Descripción
Hello. I'm Amanda. I love to learn about culture and languages. My husband and I are travelling around Europe and hope to meet and volunteer using our skills to help and assist in exchange for friendship and food. We are keen to learn more about off grid and ecological living, have an enormous appreciation for wildlife and foraging and love to meet people of this ilk.

We had a very busy month with Steve, Lesley and the gorgeous Dave helping to clean gites and do some general repair work.
The work is not physically hard and the day is yours to enjoy once you're done.
It is a beautiful part of France with much to do and see, Sarlat being the nearest town with plenty of opportunities to spend your money!

As we approach the final few days here at Serafines' house we have many thank you's to give and so much gratitude for being here with the cats and dogs in this very traditional region of Mallorca.

We were lucky enough to stay at Joe ans Katys for a few weeks while they were off on holiday. We had the most wonderful 3 weeks caring for the most impeccably behaved dog ever; Nia. Such a pleasure to know the whole family and Nia too of course. We were sad to leave them all. Everyone that we encountered was friendly, helpful and chatty. The… read more

What a great couple to have looking after our home and Nia while we were away on holiday. Anthony really helped out with our garden and even did a bit of painting for us (His favourite job, apparently :) )
Would definitely recommend them and would love to have them back. Feel very confident they would fit in, in any Workaway placement.

Amanda & Anthony were absolutely fantastic for the 5 months they stayed with us. They are great company, hard working, with great life experience which we really benefited from. Anthony's workmanship and building skills are second to none and as a result we have a spectacular 90sqm terrace, steps and path that he has built to perfection. Anthony… read more

As our workaway comes to a close here in Dorset with Jj and Co. it is a genuine sadness to leave. Our 5 months here have encompassed many and varied jobs along the way, not least Anthony has built an amazing large patio and has thoroughly enjoyed fetching the children to and from school and the odd bit of babysitting and taxiing. I was very poorly… read more

We had a thorough introduction to life in Egypt staying with Hans and Yvonne. I have to say I've never met a kinder pair. Yvonne is one determined lady with a lot of resolve to do good things. The work was generally cleaning (the streets and the house), watering the garden and of course, feeding the lovely cats. 2 hours max per day.

Our experience at Abraham and Manu's has been mixed in terms of the variety of tasks that we've been asked to do. Beanie has tiled the apartment and fixed the leaky roof and I have cleaned out a very unloved pond and brought it back kicking and screaming to life.

If Amanda and Anthony (Beanie) agree to be your WAers you'll be very lucky indeed. They are by far and away the best WAer couple we have had so far, and we have had more than 150 during the past five years. They are worth their weight in gold.

The placement description is very accurate and it's certainly a case of no two days are alike. The tasks required of a couple are very varied indeed and you often need to wear several hats at one time.
