Descrição
We met in 2007 on the dance floor (folk dancing). A few years later we married and bought (and refurbished) a house together (till that point, a bit standard).
We don't have kids, we don't have a car, television or microwave. And in 2020 (returning from an eye-opening trip to Ecuador) we decided not to work full time any more in order to have time for all the important things of life.

From 2012 to 2024 we had a fairly big garden which after a few years provided most of our veggies and a big portion of our fruit most of the year. Recycling and reusing items is our first choice when we (think we) need something. We said goodbye to our flush toilet and made ourselves a simple composting toilet!
In 2022-2024 we spent in total 10 months in India, mostly in Gujarat and Rajasthan, having fallen in love with the Indian village life.

We decided to sell the house we had refurbished in order to buy a small apartment in the heart of Brussels. No garden anymore, but we are now mortgage-free and can spend even more time travelling.

For the moment we live in the city, which we love. But we are even more appealed to nature. We like birdwatching and long walks while enjoying nature and wildlife.

We stayed with Naran for only 5 days but would have loved to stay longer. His farm is very beautiful. We helped with watering the wheat field and cooked together one evening on the thule.
Naran showed us many artisans in the neighbourhood and we could attend part of a Gujarati wedding. His wife is a really good cook, so we could enjoy delicious… read more

Due to our tight schedule, we could only stay at Rinku's guest house for 5 nights and would recommend everyone to stay longer.
Rinku is a very good Workaway host. He communicates very well. With previous hosts we often felt at a loss how to reach the place or what to expect. Not with him.

He leaves it up to you to decide how you want to… read more

We stayed two weeks in Rams' and Rama's farm and that was way too short. We helped them watering and mulching lots of newly planted trees and scrubs, sprayed the mango's with an organic mixture and repaired one of their solar cookers. Each day started with the cleaning of the cowshed, and how I loved it. Rama provided us with delicious South… read more

Despite the initial hiccup on communication and resulting difficulties ( Kurt and Loe had to go back and return the next day), we had a wonderful pair in Kurt and Loe. They were both very much aligned with our way of living and thinking. They worked hard, took a lot of initiative and helped us in many farm activities - mainly watering and… read more

We stayed one week at Tushars farm.
The surrounding are absolutely stunning. And there are lovely walks nearby. A tip: take the dogs with you if you can. They will love you for it. We saw a great many birds to.
The focus on Tushar's farm is not on the work but on the connection to each other.
We thrashed some rice (max 2 hours a day), did some… read more

They were amazing! I have to say my garden has never looked so good, my neighbours were even commenting they worked too hard :-) They did way beyond what I asked and transformed my yard. Also, they were kind with my cats, very creative cooks, they left my house beautiful. Also they did some painting and it was done to perfection I was away during… read more

We have enjoyed our three week's stay at Irene's very much. If you want to get away from all the noise of the city, this most certainly is the perfect place for you. Irene is a caring, communicative host who wants her Workaway guests to be comfortable. During most of our visit she was away on a trip to America but she took care we had everything… read more

This was our first Workaway experience and it was perfect. We only stayed for twelve days, but we would have loved to stay some weeks more.

As Pelle needs to go to Stockholm for his job for a week at least once every month, chances are fairly big you will be alone for some time, in charge of the 15 or so chickens (and in the mean time feeding the… read more
