Description
Hi! We're a teacher and a magician with two home-educated boys, Rudi aged 8 and Nico 5. We are looking to broaden our horizons in 2025 and show our boys more of the world, whilst getting to meet wonderful new people and share our skills. We are currently staying in Alanya, Turkey.
The boys are lively and fun loving, their hobbies include reading, drawing, lego, being out in nature, riding bikes and stroking cats!
Before having children we worked abroad teaching English as a foreign language in South Korea and Saudi Arabia. We travelled a fair bit to, and did a few workaways in Australia and Spain. Rachel loves to write and is currently working on her novel, she also loves adventuring, paddleboarding and wild swimming. Lee is pretty much happy anywhere and even better if he has as a deck of cards to hand. He loves to perform to any willing participants!
We consider ourselves to be helpful and useful human beings! We all enjoy learning new things, gaining new experiences and meeting interesting people.

We had a great time at Margaret's beautiful place. She was a great host, with lots of good stories and conversation. The work was fun and varied, with regular, clear hours. There was so much to see around the property, such as all Margaret's wonderful art projects. Margaret was kind and helpful, picking us up from the train station on arrival and… read more

Thank you Rachel and Lee for arriving at our place at short notice, I certainly needed help with an arm out of order... You where fun to have around, and very good help all around, lots of interesting conversations. We really liked your attitude, it was easy to have you with us.
All the best for your roaming around the globe!

Sophie and Greg responded very quickly to our enquiry and were wonderful, welcoming hosts. They made us feel at home from the first moment. Their home is lovely and the retreat beautiful. The work was varied and fun, especially if you like being outdoors. We had a lot of interesting conversations and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Also, Sophie is an… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer ()

Most amazing workaways. Ever. Rachel and Lee are simply the most perfect pair you could ever hope to have stay. From the moment they arrived, it was as if they had been here for years. very comfortable. They are polite, respectful and hardworking, and yet full of mischief, fun and fancy.

I never imagined Lee would actually be a GOOD magician. I… read more thought he might have a few slightly lame but amusing tricks - the sort you get at a kids toy store. Maybe he might be a little better than that. Except - he arrived and I quickly realised he was a commercial quality magician, masquerading as a traveller. His magic simply amazed a lot of folk he showed, and he has an infectious laughable smile, that makes everyone happy as they watch the impossible happen right before your eyes. This was someone I'd pay to go see, and boast to my friends that I actually knew. (No really - I have met him!). But yet here he was, washing sheets, cleaning my home, and mowing my lawn, and even using his magic skills in the kitchen to conjure up many delicious creations. To say I got more out of the engagement with him than expected would be an understatement.

But wait, there's more. Not only do you get the incredible Lee, but you also get the Amazing Rachel. Worthy of a capital A, and so much more. She is sweetness and light personified, in a similarly mischievous personality that can only make you smile and be happy, when she is around. She is so clever, having done her Masters in literature like Lee (he completed his while they stayed here for around five weeks). Rachel is so clever, with great attention to detail. She was a fantastic help with organising my (soon to be) famous Bnb treasure hunt, and much more. Whenever I thought she was wrong in something, it turned out it was actually me. She would correct me politely but with confidence, and I am so appreciative she was not boring and overly polite. She has just enough polite, but not enough to get in the way. Perfect.

Like Lee, Rachel is so dedicated and hardworking. They are both amazing with children, and Rachel is working on her childrens book with such inspired colorful illustrations. They said they didn't want to gush as it might look weird, but I can't hold back so bad luck. These pair were such a fantastic and dynamic duo, that I still can't believe it is possible to have such talent turn up on your doorstep, for little more than a sausage, and perform magical miracles while staying here. I miss them already, Mr Magic and Ms Ukulele, and would highly recommend them to any other host.

What can we say? Chris is a wonderful, kind, HILARIOUS man who will keep you entertained for days with his wacky ways. He's totally relaxed and easy going and we felt at home from the moment we walked through the door. We were given a variety of jobs to do- all fun and games such as using the robotic vacuum cleaner, mowing the lawn, making beds… read more
