After over 20 workaways he has one of the highest recommendations I can give!

Nice young lady. Again someone from a culture I am completely unfamiliar with. I learned so much about Singapore and now it’s on my husbands and my bucket list. Michelle was very adventuresome, she is an experienced traveler and is very familiar with the ins and outs of being a full time “ traveler”. However it was much easier because Singapores

It’s never easier when complete strangers move in together, it’s kind of like that “ married at first site” TV show. You learn a lot about other people and very quickly,
I found her unique, she takes charge and wants to learn things quickly, yet she comes off initially shy and reserved.
I would definitely recommend her as a trustworthy person. I respected her belief in honesty even when you’re in a tough situations. I really think she is a good example of what a workaway should be.

This is my second workaway and it is truly an eye opening experience! Being here for this workaway for 8 days, I am living with Cathy and Leon and their 6 lovely pets (4 dogs - sammie, mandy, sweetie and ollie and 2 cats - callie and bon bon). I interacted with Cathay more than Leon because Leon had a full time job. Also, initially I thought I
… read more could work with other rescue animals from the shelter but I guess they weren't taking care of any during my time there. Then again it was all good but there are already 6 pets in the house.
The work isn't really hard. 4 hours a day for 5 days and you get two days off. They would respect my off working hours and I can do whatever I want outside the 4 hours I am required. Cathy would ask me when I would like to have my off so I could go off exploring! It would sometimes depend which days they need more help with so I can have my off days on other days they don't need much help with. Regardless of anything, I just have to communicate with them and tell them all that I would like to see and they would offer good suggestions of how I could go about it while still clocking that 4 hours a day for 5 out of 7 days. I spent one of my off day at the living desert zoo and another just self exploring the area.
Cathay always gives a tour of the Coachella valley area which is really nice of her to show the workaway around. Since I didn't have a car to explore, this is really great to see places and mark it so that I could visit on a separate occasion. Also, if its within their means and the timing works, they could drop you off at places to take the bus or slightly further if they are also heading out as well. I would say one really need a car to explore the Coachella valley and I wish I would rent one to explore further, like going to the Joshua Tree National park.
FYI* Make sure to visit the village fest that happens to every thursday in downtown palm spring and have one dollar bills prepared so you can use it for the bus!
The most important thing I can say is to communicate and respect the rules and what you are being asked to do. Everyone has a way of doing things so just follow it and you will have an awesome time! I wish I could spend more time here to explore other areas further off which could be possible even without renting a car. haha Just ask Cathy! haha 😂Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

I think this workaway did a really good job. She is very personable and friendly, I think she could carry on a conversation with just about anyone. She is positive with strong energy. I felt she was very intelligent and will be able to do anything she wants in life.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Nadia)
Nadia was wonderful. I have never thought this about someone before, but when we were running around doing things I started to think that if I had a daughter, I would like her to be like Nadia. ( I don’t have kids)
She was very inexperienced with animals and probably uncomfortable handling all the stuff that comes out of them, ( vomit, poop,
… read more urine) but she made up for the lack of skills by being the kind of person I would have been proud to raise. She is ambitious (just finished law school), sensitive to things around her and has a wonderlust spirit that I see lacking in many youth these days who are internet obsessed. She was not afraid to try new things, take chances and did not spend hours fixated on her phone
I have hosted a lot of young people here and I found her spirit so refreshing. In some ways she reminded me of myself at that age… I would highly recommend Nadia as a workaway, I hope she retains her thirst for knowledge and adventure!!

I really had a great time at Catherine and Leon’s house. The work is not hard if you just follow the rules. I recomande to do this warkaway if you have lived AT LEAST WITH AN ANIMAL, because everything in the house is about dogs. For example, it’s better if you know how to hold them in your arms and this kind of stuff.
Anyway, Cathy always

Regarding Catherine, she’s nice, cultured, open-minded and also very cool and fun person to hang out with. She talked a lot with me and that was the best thing for my english and also to get the pleasure to know such a wonderful person. I never got bored with her, despite the age difference. She took me to Hollywood and that was the most beautiful and unexpected GIFT, I couldn’t hold back my joy and excitement.
I spent less time with her husband Leon, but I can tell he’s very kind and polite, he always treated me with the utmost respect and I’ve really apreciated that.
So…Thank you for the most interesting conversations, the company, the unforgettable trip around LA, the super good american food you suggested me to try, thanks for showing me the beautiful place where you live and for hosting me in your house, thank you for everything! You made my “California dream” come true!!

