Algo mais...
I am a firm believer that a change is as good as a rest and I would love to spend some of my free time exploring new places and meeting new people. I spent some time in the summer of 2018 helping out in a cafe in Ireland and I loved every minute of it. Then I had the good fortune to spend two weeks in Sligo in 2019 and another (almost) two in Newtonards in 2020 and again, it was everything I had hoped for and more. Then I was lucky enough to stay in county Clare in 2021 and loved every minute of it.

Monika was superhero to share my home with. A really lovely and interesting lady. We had lots of fun during her stay. I felt like I was on holidays while at home.
She is a hard and thoughtful worker. I loom forward to spending time with her again. She was very kind and interactive with my family and friends. She also makes amazing cakes.

Oh my, where do I start… I had a heavenly time in co. Cork, absolutely everything I was hoping for and so much more. First of all, I got to spend time with Áine, a fun, kind, generous person, down to earth, always as good as her word and such a good laugh. I loved her company, the chance to talk, exchange stories, laugh and watch TV, pet her sweet… read more

My week with Bridget, Dessie and Shannon was just grand. I loved the work, the conversations, the chance to immerse myself in the beauty of Co. Meath. They were fun to be with, friendly and ever so kind. I was so lucky - I got all I was hoping for - great people, green fields and sensible work. Thank you thank you thank you!

Monika is a wonderful lady, full of life and brings a wealth of life knowledge with her. We really got on very well, and fitted in around our family and our lifestyle. No job was too big for her. She is a talented lady and well read. We shared many stories around life in general, as we were around the same age, so had similar life experiences.… read more

I absolutely loved my two weeks with Majella, Michael and the boys. They are kind, fun and do their best to provide the nicest workaway experience you can hope for. I was treated like a family member, offered a lovely place to stay, grand home-made food, a chance to accompany my hosts on their errands to Kilkenny, Carlow, Enniscorthy, I was given… read more

Monika is a hibernophile, and has visited Ireland a number of times. Fluent in English, she is very chatty and can hold a conversation on almost any topic. She stayed with me for a week and was very helpful, working in the garden and also inside. She is considerate, always offering to help, works hard, and is easy company - I would recommend… read more

I was taken care of and offered lifts, tips and… read more

I could not have asked for a lovelier place to go to. First of all, my hosts were two grand people, who took me in at a short notice, in spite of the Covid and in spite of my having 1.5 hands to work with – I had sprained my wrist several days before coming over. Still, they welcomed me there. They are both the kind of people you totally want to… read more

I loved my two-week stay with John. He is absolutely kind, knowledgeable, ready to talk to you and show you places. I enjoyed working with him - the work is not too hard and you get to learn things. My Kindle is full of books inspired by what John told me, I met a lot of his neighbours, I saw a lot of places and I loved waking up in the middle of… read more
