Andrew stayed at my house for quite awhile, he actually came twice... He was a good communicator and was conscientious about his work. He would get up early to get the work done which I appreciated. He took care of the chickens, did garden work and sanding and painting furniture.
I recommend Andrew!

Had a beautiful experience on Allonissos with Amy and her family. Would definitely recommend. Was looked after,fed well and given a good room. Stunning location. Would suit people who like nature and a quiet life as well as lively political and theological debate.

Andrew is a big man with beautiful soul to share as a friend. He had an open heart to animals. Everyday, he helps us with housework like cleaning and taking care of the garden. At first, he will be a bit clumsy but we are greatful for his efforts. Please patient with him.
Thanks a lot for everything Andy!

Andrew is a humble and hard-working "uncle". He always does his job well. In an environment full of free and liberal young people, Andrew and his standards help us get better every day.
It's great to work with him. If the rating system had 100 stars, I would rate him 100 stars because he deserves it all.

Andrew was a great help in preparing my move to Koh Mak. He put a lot of effort into refurbishing my furniture and helped pack it up. During the time that I couldn't be there, he worked independently and looked after the house and my animals very well. I can absolutely recommend Andrew and wish him all the best and many more good work away… read more

Andrew has a wonderful attitude. He was willing to roll with many punches, changes. It’s challenging to give 4 instead of 5 stars to someone with whom you feel is such a kind and high integrity human. However, this is Workaway and Andrew made two big mistakes on a job. One mistake he fixed, the other he offered to pay for. Not a chance! He’s a… read more

The site is a bit isolated from civilisation so if you like peace and quiet and nature this is a great place.