Kimberly is a kind person, she was helpful and smart. I have nothing but positive things to say about her as a person, I am sure she will do well in life. There was one issue.

… read more several times to ask me if she had any questions, but she rarely did. I also told her she did not have to rush because it leads to mistakes, but that did not work . I could have become more forceful about my expectations, but I decided not to do it. I do not think this is a reflection of Kimberly who is still young. To me it is a reflection of her age. I think she is a great person and I don’t have anything bad to say about my experience with her, I would definitely recommend her for any workaway. My husband and I both agree that we need to higher the age we accept people here. I really think we need people who have more maturity then a lot of the young people who come to visit. The older people who come always take the tasks more seriously and not just something they have to do in order to stay here free. We do not think there are any issues with Kimberly. Our expectations are very high for the work we assign and we are not getting people to do the kind of job we expect unless they are older. However, we are the ones who have to screen better as I really liked Kimberly and think she will do very well in any field she pursues. But, I also remember how I felt and thought at 21 as well.

We had a very enriching experience with Catherine and Leon. They live in the Coachella Valley which is literally an oasis in the middle of the desert and that is exactly the feeling they surrounded us with for the whole period.
We enjoyed the beauty we have seen around, the starry nights, the best of foods, the books, the nice places Catherine
… read more has brought us to see in Palm Springs or Indian Wells. Not to mention the 3 day trip Cathy has taken us to! We have seen the best of places!!She was a wonderful and comprehensive guide and we have felt protected under her care and enriched by her knowledge and stength. I remember the moment when we stayed at a hotel and the guy at the reception desk thought she was our mum. It felt cozy and warm.
We also had a one day trip to L.A. with both Cathy and Leon for Leon's medical appointment. We had a meaningful day seeing doctors and hope for life.
We have learned many new things as well. First about the Unites States, its values and cultural differences across the states. Cathy and Leon love to tell stories and they are so harmonised with each other. They made us feel we have seen for ourselves all the places they have magnets from on the their fridge. Amazing!
We also have learned how to relate to animals at a level full of care and love. Ana had already her experience with animals but I had a lot less so I felt growing on me a protective loving feeling toward the kittens and puppies we sheltered. In the end we witnessed with Cathy the adoption process and it was a moment full of uplifting vibes of new hopes and new homes.
There is however some sadness to the story. After we left Catherine accused us of having been too invasive and having broken a meaninful crystal. This brought us a lot of pain especially because it was so unexpected. We meant the best and it would have been better if we had been told when we did something wrong. I realise we might have seemed invasive - we love clean organised stuff and we began doing that a little bit thinking she would love it or at least be neutral to it. Once our aunt came to our house and she painted the walls and organised everything. We praised her!
I think we could have communicated better and we are sorry for our limits too.
Also I would have loved the studying activity to be more relevant. Basically the work involved taking care of the dogs and cats and the temporarely sheltered animals. As a Medical student and a tutor I feel that I could have brought more value in an activity like the one mentioned in the profile - that is helping Cathy study for her test as a doctor.
All in all in time what matters is what we decide to bring our focus to. And we decide to focus on the love we have been hosted with during our two weeks and not on the hate spat in the moment of our departure.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

These sisters were very sweet, charming and intelligent young ladies and we really enjoyed having them.

We really enjoyed the couple

The one stressful issue that occurred could possibly be chalked up to cultural difference. We have noticed through a couple European visitors that “ make yourself at home” has a different meaning there them here. I feel Americans are more reserved about how they conduct themselves while visiting strangers.
The girls used many items without asking, even though I had purchased things especially for them. They helped themselves through our closets for things they preferred over what we gave them to use. They also rearranged furniture in the room they stayed in and ended up breaking a very sentimental item in the process. If they would have only asked, we would have found a way to assist them, other then that things went very well.
It was clear these young ladies were raised in loving and supportive environments and will fulfill their career ambitions and be very successful in life. We were both impressed with their warmth and strength of character.

She was always ready to help me if I needed something or to go somewhere. Cathy and her husband love their animals and in more they take care of kittens and puppies which come from animal shelter. Their dogs and cats are all so very cute and I love them a lot, particularly my sweet and very smart Banbang. I helped them to take care of their animals and the kittens with great pleasure. They have really a very big heart!! In one word : Great !!!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

I can say for a fact that these folks will be amazing host with future guest and I highly recommend striking up a conversation should the opportunity arise.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.
