Information du profil

Notre statut
en voyage
We are travelling in our van in Spain/Portugal and like to surf, hike and enjoy nature. We like to help out construction/maintenance projects and love to get involved in environmental projects.
Description
We are mature experienced travellers, currently in Spain. We have been house sitting with Trustedhousesitters.com and in between hiking, workawaying and just doing our own thing like exploring in our van that we are converting. We are a very practical couple coming from a farming background and have looked after and worked with a large variety of animals. We have experience with permaculture and organic farming and love the countryside and learning the local language and culture. We have done a number of construction and renovation projects on farms and houses. I was the maintenance man/handy man for the local school where I also worked as a Maths teacher. For the past 7 years I was the Patrol Captain at the local surf beach so love the ocean. Susanna has experience in administration and loves to surf. We are looking to contribute our skills and learn new ones as we continue travelling and experience meeting wonderful people and places in Europe.

Laissé par l'hôte (Come and help us at our farm ...) pour le workawayer (Michael & Susanna)

Michael has been a very good help to us. He came during a busy season in the orchard and in the reconstructed tavern. He is eager to work and it was pleasure to have him here. He is working independently or in team, both goes him very well. It's really nice to talk to him. I admire his life style.

I spent a week here in August 2020. It was a good experience of country Slovakia. The farm orchard was beautiful with typical farm work; firewood, collecting hay, strimming, etc.. Accommodation was really good in the farm house, no internet though. The hosts, with lots of ideas, are very busy people as they also run a restaurant/accommodation… read more

I was here for 10 days in July 2020. A great experience, Majda is very knowledgeable of the local area, history and customs, she is very easy to talk to and will go out of her way to make you comfortable and prepares you wonderful meals. It is a very typical country farm on steep hills, so be prepared to walk uphill. There is a lot of work to be… read more

This was a difficult project for me. The hosts Kailash and Luka were disorganised and unprepared for a Workawayer. There was no bedding, internet, tools or safety equipment for the work. The hosts wanted to work from 1 or 2pm in the afternoons onwards which did not suit me, and could not organise me earlier for unknown reasons. The Castle is… read more

I spent just 1 week with Anina and her horses, and appreciate her picking me up. It is a lovely Cortijo with all the facilities you need. I helped with making a pathway, levelling new sand in horse arena and generally helping out wherever. It is a great area to explore and local towns are close by. Anina is a wonderful lady who provided all… read more

My Workaway experience with Julien and Inma was one of the highlights of my trip to Andalucia, Spain. A lovely couple, open to suggestions and ideas and full of love and fun. We all worked hard and that made the experience even better. They wanted to learn and understand and got involved in everything. The hospitality was first class; cooking by… read more

Mickael came to see us for 2 weeks, during which we worked to restore the water basin of the house. The basin is 192,000 liters, we had to work with 700 kg of cement. In addition to his precious knowledge in mathematics (he is a mathematics teacher), Michael is also a hard worker and perfectionist. He was the driving force during the… read more

I stayed with Hanne for one month, where there was a lot of preparation for the season. Strimming, planting, watering, construction, rendering, irrigating and set-up. Even under the lockdown there was plenty to do and I got to apply a lot of my skills. Hanne is very friendly and eager to please in cooking, work tasks and communication. It was… read more
