

I had a really good month helping Jurjen with his garden house. I learnt a lot of new DIY skills, and the work is very satisfying as you can see the results of a day’s work. Jurjen gave me the confidence to “lead” the project of completing the kitchen. He was incredibly patient and forgiving as I had no experience of doing this kind of work… read more

Gary helped me on my project for a period of 3,5 weeks. He was a great helper, accurate, thinking about the best solutions and alert of the things to be done. He was eager to learn new skills and picking it up fast. We primarily worked on fitting a second hand kitchen, that had to be customized to make it fit. In this work Gary helped with… read more

I never thought that the 2 weeks would run so fast. The experience with Jurjen my host, helping finish install the walls and ceilings, having great meals together with friends, small talks after dinner and great Dutch culture make me want to stay longer than 2 weeks. It is never enough if you are really having some good times specially if the host… read more

Jerome is a very nice and open person that is highly motivated and willing to pick up any job he can help with. He is a fast learner and does his work as accurate as possible. In the 2 weeks he was my guest he helped me with installing the drywall on the walls and ceilings of my newly build house. He never worked with drywall´s, but within a… read more
