Description
We have now been on our Workaway journey for 3 years, living and travelling in our motorhome. To be able to visit and explore different parts of the country while sharing our skills and abilities with others is extremely rewarding for us. We are fit, willing to get stuck in and quick learners with an appetite for a challenge.
We are at our happiest in the countryside and with nature. Whether exploring on foot or by bike, photographing, foraging or simply admiring the view, there is always something to enjoy in the great outdoors regardless of where we are.
We live in our motorhome full time and are self contained, all we need is water, a plug socket and somewhere to park. We are happy to join in at family mealtimes or to do our own thing as circumstances dictate.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
We are both extremely active and hands on. Our recent property development experience has taught us many useful land based skills including excavator driving, chainsaw & strimmer operation, ground clearance, demolition, walling etc. We are both competent and adventurous cooks with a taste for Slow Food. Neil has previous experience in business startups, marketing, advertising, copywriting, editing and is computer literate.
Also extensive mechanical knowledge, an interest in automotive and 4x4s, having previously worked as an instructor for Land Rover. Leilani has experience in childcare, nannying and housekeeping as well as a flair for interior design and design consultancy experience in home furnishing retail. We are interested in projects that utilise our existing skills but are equally keen to learn something new along the way.

We worked mainly in the garden and we're able to finish off some projects, like the decking, which has been left for some time.

Neil and Leiliani spent a month with us living in their mobile home on the yard. Together we did a lot of sucessful work. One of these was to work on a 7m oak trunk that had fallen into the river last year. It was too heavy to lift but we successfully milled it into liftable planks. Other jobs consisted of removing brambles and self seeded trees… read more

Eline was a great host, and very good cook!
We were kept busy with building projects and learned some new skills along the way. There wasn't as much working with the animals as we hoped, but I guess this varies seasonally.
We enjoyed exploring the area, particularly Groningen which is a really cool town.

It was a pleasure meeting and hosting Neil and Leilana.
Two great people with humor and very curious to get to know the region.

We stayed with Ioana and family at the end of summer so there was plenty of work to do clearing polytunnels and harvesting.
Each day there are orders to pick and collate so we learned about different produce and how it is grown in an organic environment.
There is a nice kitchen provided for Workawayers and lots of fresh produce to consume.

This was our first Workaway experience so it took us a little while to get used to the concept of sharing time with another family. Sonia and Graham were very well organised and have a great business which keeps everyone busy. We were very well fed with fresh produce and had plenty of opportunity to explore the fantastic surrounding area.
