Ged and Lorraine are incredible, you won't wonder why they are Ambassadors of Workaway as they will show you. From the first day of work with them you will be tired as they work hard and it is a challenge to keep up with them. Ged has a great sense of humor and a great deal of knowledge in construction of houses. Lorraine is a kind lady that can… read more

My wife and I enjoyed Mike's stay. Mike is a very hard working smart man who was always prompt and ready to work. We accomplished many tasks while Mike stayed with us one of which was clearing a tree line that looks fantastic. We recommend Mike to other hosts that need a self starter.

We had an awesome 2 week stay in Eddy with Grant and Polly! We felt like members of the family and were sad to leave.
