Living with Kishka and Julia for three weeks as a volunteer was an incredible experience. It marked my first Workaway adventure, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Throughout my stay, I felt not only safe but truly embraced as part of their family. They involved me in typical American and family activities, making it a beautiful… read more

Sabina stayed with us for 3 weeks in the fall of 2023, and she was an absolute joy to have around. From the moment she arrived, we could feel her warmth and joyous spirit, which she brought to everything she did. During her stay, she organized two very messy closets, cleaned and decluttered our living room and outdoor areas, weeded and tidied our… read more

Kischka and Julie were our first experience with Workaway and we couldn't have asked for anything better than them!! We stayed 8 days, taking care of the house while they were out and pet sitting their wonderful dog Inky and the sweet shy cat Mika.

We had the pleasure of hosting Isabella and Alice this September, and the only downside to the experience was that they could not stay longer. They first stayed in our home for a few days while we were travelling, taking excellent care of our home and pets, and remaining in close communication so we could feel at ease while we were away. They even… read more

Staying at julie's and kichka's house was our first Workaway expérience, and what beautiful 10 days we had !
We could not have been luckier. They welcomed us warmly, invited us to spend time with them and their friends. We exchanged recipes and meals, croissants, magrets de canard, ribs, crêpes, cinamon rolls, and so on...
They were always… read more

Wow! I can hardly find the words to express how lucky we were to have hosted Élodie and Nathan for their first Workaway experience. We needed help demolishing a kitchen and assembling the new cabinets, and Nat and Élo told us that they’d had experience remodeling their own homes. But what also caught my eye is that they both play instruments and… read more

We are so happy that we were able to host Nicholas this past summer. He originally came to stay just for a few days, but ending up being here for a month, and what a great month it was!

I feel the frase, "Describe your experience" is so difficult to express and so small to describe in a hand ful of words. Julie and Kischka host me for a full month in Santa Cruz, I came due to other workaway that got cancelled because of wild fires, which in a way I kind of give thanks to Life for guiding me to this family. We did countless… read more

Oli and his partner Laila visited us in summer of 2022, with the prospect of redoing a brick path and patio that had sunk into the dirt. We are so pleased with the hard work they did over the course of their stay, clearing out the area, pulling up the bricks, and relaying the entire path and patio with mortar so we won't have the same problem… read more

Flor was a kind, enthusiastic, and fun housesitter. Our dog, Inky, got more walks with Flor while we were away than she ever does with us, and Flor sent us pictures of the two of them having fun together. Flor arrived a day before our trip so that we could show her everything that was needed and jumped right in to help us with preparations,… read more

I had an unforgettable experience in Santa Cruz and enjoyed every minute of it as I was housesitting for Julie, Kischka and the kids. I stayed at their home for a week and took care of their pets, while doing some house chores.
They made me feel very welcome. I would definitely go back.

We were lucky enough to be Manon and Yvan's first Workaway hosts, though they have done similar work exchanges on their own.
