Description
After 20 odd years raising four children, we decided in 2016 it was time for a change of emphasis in our lives. We gave up our full-time jobs to work on renovating our old house and travelling whilst working part-time.
We both previously had jobs which involved a lot of travel and experiencing different cultures, but now we want to really understand other cultures and different points of view.
We both like a simple life, and try to meditate and enjoy our time whilst respecting our planet. We have four adult children who all love to travel and from whom we learn so much. We have a lot of knowledge and experience which we are happy to exchange with others.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
We are both very good interacting with people and animals. Richard is very practical with things like basic woodworking and simple construction. Sabine is a qualified Engineer but also very practical and can turn her hand to almost every task. She is also a dab hand at gardening! But our real love is breaking down barriers and making a difference.

Autres infos...
Both of us have done volunteering work in various roles over the last 20 years. In 2016, in addition to Workaway, we have volunteered at two music festivals in the UK in a stewarding role, and at the Oxfam Trailwalker festival- an endurance fundraising event in support of the Ghurka Welfare Trust. We are registered Oxfam volunteers.
In 2017 we volunteered again for Oxfam (Including Glastonbury!), and in 2018 we enjoyed more Workaway projects in Crete, along with volunteering for various organisations.
For 2019 we are looking to travel to southern Spain for the whole of May, to discover some of this fascinating region, hopefully we can find some Workaway possibilities along the way!

Our stay with Valerie and Miel was different to what we expected as they had both been quite unwell around the time of our time with them. The dogs are great characters and fun to walk and we ate very well during our time. We very much liked the area and Valerie and Miel were very generous to us.

29th April to 13th May. A really lovely couple, who just fitted in. We had unfortunately both been in hospital, so all planned work just changed.Sabine and Richard just took over all of the dog walking duties, gardening, washing up etc. In fact when the kitchen sink blocked one day, Richard just got on and did it without even being asked.Time… read more

Many personal thanks for Joelle for having been a brilliant host. We had a great time at her beautiful place and she has taken care of us so well. Since she is very well connected we also met a lot of other lovely people. Food was brilliant. We were sad to leave

Sabine and Richard are a rare couple, we would like to see more often people like them, lovers after so many years together! They are easygoing and their work is just perfect, they installed me a whole system of watering, a professional could not have done better. They are amazing.

Richard and Sabine are an amazing couple. They are so easy to get along with and I really enjoyed having them here. I let them choose what they wanted to do while they were here as they had so many skills. I now have an outside tap and running water in the kitchen, which still makes me smile every day and I wonder how I got by without for so many… read more

We had a great week with Jacqui recently, doing many different jobs around the house and farm. Jacqui likes to let you choose your own tasks and play to your strengths. She is very open and welcoming, and this was the perfect way to end our Workaway experience for 2016. I am sure we will stay in touch!

I was just delighted to have met and shared a week of "mini-vation", adventuring, sharing work and life stories, discussing practical and philosophical things with Richard and Sabine.

They are indeed as they say : very good interacting with people, very practical and able to turn their hands to almost every task. They really did make a… read more

Just spent a week with Tanya helping with the flat "Minivation" (We even learnt new vocabulary!). Tanya is a really nice and positive host with lots of ideas for things to do in Prague.
The Location is great with excellent public transport links to Prague centre as well as some good pubs and a brewery in the immediate vicinity.
The work is… read more

Thanks Richard and Sabine, it was great having you here!
We gave Richard and Sabine some specific tasks to complete in their 2 weeks with us - such as design and build a pig ark that was both sturdy enough for our pigs, yet easy for us to carry, which they did to a very high standard. In addition they were eager to help out with the everyday… read more

Just finished a wonderful two weeks with Diane and Thomas. This was our first Workaway "Job" and a great introduction. Diane and Thomas are very hospitable and knowledgeable, and looked after us well. There´s a collection of free roaming animals and plenty of work to be done, all in a very relaxed and informal manner. We learnt and laughed a lot.
