I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start my travels. The nicest family I could ever meet and they were more than accommodating! I learned so many things and each day was a new adventure for me, the food was always great and the company was even better.

I spent almost two weeks in beautiful Asturia, with my friend Kuba and I really was enjoying that time! It was my first workaway experience and I am really satisfied. We were weeding around trees, it wasn't hard or difficult. I am really happy I could meet you, thank you for everything! :)

Adam, Naomi, and the whole family were amazing hosts! I felt welcome the moment I met them :)

After originally scheduling one week, I stayed an additional week, and enjoyed every day.

The work was simple, sometimes laboriously demanding. However, it was a casual four hours or so with a tea break in-between, which was nice. Whether out in the… read more fields with Adam and the dogs, or at the current barn build-site, there was plenty to keep us busy. Adam is also very knowledgeable about mycology, teas, the Asturias region, and eco-planning/ building, while providing a very relaxed and friendly manner.

When I arrived, I realized I did not have the appropriate attire for the environment or work (a lack of wellies, work pants, winter temperatures, etc...). Before I could even begin to worry, it was Naomi to the rescue! Despite the sometimes hectic moments, Naomi was able to keep the prize in site, and always had a handle on the situation. They provided me with previous clothes and boots for the work and we made a trip to town for some warmer clothes. Naomi also cooks amazing dishes that I feel get under-appreciated by her kids by the speed in which they inhale the food (or maybe that's a sign of how much they also enjoy it)!

The truck where you stay is comfortably situated, although it was recently moved, so during my time there was no current running water (something I'm sure will be returned in the near future), although the hose was right next to the truck. A fire burning iron stove inside keeps away the cold at nights. The compost toilet is also close by, but be sure to bring a torch if heading out at night, because the area gets quite dark at night, since this is a secluded spot, maybe a quarter - half a mile away from the main house. I found the space very relaxing, but others might not find it so, so be aware of your personality. That being said, besides the family lunch at 14, you are welcome to swing by in the evenings to talk, watch a film, or simply hang out. Also note that any electronics requiring anything other than a USB port will need to be charged at the main house.

Evenings with Adam, Naomi, and their friends were great. You get the chance to meet some very friendly and outgoing people, all who welcome you instantly. We went out sometimes into the various surrounding villages for meals. The food and drink are great, I was never hungry or thirsty :)

I'm sure I am missing some things, but I wanted to finally thank Adam & Naomi for the wonderful experience and warm home and hearts they opened for me during my stay here. I would gladly visit again soon, especially once the truffles are harvested :)

All the best,

First of all thank you so much for accepting me as a workawayer. Naomi, Adam and their kids are just wonderful human beings and I loved spending time with them. Naomi is a "superwoman", not sure how she is able to look after 4 kids, manage the household and running the project at the same time. At times she seems to be a bit stressed but Adam is… read more

Adam & Naomi's is a great little workaway. We weeded the truffle trees for just under two weeks, starting about 9.30am and finishing at 2/3 then heading to the family house for a delicious homemade lunch by Naomi. Beautiful, interesting children and lovely animals everywhere. The truck is about a 10minute walk away from the main house so there's… read more
