We are currently in UK (Surrey), looking for a new experience on the UK from mid December on! Please don't hesitate on contacting us :)
Description
Hi! We are Sabrina (28) and Martin (33), an argentinian couple with a huge passion for travelling, meeting new people and learning from different cultures. We love to experience the different ways people live life, sharing wisdom, conversations, music and caring (and cooking!). We are positive and open minded people, highly reliable and responsible, able to take initiative and work independently when it’s necessary.

Back in Argentina, Sabrina worked as a graphic designer and Martin as a lawyer, when we both decided to break the routine, get out of the comfort zone and start pursuing our dreams of travelling in 2018. We left our homes and stable jobs to start the adventure of our lifes. We lived in Denmark for 1 year, working on different jobs, and during that time we visited 7 countries and 15 cities. After that, we traveled to several countries in Europe and also to Morocco. Then, we went to Andorra to work for the winter season, where we also had the opportunity of enjoying it's beautiful natural surroundings almost on a daily basis.

During these past two years of beautiful experiences, we discovered that exploring, sharing, getting to know new places and people helped us growing as individuals and finding real happiness in the simple things of life, valuing each and every place and moment, enjoying our dream of travelling.

Laissé par le workawayer (Sabrina Giselle & Martin) pour l'hôte pour (Get creative with some garden ...)

Woww! Where to begin? At first, our workaway was supposed to be just for 4 weeks, but we where so happy and comfortable with Liz and Rory, we finally stayed with them for almost 3 months! :) It's been such a fantastic experience!!! We are so glad and thankful we had the opportunity of staying with them.

They are both very interesting and nice… read more persons, with a wide range of cultural knowledge. It was great to learn about history or british culture when sharing our weekly dinner together (or learning about dogs, of course!), and at the same time improve our english (we definitely improved our listening skills a lot when it comes to british accent!). They are honest, generous, kind, friendly, highly educated and with a great sense of humour. We are very thankful they trusted us their house, bikes, doggies and cats (what a responsibility! Haha!); they even introduced us their family (Liz's granddaughter is possibly the cutest baby in England!) and recommended us with a friend of them for a cleaning job. All that meant a lot to us.

We were helping with different tasks, which were never too hard or difficult (and very often one of the tasks was just walking lovely doggies!). At the same time, we were always given the proper tools and equipment, as well as some training to perform the job. We were mostly helping cleaning the house and garden, cutting the grass, using the leave blower, triming some plants, cleaning the cars, taking care of the dogs (feeding them in the morning and walking them), moving furniture and sometimes ironing.

The accommodation we were given (beautiful Mable!) was way beyond expectations. It's absolutely fabulous. Cozy, warm, new, clean, neat, smells great. We definitely enjoyed a lot staying there. It's a caravan located in a beautiful forest that is inside their property. Altough it's a caravan, it's actually so big you forget you're in a caravan, it's more like a real house in every way (even better than many houses i may say!). Great WiFi by the way, with a huge smart TV and Netflix. Kitchen fully equipped, comfortable bed, good shower. We really enjoyed it. Having breakfast watching the squirrels in the woods, hearing the birds, was something priceless!!

Also, when we were there we had the possibility of going to London for a couple of days, and visiting Guildford and Farnham as well. They also borrow us a couple of very good bikes, so we had the freedom of using them whenever we wanted (there are some cool places around easy to reach by bike, such as Bourne Woods, Weberley Abbey, Farnham, Guildford or Frensham).

Beautiful and unforgettable experience!! We miss you a lot! We are gonna be always thankful, and really hope to see you again! Lots of love to our furry friends, specially our little Tissy and Atti, the King of the Forest!!!

It’s been just 1 week since we left and we already miss a lot this wonderful family! For us, this was our first experience on Workaway, and we were so lucky to meet this beautiful people; they were the closest thing to a family we had since we left our country 2 years ago. They integrated us and were always super attentive to our needs, being… read more really nice, respectful and kind at any time or circumstance. We are truly grateful to them for sharing with us this incredible 45 days, and making us feel as part of the family. At first, we were supposed to be there for just 3 weeks, but we were so happy there that we decided to stay more than 6 weeks. They are super interesting people to talk with, we enjoyed so many stories and learned a lot of things from them.

We also had plenty of time to do many activities, such as enjoying the beautiful house and surroundings, using the amazing swimming pool, sailing around with the little boat (what a cool experience to have a boat and a river next to your house!), and our favourite activity: using the bikes to go to SO MANY charming and super well preserved medieval villages (such as Pujols, Villenueve Sur Lot, Penne d’Agenais, Le Temple Sur Lot, Saint Livrade Sur Lot, Saint Pastour, Casseneuil). We were actually super lucky because, seen that we love traveling, Stefan took us to beautiful cities near to some customers he had to visit in different times (he travels a lot for his job, he is such as hard worker and active person). That way, we had the chance to visit Bordeaux, Bergerac, Montpellier and Monflanquin. He was always really attentive to our needs when making his own working schedule. We highly appreciate it, that kind of attention was way more than we could expect.

Regarding the different tasks we did, firstly we must say it didn’t feel like working; it felt more like giving a hand around, like you could do with your own family. At first, we were painting and sanding walls, as well as preparing 2 big and beautiful rooms to be rented for the Bed & Breakfast they are running at the house. After painting and preparing the rooms on the first week, we were working giving a hand to Maricka with the day to day tasks related to the Bed & Breakfast, such as housekeeping of the rooms and common areas of the house (that was our most common task), ironing linen or towels for the guest’s rooms, giving a hand with the breakfast and watering plants. We even washed the dogs once :) ! Maricka is a super interesting woman, always kind and nice to us, an excellent host and very hard worker who splits her time to run the Bed & Breakfast project and work at her main job.

If you have the possibility, we totally recommend you to spend a workaway experience with this lovely belgium family. You wouldn’t regret at all. You will have the chance to discover a fantastic part of France (especially if you love nature and/or history, just as we do!), and at the same time, have a super interesting cultural immersion with a beautiful family.

We miss you! Send our greetings to Paco, the biggest and cutest puppy in town! :)
