Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Tomomi)
We loved having Tomomi stay with us, what an easy workaway to host! She is such a kind and caring person, and is amazing with children. It was wonderful to see Liam, my 3 year old, bond with her immediately. He still talks about Tomomi!
Tomomi cooked some lovely meals for us, did some cleaning and played and took care of Liam. With a baby sick

Tomomi got out and explored some of the area which is always lovely to see.
A bright, easygoing and kind person, thanks for everything Tomomi. We hope to see you again - in Norway, Ireland or even Japan sometime!

My first Workaway experience was absolutely amazing! I spent a week with Michelle, Liam, and Tedhg while Declan was working abroad.
Michelle was very kind, friendly, and warmly welcoming, always ensuring my comfort throughout my stay. Liam is a lovely, smart, and energetic boy, and I truly enjoyed playing with him. Although Tedhg was unwell for

During my stay, I mainly looked after Liam (and occasionally Tedhg), prepared dinner, and handled some light cleaning tasks. Michelle introduced me to the beautiful Rauland area and recommended several scenic spots and a charming cafe. She also shared Norwegian and Irish cultures and parenting which was incredibly beneficial for my studies.
Despite my limited English proficiency, Michelle consistently made an effort to understand me, which I deeply appreciated. The family's home is wonderfully located, and I enjoyed walking in the surrounding snowy landscape of Norway.
I highly recommend this host family to anyone who loves children and appreciates breathtaking landscapes.
Thank you very much for this opportunity. I hope to meet you again soon!

Michelle is kind of like a superhero...: she is very warm, welcoming, honest, clear about her expectations, a great singer, patient and loving to her kids, thankful for the help and wants the best for her guests. Combining all these things is quite special I think :) I really enjoyed my stay in Rauland, the view from the house is beautiful, the

Sarah was a great help to the family. She is bright and positive and a great cook! She was always willing to help with whatever was asked of her. She really engaged in the local community and local activities, which was lovely to see! Thanks for everything Sarah x

A great first experience!
Declan and Michelle are very welcoming, kind and friendly, and their little boy Liam is simply lovely !!
I spent three weeks in their home, mainly with Michelle and Liam while Declan had to travel for work. I had a great time with Michelle, it’s very interesting to discuss with her, and despite my low level in english

I mainly helped them with cooking, houseworks , tidying up and looking after Liam a bit.
I appreciated that Michelle gave me so much information about the city, things to do in the area etc. She genuinely cares about her guests.
Their accommodation (in Norway) is also well located in the small town, and if you are dynamic, motivated and a little creative there is plenty to do, hard to get bored ;)
Thanks again for this opportunity and see you soon maybe!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Janina was a lovely addition to our family for 2 and a half weeks. Baby Liam was very sick when she arrived but after a few days, when he felt better, he loved hanging out with her. Janina is very kind, she really spent time with Liam. She cooked some lovely meals and was generally just very helpful around the house. Thanks for everything Janina.

It was my first work-experience and what can I say: It was an amazing time.
I spent 2,5 weeks with Michelle and Liam while Declan was working abroad.
Michelle is a very kind and trustful person and she did everything to make me feel welcome. Although Liam was sick for the first days he is a lovely, smart and cute toddler.
Most of the time I helped

Rauland is a little town located in great landscape. Michelle showed me around and recommend some places, where I was allowed to go by car. Thanks to her I was able to join some university activities, so I learned about traditional folk dance and music and card weaving. It was very interesting and I am glad to had this unique experience.
I had a great time and hope to see them again. Thank you so much for this experience!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Maria, what can I say, she was a godsend. She arrived at a difficult time, just before we were moving to another country. Life was busy and stressful but Maria took it all in her stride.

It was my first work-away experience: really three amazing weeks! It was my first time abroad alone, so at the beginning I was a little worried mainly about my language skills, but since the first day I have felt part of the family.

I really appreciated their dynamism and initiative; they often took me by car to visit some neighboring villages or they even lent me a bicycle to better explore the area.
I mainly took care of Liam while Declan and Michelle were working: I had no trouble playing, looking after, and preparing lunch for him. Liam is a beautiful, clever and funny baby. I adored staying with him and I miss all the family!
I am so grateful for this opportunity and for their trust. I hope to see them again soon, maybe in Italy!!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Ange and Jane, stayed with us for 2 weeks. They immediately fit right in and got stuck into painting the upstairs of the house. They worked hard and finished all the painting before they left!

The best! Really felt like part of the family, Michelle and Declan were so welcoming and generous and Liam was a delight, obviously. Best baby in the world!
Baltimore was stunning as well, we had so much fun exploring the islands and towns of West Cork. 10/10 recommend.

Matias and Sabrina stayed with us in July. They were always kind and willing to do anything that was asked of them. Always good-spirited and up for a laugh, they even performed at the opening of the festival with me! 😄They cooked some delicious meals and were very good, playing with baby Liam.

Fabiana and Jonas spent three great weeks with us. From the moment they arrived they were so helpful, and immediately bonded with baby Liam! They are easygoing, friendly, interesting and fun! And most of all, it can be said they are hardworking. They painted all of the downstairs of our house - and that was no easy task - they did an amazing job.

Our first workway experience couldn't have been happier! We spent three weeks with Michelle, Declan and the baby Liam at their amazing home, and in that time we felt truly at home. The work we did, painting the house, was extremely peaceful because Michele and Declan are super kind, positive and always willing to talk and exchange experiences.
… read more Both are excellent cooks and cooked different typical dishes so that we could try Irish cuisine. Liam is a beautiful, smart and energetic baby who won us over with his smile and grace.
Michelle and Declan also provided bicycles so that we had more autonomy to take super pleasant rides through the village, which is very beautiful. In addition to this kindness, Michele took us by car to visit some neighboring villages and some of the most beautiful landscapes in Ireland. We also had the opportunity to learn more about Irish history and enjoy traditional Irish music.
In short, a wonderful family that captivated us, becoming our friends, and allowing us to have a very happy and pleasant experience.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.
