Descrição
Jo - I have been fortunate to experience a number of careers throughout my life. Now, I have been given the opportunity to tread a new path and feel that I am beginning to discover my potential. I am not in the first flush of youth, but I have great passion, empathy and determination. I want to discover new places and learn new skills. I believe I have a great strength of character, born mostly out of experience, a good of humour and sense of adventure. I am excited and looking forward to challenging myself further using this platform.
Dave - After many years of hard work in the water purification industry, and after a personal loss, I have relocated to Portugal with Jo to begin a new life. I have always had a burning desire to travel and explore as much of the world as possible. I now have that opportunity as Jo is like-minded.
I am determined, enthusiastic, positive, laid back and whilst not an expert in any one thing, I can turn my hand to most tasks. I am a keen paraglider and sports lover, having played cricket, football and golf.
I have begun to discover my 'yin' side and now enjoy yoga and pilates and practise several times a week.

It was our first experience using the Workaway platform. Jo and Dave stayed in our holiday home for 4 weeks. During the first week, we spent time together to get to know each other and explained all the necessary work that needed to be done. We were away for 3 weeks, and they organized their free time and working time according to their own… read more

Silvia and Leonardo provided the most amazing experience for us at their house in Mollis. Their communication and explanation of tasks was clear and precise, but they were very flexible and allowed us to work to our schedule. We took care of their house and garden whilst they went away and it gave us the incredible opportunity of visiting the… read more

Jo & David were our very first experience with Workaway and volunteers. And what a great experience it was to meet those two beautiful people! All the farm work is starting to get too much for my partner and I. There is never enough time for everything, and also it can be pretty exhausting. But we hit a jackpot with Jo & David! Not only they can… read more

Nevenka and Nikola were waiting to welcome us with a beautiful meal and celebratory Raki and wine! We stayed 10 days with this remarkable couple and enjoyed their company, the cultural exchange and learnt so much. They really wanted us to see some local sites and took us to Kuterevo to see the bear sanctuary, where we also met the owner and… read more

What a fantastic couple, they did all the assigned tasks perfectly (to tell the truth, we took a tour of the property on the first day where I showed them the work and then they did it all independently) not to mention that in their free time they went into the kitchen and after a while there were always excellent homemade biscuits for the English… read more

We spent nearly 3 weeks at Lago Moro, staying with Isacco, Barbara and their family. It was a truly enriching experience and so much fun! We felt so welcomed from the moment we arrived and they did everything possible to make us comfortable during our stay. We loved working hard on the land and being rewarded with fabulous local cuisine cooked… read more

David and Jo are great fun and a pleasure to host!
They certainly embraced all the experiences they were able to enjoy in the Valley during their 3 week stay and did an incredible job repainting the Billiard room. It has a new lease on life!
With their enthusiasm, energy and skills, Dave and Jo are a great team to have on board!

Shelley was extremely welcoming and introduced us to Shown who looked after all our needs throughout our three week stay. It offers a rare traditional Drakensberg experience in the most beautiful of settings. We arrived after the madness of the Festive season so it was quiet but we were given the task of bringing the beautiful Snooker room back… read more

We were equally depressed having left Sarah and Graham's place. What an incredible adventure we had. We fell in love with the valley and their neighbours but especially Dim, Beast and Nzuri, Goggles, Roxy, 'Billy' and Aladdin. Admittedly, the Roosters, not so much ;-). The time we spent with you, whether at dinner or helping to organise the race… read more

The problem with inviting Workaways to housesit when we are away is that we don't actually get much time with them. And Jo and Dave are wonderful, interesting, fun people you want to spend time with! I feel like my sister just came for a visit and organised my life as well as cleaned my home. They spent a month here while we were mostly away and… read more
