Autres infos...
I am a firm believer that a change is as good as a rest and I would love to spend some of my free time exploring new places and meeting new people. I spent some time in the summer of 2018 helping out in a cafe in Ireland and I loved every minute of it. Then I had the good fortune to spend two weeks in Sligo in 2019 and another (almost) two in Newtonards in 2020 and again, it was everything I had hoped for and more. Then I was lucky enough to stay in county Clare in 2021 and loved every minute of it.

Monika was superhero to share my home with. A really lovely and interesting lady. We had lots of fun during her stay. I felt like I was on holidays while at home.
She is a hard and thoughtful worker. I loom forward to spending time with her again. She was very kind and interactive with my family and friends. She also makes amazing cakes.

Oh my, where do I start… I had a heavenly time in co. Cork, absolutely everything I was hoping for and so much more. First of all, I got to spend time with Áine, a fun, kind, generous person, down to earth, always as good as her word and such a good laugh. I loved her company, the chance to talk, exchange stories, laugh and watch TV, pet her sweet… read more

I really loved my time with Marie, Ciara, Marcel (another workawayer) and their furry friends. Marie and Ciara are friendly and kind, they take care of you, tell you stories and take you places.

My week with Bridget, Dessie and Shannon was just grand. I loved the work, the conversations, the chance to immerse myself in the beauty of Co. Meath. They were fun to be with, friendly and ever so kind. I was so lucky - I got all I was hoping for - great people, green fields and sensible work. Thank you thank you thank you!

Monika is a wonderful lady, full of life and brings a wealth of life knowledge with her. We really got on very well, and fitted in around our family and our lifestyle. No job was too big for her. She is a talented lady and well read. We shared many stories around life in general, as we were around the same age, so had similar life experiences.… read more

I absolutely loved my two weeks with Majella, Michael and the boys. They are kind, fun and do their best to provide the nicest workaway experience you can hope for. I was treated like a family member, offered a lovely place to stay, grand home-made food, a chance to accompany my hosts on their errands to Kilkenny, Carlow, Enniscorthy, I was given… read more

Monika is a hibernophile, and has visited Ireland a number of times. Fluent in English, she is very chatty and can hold a conversation on almost any topic. She stayed with me for a week and was very helpful, working in the garden and also inside. She is considerate, always offering to help, works hard, and is easy company - I would recommend… read more

You cannot ask for a better workaway experience. I got to spend time with a brilliant person, my host, talking and working. I did sensible and enjoyable work, had a chance to listen to really grand stories, was given great, home-made food and a comfortable room in a beautiful place in Ireland. I was taken care of and offered lifts, tips and… read more

I could not have asked for a lovelier place to go to. First of all, my hosts were two grand people, who took me in at a short notice, in spite of the Covid and in spite of my having 1.5 hands to work with – I had sprained my wrist several days before coming over. Still, they welcomed me there. They are both the kind of people you totally want to… read more

I loved my two-week stay with John. He is absolutely kind, knowledgeable, ready to talk to you and show you places. I enjoyed working with him - the work is not too hard and you get to learn things. My Kindle is full of books inspired by what John told me, I met a lot of his neighbours, I saw a lot of places and I loved waking up in the middle of… read more
