Description
Recently taken early retirement after a long professional career in business. On my path to 'reinvent myself' and experience something different from office life. Willing to use my new freedom to be of help in interesting and meaningful projects, whether a farm house, business or simply 'homemaking'. I come with ordinary everyday skills, have looked well after my own house and garden. Look forward to meeting reliable, interesting and kind people. Keen on foreign cultures, way of life and learning new skills and languages. Love animals, travel, children, nature and outdoors. Also happy to use my skills from my professional field (Business, Marketing and Communications).

Mika stayed for a whole month and it would seemed like flying, if it wasn't for all the work he accomplished! He is very pro-active and hard worker. Always helpful and considerate.
We also had wonderful conversations and I also started to watch out my diet a bit more because of him. He's got a few things to teach there!
Mika is quite a guy! Thank… read more

José is the perfect host, very well organized, friendly, and considerate, and he will make sure that your stay is successful – he does his best for the Workawayer to feel comfortable and at ease. And I did, indeed one of my best Workaway experiences!

I spent over a month at José’s home, located on a hill with beautiful scenic views around Torres… read more

I had a wonderful week at Khair’s new apartment right in the centre of Toulouse, painting ceilings and walls. I appreciated very much the freedom and trust he showed to me as to how to carry out my daily work, and he also worked very hard himself, performing a variety of necessary renovation tasks. Throughout the week we had a lot of interesting… read more

I was lucky to be able to stay with Karoliina and her family for 5 weeks, and enjoyed every day of it. They are a lovely couple with two lively sons, who certainly know how to keep you busy with activities: games, outdoors, icehockey, snacks, you name it. Karoliina and her husband are great hosts who are very active and best of all, they took me… read more

Mika stayed with our family for five weeks, helping us out with a number of things while we were away at work. He took our children to school and daycare in the morning and afternoon and prepared lunches for them. In addition he spent time playing with them, and helping the older son with his school homework. He was also a great help with our… read more

Mika has been with us almost 3 months and he has been a real help. He is a hardworker and he was involved in a lot of different activities, such as gathering leaves (tons of leaves!), setting new lawns by moving stones (tons of stones!), painting and reassembling old agricultural machines, which required a lot of patience and care. He has always… read more
