Deixado pelo Workawayer (Irina) para o anfitrião
I had the incredible opportunity to spend three months in Vallejo, CA, with the family, and it was truly a life-changing experience. John , my host, welcomed me into his home through Workaway and treated me like a member of his family.
As an artist myself, it was inspiring to connect with John, who is also an artist. We exchanged ideas and
… read more experiences, which enriched my perspective and fueled my creativity. Beyond the artistic connection, the entire family made me feel included in their lives, sharing their warmth, kindness, and hospitality in a way I will never forget.
During my stay, I also had the best opportunity to improve my language skills while participating in all kinds of events. The family was incredibly supportive, even helping me with my English studies, which was invaluable to me.
John is an exceptional host, thoughtful and generous, always ensuring that I felt comfortable and supported. I am deeply grateful for the time I spent with the family and for the countless memories we created together. I wholeheartedly recommend staying with John if you have the chance—this experience will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact, just as it has on me.

Throughout Julia's hospice we honed in on hosting established artists, quickly realizing powerful and extraordinary encounters between such artists' 'Way', and the end of life as we joyfully embrace it during our matriarch's astonishing journey. Irina supported and created extraordinary moments with equal intensity for our family, leaving behind

Irina, I especially appreciate our intentions toward parenting. I learned so much from you and hold dear the trust we share between our families.

The family, including a really sweet small dog, made sure I felt welcome. John likes to share stories and showed me around in the area. He is really passionate about art, and I think his drawings are very good. The house is beautiful, and I got to stay in a nice clean room with a bathroom. Eventually we decided not to exchange, but it was really

We were fortunate to receive Iris at the beginning of her adventure. She is who she says she is and more! Kind, considerate, authentic and talented. Although we opted not to exchange, the encounter was sincere and rewarding. Iris is welcome back anytime.

John is a wonderful host! He made me feel at home the minute I arrived in his amazing house. He is full of kindness, generosity and creative ideas. We had a great time cooking, sharing stories and going on adventures together. Really good at drawing, he gave me lessons to improve mine. I spent a peaceful week and I was happy to explore different

In the simplest terms, Lulu is one of the most down to earth, fun, and helpful individuals we have come across. If you are fortunate enough to hear stories of her extended family, you will quickly understand her warm and open nature and atypical wisdom.

Michela is full of magical qualities that go way beyond the scope of the work she is brought on to do. Some will see it, some will not. Blessed are those that do, for they will be touched deeply and lives will change.

Anyone who has the chance to be in this family will feel blessed. The joy kindness warmth love positivity and highly artistic environment make this place a sacred nest where workawayers can spread their wings feeling safe and welcomed. Julia is a special soul and is simply impossible not to adore her, John is lovely and full of ideas in which you

Paul, John's dad is one of the kindest being I've ever met, responsable of the harmony of the house and the great energy in it. All the rest of the family is simply great is the first time for me to have been so comfortable in every aspect.
The work with Julia it's very interesting and teached me a lot. She won't miss the opportunity to thank you and bless your heart everytime you help her to go to sleep, she is full of love and magic, it was a deep encounter to me. I can't thank enough this family and i recommend and suggest to try this experience which can leads to anything your soul is looking for, learning and growing everyday.
Thank you!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Jenni and I exchanged wonderful ideas regarding art, collaboration, family and travels. She is an amazing writer with fascinating ideas. Her ability to care for Julia is heartfelt, kind, and consistent. In fact, it is hard to imagine a better elderly companion than Jenni. She seemed to absorb the joy and wisdom of Julia to inspire and inform.
… read more HIghlights of her stay include laughing together at the funny and insightful comments from Julia; wise and well timed wisdom.
I was disappointed Jenni did not care to share her creative side. I'm sure it was my loss. Ultimately it is fine to spend time painting and writing in her room in solitude, despite my wanting her energy and help in the main studio. But since that was her preference, I found a little desk to put in her room so she could enjoy her time alone. Because she is so quiet we were concerned she was not happy and we had a hard time getting a response on if she is okay and how we can make her more at home.
Maybe somewhere down the road I'll run across Jenni's art after she publishes her book! But I hope it is before then. 'I miss Jenni', has been uttered by Poppa on more than one occasion! We miss her very much and will open our doors anytime for her. Delightful soul, intelligent and kind.

If your needs match Katharina's skillset consider yourself lucky! Not only did she excel at the business tasks at hand, she went above and beyond her 'duties' by showing innate compassion and care-taking for our dear Julia. Katharina has many 'hidden' talents. Most important, she has a character quality which likely cannot be learned. This is a

If I had to find constructive criticism, I'd be at a loss; 'let us help you more and don't take everything on yourself'? might be all I could offer to this intelligent, independent, and at times stubborn ( wanting to manage on her own ) young person.

I really enjoyed staying with John. His flexibility in dates really helped me with being able to plan my trip with minimal stress. He is fun to be around, very reliable and made sure I had everything I needed and felt comfortable. It was great meeting his family, especially his mother who despite her condition is very friendly and still very much

It is a bit difficult getting from Vallejo into San Francisco without driving, but if you aren't set on seeing the city for an extended period, the ferry can be quite convenient and sufficient. In such a case, I would highly recommend contacting John as a potential host. Thank you John for making my stay in Vallejo a truly amazing and memorable experience!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.
