Description
Hi We are Lisa and Stewart an older English couple who have lived in beautiful Galicia in NW Spain for the last 18 years where we have self renovated 2 stone houses for ourselves and Lisa's mum. We can turn our hands to most DIY including tiling, painting, construction and gardening. We have been workaway hosts since 2014 and have loved the experience so much we decided to try workaway ourselves on our round the world trip for Stewart's birthday in 2019. We enjoyed our varied workaway experiences in Japan, Australia and Chile and returned down under to workaway in New Zealand in 2020. We have stayed in touch with most of our hosts and love meeting new people, and sharing our skills. This year, 2025 we are back down under again visiting family and thought we would try to meet some more lovely worksway hosts during our travels. We are still older than the average workaway but please dont be put off! We are both fit (well relatively fit!) and have a wealth of experience to share with you. We are also not too old to learn new skills and ways of doing things!

We have self renovated 2 stone ruins here in Galicia with a steep learning curve over the past 18years! Stewart can turn his hand to most construction projects including plumbing, carpentry, roofing etc and has a good mind for solving problems. Lisa loves baking and has an extensive organic vegetable garden. She has also been known to try her hand at tiling, painting, and other renovation tasks. Lisa has a TEFL certificate.

Autres infos...
We have a wealth of experience to bring to your project but we are not too old to learn new skills! We are equally happy to help with cleaning, weeding, pruning or whatever help you need. We love meeting people and sharing stories. We work well together but also independently so have no objection to doing different tasks. We love nature and the outdoors. At home we keep rabbits and chickens and are bossed by 3 cats.

We had some specific projects in mind which included some carpentry to make our property puppy safe.

We couldn't have asked for a better first workaway in New Zealand than with Donna and Cath. From the minute Cath appeared at the station to collect us it felt like we were staying with mates. The fact that Cath and I found we had unknowingly been to the same school was hilarious but the welcome would have been as warm even without an odd… read more

I first contacted Sher and Brian because I loved their profile picture. They say a picture paints a thousand words and it does. For a couple of oldies (like us!) Sher and Brian have an incredible energy and Joie de Vivre. They also have the most magnificent house I have had the fortune to stay in. We loved staying in their beautiful home and… read more

Slugger Stewart and Slammer Lisa made short work of our big bathroom and laundry demolition and then smashed us at cards and scrabble in the evening! Fabulous fun couple with a great work ethic and a willingness to tackle some pretty tough jobs (see photo). Extremely capable with good skills, good humoured and great company. We felt really relaxed… read more

We were really pleased to be able to help karen with some painting of cupboard doors and odd jobs for a few days and we got so much in return..gourmet evening meals and impossibly high lunchtime sandwiches, a beautiful bedroom and bathroom and a huge pool to relax in. All this only a short walk from the station and an easy ride into the city. It… read more

Juan and Hanne are so welcoming and their house is amazing! We had our own huge room with bathroom off the patio and were treated to delicious veggie meals 3 times a day. The house is perfectly situated for a walk to the beach or a micro into valpo. We stayed a week mainly sanding down an old door. I would have liked to get the pair done but we… read more

We had Lisa and Stewart to stay with us over an extended weekend where they also met up with their New Zealand friends, Jenny and Dakota.

We had a lovely weekend with all four of them and were so grateful for helping with the hard tasks involved in framing up a large and very high caravan port (I thought they were very brave!). They also pitched… read more

It is obvious that Sharyn and David genuinely enjoy having guests stay. They not only opened their home to us but their hearts too. In the 3 days we spent there we felt like part of the family not strangers at all and enjoyed chatting about everything from politics to livestock in the evenings. Sharyn lent us her car to go into the local town and… read more

It was a pleasure to do some work for David. He is a wonderfully laid back host, spontaneous and very generous with his time, his beautiful home, and food.
David showed us the jobs which were needed, which we prioritised together, then he pretty much trusted us to get on with it which felt great.
We were treated to a delicious home cooked meal… read more

Stewart and Lisa arrived at my home and hit the ground running. They genuinely enjoyed tackling the tasks I gave them. I loved the way I didn't have to explain anything to them, they just used their creative intelligence to get the jobs done. They even looked for and found tools they needed in my disorganised shed. They did some tiling, cabinetry,… read more

This was an ideal first workaway for us. Mark is very nice and the family are lovely :blush:
Mark is very organised and knew the work he wanted so we had a clear schedule right off meaning we could plan our trips in advance.
The work itself and the hours were very fair and we enjoyed working with Mark and Kana both outdoors and in the rental… read more

it was a pleasure to meet and host these guys.And we can certainly recommend them both to other workaway hosts.
they helped out with various tasks, always polite, on time AND fun to be with.
Dont worry If you think they are a little older> I can tell you, it means more experienced and more common sense.

thanks again for all your help good luck… read more
