Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Chance)
It took some time, but Chance has built a very nice bond with our dog Dutchy during her time with us. Nice to see how familiar Dutchy became with her.
I can recommend Chance as an excellent pet/house sitter (not in cold climates).
Chance likes to work individually and independently.
She is truly an artist , very creative and a stunning restorer!
… read more She has restored antique Dutch dolls just like a professional doll doctor. Chance can sew fantastically by hand and made invisibly repairs on both textiles and knitting. Truly amazing !
Heavy physical work is not suitable for her , but any fine detailed work is even a challenge and completed to perfection.
Chance like order and cleanliness.
According to food: make sure she can have a smoothie in the morning with greens. Greens are anyway here biggest necessity. And you can make here happy with big scampi's and seafood and of course Belgian chocolate.
We were very happy with all the help we received from Chance and feel blessed and thankful for this.
Who knows when our paths will cross again?

I had the opportunity to stay with Veerle, Cornelis and Dutchy for 2 months, both in Belgium (September) and Spain (October) - also a week in the Netherlands! They are a cheerful and generous couple who enjoy a good laugh and sharing their experiences...and their dog, Dutchy, became my sweet new best friend.
Veerle is a lifelong learner and a
… read more font of information on so many subjects! She's a wonderful cook, and there was lots of variety to the meals (and desserts!), using something fresh from the garden or market. She gave me my daily chores inside the house, while outdoors was more Cornelis' department. He is very dedicated to holistic health and spirituality, and shared several of his practices with me. We went on walks and bike rides together so I could get familiar with the neighborhoods and see where I might walk Dutchy, though by the end of my stay Dutchy & I were showing new trails to Cornelis!
Each day I took Dutchy for 2 walks. Once we got to know & trust each other, we had a great time, especially in Spain where she could be off-leash most of the time. She is quite attentive, knowing when she needs to stop running about and be put back on-leash. But if she sees a cat or squirrel, all bets are off!
Besides walking Dutchy, my chores were quite varied. I painted furniture, pulled weeds, mended clothes, helped winterize the yard, crocheted rabbits & flowers, organized & cleaned spaces, helped propagate oleander, became a doll doctor, power-washed a patio (muddy fun!), sewed designs onto christmas cards, and helped drive their van from Belgium to Spain. I had my own room, my days off were always the sunniest ones, and visiting other cities was easily done by bike, train or bus.
Thanks to Veerle for always sharing with me interesting history or locales to visit, to Dutchy for enthusiastic greetings each morning, and to Cornelis for indulging my new appreciation for football!

It was a very last-minute and short stay, but THANK YOU SO MUCH, Veerle and Cornelis, for allowing me to do a Workaway at your place.
During my stay, I did the following work: cleaning the house, taking Dutchy for a walk, and helping Cornelis with garden work (picking beans and clearing branches). I worked around 5 hours a day, and the work was

Ghent is a very beautiful city with delicious food (I had the best Belgian fries and waffles) and nice views (especially at night). I highly recommend visiting Ghent if you do a Workaway here. I loved the city so much that I visited Ghent around 3 times during my 6-7 night stay. I also enjoyed the tea time and Netflix time we had together.
Last but not least, a BIG THANK YOU to Veerle and Cornelis for allowing me to stay at their house in the Netherlands for a few days after finishing my Workaway in Belgium. After I mentioned that I was planning to stay in the Netherlands before going back to my home country, they offered me a place to stay at their house there.
It was such a nice experience, and I am really glad that I met Veerle, Cornelis, and Dutchy. I hope we can meet again sometime in the future.Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Joolee)

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Veerle and Cornelis (and Dutchy) in beautiful Belgium! They are both friendly and welcoming people, so I felt comfortable quickly in their house. They live in a great location: a quiet street in between two villages, quite close to the city of Ghent.
The work was relaxed and totally manageable. I worked 5 days a

I also really enjoyed taking the dog, Dutchy, on walks. She is a very friendly dog who loves attention, and we quickly became good friends. The working days were flexible from week to week, so we could decide together on a schedule, partially based on the quickly-changing weather. (It was pretty rainy during my time here, so I would recommend a raincoat!). Veerle and Cornelis always encouraged frequent tea breaks, and the amount of work was very reasonable.
On my days off, I was able to visit a lot of the nearby cities, like Brugge, Antwerp, and Brussels. The architecture and history of this area are fascinating, and Veerle provides some great tips of things to see in each city. The train system is fairly easy to navigate, and I was offered use of a bike too, so I could easily get to the closest train station or enjoy the immediate area by bike.
Veerle cooked delicious meals every day, and we enjoyed watching Bridgerton together in the evenings. She taught me how to knit little bunnies, which was so much fun, and we even attended a classical music concert and workshop together. They are both are thoughtful and creative people, so we shared many interesting conversations about a wide range of topics. I also started a lovely friendship with the neighbors across the road, who happily took me to church with them on Sundays. I feel very enriched from my stay in Belgium, and I would definitely recommend this Workaway experience to others!Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Caroline)

Dutchy was very welcoming and after some adjusting we were able to come to terms with my place in her pack, dominance is a virtue I have learned :) She loves walks and just being loved and given attention. She is a nibbler but it is nothing but pure affection which you will also learn very quickly how playful she is.
We hope to one day see you both again, and we could not thank you for a better first time work away experience!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Most of the work involved for me during my stay was chopping wood, which I quite enjoy anyway. Having Cornelius, or their friend Aaron, along your side to help makes it all the more enjoyable. Besides that, I would do smaller projects around the house or lend a hand where I could. Dutchy the dog has lots of energy so playing outside with her was very enjoyable. Veerle and Cornelius are incredibly easy to communicate with and flexible regarding the work. They always made sure I could have plenty of time for myself to venture off if I wanted. With great ease and enthusiasm, I highly recommend them as hosts. My time was so lovely it did make leaving a bit difficult but I always know I can return and see them again.
I cannot express enough thanks to you both and already miss you greatly. It was a privilege staying in your home and being in your presence. The memories made, and knowledge gained, during my time will be cherished forever.

We stayed with Veerle and Cornelis for 4 nights, and from the moment we walked through the front door we felt very welcome. They are both very lovely, friendly and incredibly interesting people. Over our stay we really enjoyed helping them with odd jobs around the garden and the house, such as weeding, general cleaning, organising, cutting
… read more firewood, gardening and clearing trees. The accommodation was fantastic, in a large bedroom in the beautiful house. We really enjoyed having a cup of tea with Veerle and Cornelis, and hearing their amazing life stories, talking about philosophy, beekeeping, and Belgium. Their old dog Skippy is very gentle and sweet. Chris enjoyed learning about and practising shiatsu with Cornelis. They were very helpful with suggesting things to do and places to visit. They even drove us to visit their friend who has many beehives which was an amazing experience. We went and saw Ghent and also Bruges, which was easy with the train station so close by. Veerle is an amazing cook, and we felt very lucky and spoilt the whole time. We could have easily stayed for longer, but unfortunately our travel commitments would not allow for this. Thank you very much Veerle and Cornelis, we hope to see you again one day - maybe in Tasmania! We highly recommend this Workaway.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

I had a great time with Veerle and Cok, they are fantastic hosts. Generous, super interesting (and interested!), and caring. Veerle is a great cook, and during our walks we had the most amazing conversations. Cok is happy to share his interests, he took me to his yoga and do-in classes, and took me canoeing as well.
The work was pleasant, a good
