Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Pauline)
Pauline is a wonderful workawayer and a lovely person to have around the house. She is a hard worker, enthusiastic, energetic and careful, and an accomplished and creative cook. We enjoyed some very delicious and healthy meals when she was here. Pauline practised yoga every morning and generously included me and another workawayer, Mathilde, from

Unfortunately the weather wasn't that good but when she wasn't helping around the house, decluttering, cleaning and re-arranging rooms, or doing some major weeding in the garden, Pauline explored Mayo with her van, went to the gym, took long hikes, and even climbed Nephin Mountain - twice. The second time she amazed the locals by running up and down in 1hr 45 mins! We also played a lot of bi-lingual scrabble which was a fun way to learn new words in each other's language. I very much look forward to seeing her again sometime, and wish her all the best in her new career.

Staying at Pippa’s house was one of the best experiences I could have hoped for, I am going to cherish the amazing moments we shared together in my heart. The work was nothing too hard and changed from day to day (if the weather wasn’t bad we would work in the garden ecc..). She really is a caring and compassionate person, I really felt welcomed

And when I had some time off, I could use a bike to explore nearby! Truly fantastic for someone who enjoys the countryside like me.

In conclusion, I’m so happy I found the courage and mental strength to go abroad on my own, thank you Pippa for helping me overcome many little personal obstacles each day, hidden from others eyes but not mine, truly wish you the best :)Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Our stay at Pippa's house leaves us with some excellent memories.

Nadine and Serge are super-workawayers and a delight to host! They are hardworking, enthusiastic, extremely competent, and good company - I'd have them back any day! They had a knack of finding things to fix or do even before I did and I particularly enjoyed their cooking, especially Nadine's brown bread and Serge's chocolate pudding... Thanks to

An additional bonus was how their enthusiasm, cheerfulness, persistence and pride in their work inspired and motivated me! I'm glad the weather was pretty good and enabled them to take off and enjoy more of this lovely county on their own - particularly allowing them to climb Nephin at its best! Thank you Nadine and Serge for your excellent company and hard work and do come back any time! Best wishes, Pippa

I feel truly blessed to have had the pleasure of hosting Myra and Evan! They are a delightful couple and impressive workawayers who worked hard and tackled every job with care, enthusiasm and creativity. The garden is no longer so overwhelming and is still really benefiting from Myra's thorough weeding and Evan's tree and stump removals.
Luckily

Altogether it was a very successful workaway experience for all of us and I'd be delighted and honoured to have them back any time!

We had the upmost fabulous time with Pippa. She was the sweetest and most caring host and truly cared about making sure that the experience was mutually beneficial to both Workawayer and host.

The labor wasn’t bad at all, mostly gardening, weeding, or some other odds and ends around the house and yard.

I very much enjoyed having Philippe to stay and am delighted with what he accomplished while here. I found him to be very pleasant, hard-working, obliging, and helpful with a good sense of humour and profound knowledge of growing and planting. He is a true gardener - and cooks too! Thanks a lot Philippe and I hope you will return again sometime.

Marielle was the first workawayer I'd hosted for about three years so I was a little nervous about how it would go. I needn't have worried! She was a cheerful, empathetic, trustworthy and congenial visitor, a willing and helpful worker in the house and garden, and a good cook too! I found her presence in the house personally very motivating and am

We established a mutually agreeable working arrangement whereby Marielle was free to study when she needed - or go on long walks in the beautiful Mayo countryside - so I'd say it was a win-win situation all round and I'd be glad to host her again any day. I was delighted to have met Marielle and wish her all the best in her future career and life in general.

My stay at Pippa's was my second experience as a workawayer. And that one was just as wonderful as the previous one.
I stayed there about 3 weeks and really felt at home, in a superb house located in a very quiet place. Pippa and I shared lovely moments like cooking, gardening, lovely chats, socializing with her friends, discovering the

I could also walk on my own and savour the beauty of that area like the Nephin mountain and all the many paths within walking distance.
Although Pippa can speak very good French, she only talked English to me which was the best way for me to practise again and again and improve my fluency.
Thank you Pippa for everything and hope to see you very soon.

I feel blessed to have made that experience.
