The perfect Workawayer! Clever, friendly, strong, hardworking, resourceful, fun to be with, Chiara also works well without supervision. And then, did she take up the chokoe challenge: Chokoe and pumpkin gnocchis and foccacias, super yum! Chiara was 100% respectful, quiet, super tidy; any host or employer will be lucky to have her.

Simply the best! Justine and Francoise adapted well to our household, worked with enthusiasm and application beyond the call of duty, they left us warm memories as well as some lovely artwork, Titi recipes, and 5 kgs of chopped onions!. We enjoyed our conversations and had many laughs. Titi gave me a great massage, what a bonus! Hoping to meet… read more

Fançoise and Dada are a welcoming couple and offered me and my friends a place although we hadn't got a lot of time to stay and help which was really nice! They gave us a lot of tips what to do in the area and how to get a bit involved in the community. The work was easy and the hours fair. It was my first workaway experience and I really enjoyed… read more

I've spent 2 very nice weeks with Francoise and Dada. They are both very caring and kind and they always made sure that I've had everything I need. Also they tried to show me as much as possible of the area nearby. We had a lot of really interesting conversations and I loved the daily meditations with Dada.

Was great having Yu and Martin for a week, helping us with spring cleaning in and out. Easy going, respectful, hard working couple. They cooked most evening meals as well as working in and outside the house, were quick in the washing ups, and left everything tidy. And then Yu had a solo cook day, OMG those steamed/fried Japanese dumplings, and… read more

I had a really fun week with these two. The house was whirlwind of activity with something always delicious coming out of the kitchen. I learnt some fantastic recipes with a French twist from Francoise. Cheese making in particular was really awesome to learn as I even got a chance to see the product go from cow to plate. The atmosphere is so… read more
