Descripción
Hello,

We are now a family of four. Ellie, Matt and 2 children aged 3 and 3 months (will be 7 months when we intend to start our adventure!)! We are looking to explore europe. We hope to visit countries we never have before making new friends and sharing what we have to offer in return for being immersed in a different culture.
Before kids we workawayed as a couple and loved the experience!
We visited France, Canada, Scotland and Iceland, working at farms, building projects, gardens. We like to turn our hands to everything and learn!
We both work as gardeners in Scotland. Matt is working full time at the moment and Ellie is home full time, but as our little one gets older we will go half and half on childcare and gardening to have more variety to our days.
We feel this community gives us the opportunities to learn and work to see how others live. We hope to learn a few more things about food growing, markets gardens, building, world schooling and home educating and everything inbetween!

Que habilidades tienes?
We are multi-skilled and both hands on and willing to help wherever we can.
We have experience with strimmers, belt sanders, drills, insulating, plasterboarding, taping and mudding, sewing, painting, gardening, foraging, salve making, cooking, cleaning, animal care, milking (we can both milk using machine and Ellie can milk goats by hand), chopping and stacking wood, crafting and bread making!

We're both proficient with computers, Ellie is good at using Word, Excel, etc.
We are most interested in placements where we can learn more about eco/ self sustainable building, food growing and general gardening, raising resilient children, and medical herbs but we are willing to turn our hands to anything and we always enjoy learning new skills. We are return to this site much more mature and with 2 kids!!!

Not sure how I got this lucky but I got these guys not once but twice!!

Matt and Ellie were fantastic workawayers and worked so hard while they were here. They did all sorts of different tasks while on this project. I had them building stud walls, plaster-boarding, plastering, tiling, grouting, tidying, hedge planting, drive laying, ground… read more

Me and Matt ( and Phebs) stayed with Siddy. We had a brilliant time; doing gardening work in the sun and discovering babe, learning to tile, making glass tiles...!!! We felt at home there and returned without Phebs a second time. It is wonderful. It is so nice to feel like you want to do good work for someone because they are lovely and good to… read more

The one most striking thing about Ellie and Matt is their ability to see what is "Nedeed and Wanted"!! They are the most wonderful people with a quick sense of humour, an ability to tackle any situation quickly and with a lot of creativity! They are complete self starters ( got soooooo much done in the time they were here) and the care they have… read more

Our stay with Maguite and Ernie was a great experience from the beginning! When we arrived to their place our plans were a bit up in the air and we were a bit stuck. They offered us a place to stay for longer than we had originally planned, and for that we are very grateful. They are extremely welcoming and friendly people with a lot of close (and… read more

Laury is a superb host - very engaging, good to talk to, caring and generous (both with her time and also possessions - she set me free for my first driving experience in France with her car without a second thought!). The work is great fun and is generally varied as the house is huge and needs loads of different stuff doing to it. Also Laury is… read more

Ellie and Matt... what amazing, wonderful people! They came and stayed and worked for two weeks and I was overjoyed with the progress we all made together on our house project. They are such ideal workawayers (and our first) that I can only hope the bar hasn't been raised too high for any and all that will follow.... Since they have said they are… read more

Matt and Ellie were excellent helpers who were always interested in learning new skills. Their capacity for hard work is remarkable. They took on the rather unpleasant task of insulating and boarding an attic conversion, tackling it with good humour and commitment and showing a high standard of workmanship. They also helped around the house and… read more

Our stay with Simon and Suzanne was great! The place is absolutely beautiful. Simon and Suzanne are brilliant hosts, unassuming, conscientious, helpful and accomodating. I got to learn to milk the goats, which I have aways wanted to do, and got to make cheese, another thing I have always wanted to do! The job we did mainly was insulating and… read more

Matt & Ellie were super cool folk to host. Both worked really well together and most importantly showed initiative which is major bonus! Were happy doing anything, from the mountain of laundry Ellie completed during their stay to, the epic task of organising the shed. Matt took on the role as a bit of a leader of the team, which was great and… read more

The adventures were great, it felt like home and the place was beautiful.

We felt appreciated and not micromanaged, unless we requested it!
Would totally recommend it to everyone, and would love to… read more
