Description
After a 10 years office job, I decided it's time for some adventure. Hard to describe myself, but some key words are: adventurous, bit quiet, sporty, bit of a philosopher.

From the first day onward, I felt welcome at Kai and José's place. It was a lot of fun to built the tiny house in an improvising way, using reused materials. Food was great, we played some fun board games and hiked around the beautiful village. Thank you for this amazing experience!

Will stayed with us for two weeks and in that time we nearly finished a veranda and started the structure on an outside kitchen. He's always been ready and willing to do what was necessary and add his technical input when he could, which was a good help at some moments. While he was a bit more quiet in the beginning, we were sad to see him go as… read more

Great place. I spend a week and a half in this beautiful community. I felt welcome from the first moment onward, and got quite some freedom in what I did. I made a new haft for an old axe head from a piece of homegrown wood, and did quite a bit of painting. Food here was all organic and delicious. The most beautiful part of the house is, of… read more

(Help straw bale gardening, ...)
I've had a great time at Robert and Tanja's finca. I was greeted with a nice glass of Cava, and it went smoothly ever since. We shared the jobs that needed to be done, and my own initiatives (e.g. installing a drip irrigation system for the hugelkultur) where appreciated. They are truly generous hosts.

What to say? William is communicative, before coming here we were promptly informed. He is flexible and hard working. Not all tasks on the finca are glorious. Cleaning the horse meadow, moving building materials all done without complaints or having to micro manage. Some days we have to work longer than the 5 hours stated in our profile (some days… read more

I spend 2 great weeks at Neil and Rachel's finca. They are the most generous hosts you will ever find.
We worked on pruning the almonds, and did some (hopefully succesfull) grafting.
The place is quiet and peacefull, with amazing views and great walks in any direction. Thanks a lot for having me!

Will came to us for just over 10 days to help us with pruning our almond trees.
He fitted in extremely well, and worked so hard. If only he could have stayed another 10 days!
Will was also keen to help us improve things, without us feeling either useless or stupid. He is very knowledgeable about many things and it was useful to pick his brains.… read more

William is fun to work together with. During the days he has spent here he was very helpful in the garden with planting trees, carving wooden handles and collecting seeds from beans, peas, lupines and others. The fresh bread he would bake and meals he prepared where simply delicious. We totally miss the evenings sitting together and playing Uno… read more

Pieter and Sally are the nicest people you'll ever meet. Their knowledge on farming is huge. Sally's food is yummy! Bear in mind though, that since the farm is very well-managed, there's little freedom in how and when to do your work.

Will stayed with us from 5 January-18 January 2018. In this time with us he did the following tasks; dug and prepared soil for a vegetable trench, harvested butternuts and cleared beds from old plants, weeding, varnishing doors and window frames, topped fruit trees and landscaping.
