I'm interested in walking (with dogs, of course), movies, travel, games, and just general sightseeing. I also have a BS in journalism, and I can help with editing in English.

Laissé par le workawayer (Mary) pour l'hôte
(Help with gardening and DIY ...)
This host has to be one of the most cheerful and upbeat people I have ever met. She greeted me, and the other two workawayers whose paths crossed mine, with much warmth every morning. She was always ready with laughs, kindness, and consideration for workawayers and others who visited her home. Her little dog Louie was much the same: easygoing,… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Mary)
Mary came to my lovely island for a visit and as a vegan of 30 years sought a place which could accommodate this. I am not a vegan but was happy to stretch my horizons for the two weeks she was here. It was an inspiration! She cooked all the meals and produced some wonderful flavour filled food. She also generously bought some of her own specific… read more

This was truly a wonderful workaway experience.
Anir treats her workawayers as guests. She gives us the biggest bedroom with a wonderful, small balcony overlooking the charming village, and she gives us sole use of a large, well-equipped bathroom adjacent to the bedroom. She adjusts her life for ours; on my visit she changed her pescatarian… read more

Time has flown by, that's because you're one of my best workaway guests!
You really know about tackling things and that made it easier for me, because I'm not very good with calling the shots. Although we were not lucky with the weather, we were still able to work in the garden. We could make trips and walks.
I really appreciate your assistance,… read more

At some point during my two-week stay in Dagmar's home I surprised myself by writing a friend to say I loved her dogs more than my own! Leaving them, and the personality-plus cat, was way tougher than I ever imagined and I hope all Dagmar's workawayers treat them with the kindness and love they most certainly deserve.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Mary)
Mary is such an amazing woman, she bonded with the animals straight away and as she's as a fellow-vegan, I enjoyed all the dishes she magicked up. Although I was working every day during the week, we only had evenings and some personal time during the weekend. But I thouroughly enjoyed Mary's company and our chats. Those 2 weeks went by way too… read more

I spent seven days in August with this kind, gentle couple. Mike and Julie are clearly devoted to their cats, their home, their island, and each other. They provide workawayers with a spacious bedroom and a modern, private bath with shower, both on the lower level of the house with a separate entrance to the back yard. Also on this level is a… read more

Our first workaway experience was wonderful thanks to Mary. Self-directed and self-sufficient, she identified tasks that needed doing without being asked and completed every task to the highest standard. Thank you so much Mary.
