Descrição
Traveller and food writer from New Zealand, always looking forward to new challenges and experiences. Currently I want to learn as much as possible about olives (as well as sustainable farming and food production in general). I'm often working on writing projects, too, so having a bit of free time for this, while also enjoying new places and a bit of structure/work, is what I like about Workaway.

David, an extraordinary volunteer and friend! We would recommend him to any host. David is always keen to help and learn, extremely curious and interested in what surrounds him.

Fantastic. This is such a wonderful place, in so many different ways, that I really don’t know where to start. You will be welcomed with big smiles and warm hearts, not only by Zulaika, Captain, Kakak, and the wonderful workers, but by people in the village and visitors to the farm, which all really makes you feel at home (well, that is if you’re… read more

We are so grateful to have had David stay with us. His spirit and enthusiasm brought wonderful energy to our space. In the short time he was here, he worked really hard with another volunteers to plant over 300 coffee plants. Everybody was really impressed and we are really grateful for the effort and efficiency of the work, just in time to thrive… read more

Having David was a pleasure, we wished it was longer and that we should have given him more opportunities to make delicious thing (the onion marmalade is almost empty!). He was very reliable, hands on and focused while working and super chill to hangout with in our free time. All in all a nice experience!

It was so lovely to share Olli and Miri's little oasis, even though it was for a much shorter time than I had hoped! They are both so easy-going, flexible, kind and relaxed, yet can give enough guidance to teach you a lot about permaculture and sustainable farming. The location is superb, an easy bike ride/walk into Sanski Most but supremely… read more

This place has such a beautiful setting and good working environment that it's hard to do it justice through words.

The volunteer accommodation is homely and… read more

David was a great help to us in the B&B over the summer, willing to do anything. He was our only member of staff and worked well on his own. Fast learner and very good with the guests, picking up the local history and attractions very quickly.
Thanks David Hope we see you again.

What a wonderful family. I only arranged to come last minute, but right from the start Jo and Antonio made me feel entirely comfortable. The work is stress-free, enjoyable yet rewarding. Jo would have to be the best exponent of Yorkshire-Tuscan fusion food in the world, an expert in both that made every meal a highlight in itself! Franz is… read more

Absolutely stunning location and a fantastic place to work. Antonio was great to spend time with, always up for a laugh and on hand if you had any queries. The pizza oven and swimming in the lake everyday are only two of the things I miss already! Highly recommended.

David, it was great having you to stay for 2 weeks back in July. You were always keen to get stuck into any jobs we asked of you and showed plenty of initiative in noticing jobs that needed doing and simply got on with them. Thanks to you the vast mountain of wood to be chopped has diminshed somewhat. We enjoyed all the interesting conversations… read more
