Description
We are a early 60's couple from Connecticut and Florida who retired in April 2016. We are getting back into living a workaway lifestyle, travelling the world, meeting new people and learning new skills. We are both healthy and able to pull more than our own weight. We enjoy all new experiences and live by the motto "Life is a collection of experiences, those who collect the most - win."

We have worked with over 25 hosts and have done many different things. We've managed a hostel, done lots of painting and landscaping and even worked onboard several boats and a pearl farm. We love dogs and have worked at dog rescue and breeders. We've worked at several hospitality eco-lodges interacting with guests while assisting with maintenance, cleaning and managing reservations. If we haven't done it yet, we are willing to learn.

The host with the most. We’ve been to dozens of workaway locations and we have to say that Martin has made us feel like family unlike than any other. And the food! We’ve never eaten as well has we have here. We will definitely miss his cooking and his delicious coffee. One of the many things that makes it so special here is that Martin truly… read more

Robin and Mike were a blessing to us and our vessel. They stayed with us for about 6 weeks and helped us with painting and organizing. They are super hard workers and follow instructions well and ask the right questions. They are positive and easy to live with and communicate with. They were very very considerate of our space and making sure they… read more

We just completed five weeks with Jess and Brian aboard their boat the Sacajawea in Pillar Point Harbor just south of San Francisco.

Robin and Mike really saved us. We had a huge remodeling project on our hands, while working full-time, and we’re feeling pretty overwhelmed. We had another Workaway experience before them, with unskilled workers, that felt more like extra work than help, so we were unsure if we even wanted to try another Workaway. But we are so glad we did! Robin… read more

We just completed a six week stay with Zara and Aaron at their beautiful home in Reunion FL. Our job was to help prepare the home to be a Disney themed vacation rental. We did LOTS of painting, walls, trim, outdoor furniture, exterior walls… It was really nice to be able to see progress, see the results of our labor and watch a room come together… read more

It was absolute delight having Mike and Robyn stay with us for this time. Such amazing workers, I certainly learnt a thing or two from them about HARD WORK. I really appreciated the effort they put in, they were lovely company and had the ability to fit in with crazy Aussies as well as really good , honest workers. Would recommend them to anybody.… read more

It was a total delight hosting Robin and Mike at the Retreat. They are lovely people, really caring and compassionate. In addition they are great workers! Every task we asked them to do was done so well and to immaculate standards. They slotted in brilliantly with Retreat life and were always great company.

This is the kind of workaway that makes you feel good for having been a small part of the important work the hosts do. This is a retreat for people who are going through tough times and need a break to relax and get things back in order. The hosts are very giving and appreciative of all our efforts. Our job was to feed the animals in the morning… read more

The host with the most. Dean is the kind of host that workaway was made for. Not only were we involved with the refurbishment of a local landmark but we also got to experience the Kiwi culture. The work involves converting an 1888 tavern into a beautiful classic home. There are jobs for almost every interest and skill level. We did lots of… read more

Its hard to know where to start when describing how fantastic these 2 characters are. I reached out to Robin and Mike after reading their profile and feedback from other hosts.

We enjoyed having Robin and Mike on board our ship as part of the work away experience. Immediately when we think of Robin and Mike we think of the words dynamic and enthusiastic. Because it was with booming enthusiasm, that they took on each project as if it were their own and took great pride in the results. They were a good example to others -… read more

We spent 2 months aboard with the owners Dave, Mark and Rick. It was by far the most adventurous Workaway experience we’ve had. We immediately felt like old friends and our efforts were always appreciated. We also learned a lot about the yachting lifestyle, mostly about rum and why it’s always gone.

We spent 2 months working with Terri at his beautiful eco-lodge during December and January. The lodge is remote, it may not be at the end of the road but you can see it from there. It has the unique location of being on the beach and in the jungle at the same time. Carate beach is huge, and mostly deserted except for the turtles. We were lucky… read more

Mike and Robin are above and beyond what we could have ever asked for! This was our first workaway experience as hosts, and their experience was tremendously appreciated. Mature, honest and responsible, all you have to do is ask and then consider it done. Fun and pleasant and at the same time, ambitious! What a treasure to have here!

Robin and Mike came to us first as guests. Two years later they came back as volunteers.

They are mature, completely trustworthy , responsible and… read more
