I had a great 5 week long stay here, with really good people and nice experiences... The events held here were very varied, and I met a lot of interesting people from that. It's a beautiful place, right by the sea..in one minute you can be standing on the sea wall with its fresh air and views.
A heart-warming experience !

David was great during his short visit, he was very understanding of the workaway setup and got to work on lots of tasks we had to do. he worked on his own and with his own transport he was able to explore the area.
It was a pleasure to have David around even if it was a short visit.
All the best in your euro adventures.

David was with us for a week and we found him very capable and thorough and generally helpful (happy to help with clearing up and for example emptying the dishwasher without being asked). He is good company and interesting to talk to. We recommend him to other hosts!

Caspar and Frida are great hosts - warm and welcoming. And Levke and Yanis are sweet too.
Food and drink was plentiful and delicious.
The house and the location are something special - I did lots of tree planting on their path just outside the house , right next to the sea... it was lovely to hear/see/smell the sea all day.
Thanks guys !

We loved having Dave be our workaway for five weeks. Dave came to us during the virus and was conscientious about observing all necessary rules during quarantine. He worked hard throughout on tasks we requested, as well as spotting extra bits he could do to help out. He takes his time to do things properly. He asked for very little but was lovely… read more
