Descrição
Hello! We are Jenna (31) and Livia (35), a couple living in London. Our long term plan is to move to the north of Spain and have our own land, but we'd like to get more experience through Workaway first. Jenna has done lots of Workaway placements around the world in her early twenties, Liv has done one (visiting Anna - Jenna's former host in Greece). We speak Spanish, French, Portuguese and English. Liv grew up in southern Portugal and has been in London for the last decade. In London, Jenna has worked with migrants for the past 8 years, currently working for a free legal advice charity and at a music venue running the box office in the evenings. Liv works at a coworking space, but used to run film festivals and is a big cinema lover. We both love gardening, cooking, eating, and animals.

Estuvo una semana acá, desafortunadamente nevó mucho así no podía salir y hacer por la zona lo que querría pero igual era una estancia bonita! El trabajo era variado - trabajando muy duro en un prado, rastrillando hojas y preparando nueces al lado del fuego! Tenía muchas ganas de trabajar con los caballos pero no podía por el nieve, pero Felipe me… read more

We had a great time with Jenna! She's very sweet, polite and clever girl. We're really sorry we didn't gave you enough tasks to make you feel confortable but the weather conditions (cold winter= raining everyday) didn't makes us any favor, and wouldn't make any favor to your health. By this you can tell she's a hard worker! We think cultural… read more

I spent just over a week with Victor and his family this June. It turned out to be more of a style set up, there wasn’t really any work for me to do which I hadn’t known - I think they’re more opening their home to travellers and for an intercultural exchange rather than for doing jobs. But this might be different if you go in spring or summer! I… read more

Kloe and I applied to come to the farm very last minute, and luckily Anna and Stavros got back to us straight away and said we could come a few days later for a week...we ended up staying for over 3 weeks! We were very lucky; we had a beautiful fully equipped granny-annexe appartment and balcony to ourselves where we could cook for ourselves and… read more

This is a really interesting concept with a lot of devoted, inspiring and hardworking people behind it. I had to cut my stay short so I spent just under a month there, but it still taught me a lot. They have beautiful grounds which they use as an outdoor classroom, and whilst I was there they had parents/musicians come in to teach drumming, harp,… read more and cinema skills. Their curriculum works by having a weekly theme, i.e 'water', 'Catalunya', 'inventors', and this theme is then applied to the different subjects for that week. They have Montessori materials for maths and literacy. I believe this was the first year that the children had had compulsory lessons, in years prior they had attended if they wanted to so for the older children this was a big adjustment. From 10-12 each day I was alone with the younger children, reading stories, playing games, chatting in English. This is an ideal time to let your creative playful teaching methods flow! In the afternoons I helped the English teacher Alba out, co-teaching through games she'd devised. Then I did playground duty with Layla before we took lunch together. Every Wednesday the whole school goes on a trip.
I was the first Workawayer Manel and Ana had had, and my stay with them was massively different from the other families I had stayed with in that it felt a lot more formal and everyone kept very much to themselves. They cut me a key after a couple of weeks so I could go out and explore and do things independently. I spent a lot of time with their younger daughter who is an amazing girl, she was very keen to practice English and to teach me some Catalan! We did a lot of swimming, crafts and walks around the town. The family have household staff which isn't something I was expecting and sat a little weirdly with me as someone from a modest background. I also had to go out and buy my own breakfast before school quite often. Location wise, they live in an enormous old house that takes up a whole block, a gorgeous beach is 5 minute walk away, the train station is 15 minutes walk away and it's about half an hour journey to Barcelona. I worked 10-2 each day so you have lots of time to go off and explore! You can get a 10 return trip ticket for 20 euros which is good. There are lots of little cafes in Premia and the teachers are really sociable and lovely as is Amparo who co-ordinates the Workaway! A couple of parents had approached me to do English play session with their kids outside school which would have been a great opportunity had I been able to stay. All in all, my time here was interesting and it was a good introduction into non-mainstream schooling. I think it would best suit someone that has a TEFL or some teaching experience or experience running kids camps for example, as I’d say the schools emphasis is mostly on learning through play rather than being democratic in the ways I’d researched before I came. Thanks so much for the experience! xxx

You will have an amazing time with Jerome, Anne, Elise and Camille. The work was varied and interesting - there was enough to do but never too much so you could have time to yourself, we mostly worked in the garden and did some cleaning. We took a trip to a local market and natural park for a walk, and when we weren't working we walked to Grasse,… read more

Hi! Sorry for not leaving feedback sooner. I didn't get to stay for too long but David Raquel Marta and Ireani were such nice people to be around, really friendly and relaxed but also not so relaxed that you feel like you need to ask for things to do/that you're being unhelpful as a guest. They make sure every job you're doing is what you're… read more

It is a pity that you stayed with us only a few days, because you were really great!! You always showed a very good approach towards anything we asked you to do (and even towards things that we did not ask you... as you had initiative yourself in many occasions!). Thank you very much for your reliability, responsibility (especially with the little… read more

I had a really lovely time with Gaizka, Mamen, Nacho and Dalai and would love to come back in the future. My first Workaway experience and it couldn't have been any better - very friendly, welcoming, thoughtful and intelligent people who were very keen to share and teach. I felt very welcomed into the family home and to get to make bread and… read more
