Descrição
We have now been on our Workaway journey for 4 years, living and travelling in our mo
During 2024 we took a step back from travelling to renovate our own base - a historic Victorian Gate Lodge. With that now complete we are ready to get back on the road.
To be able to visit and explore different parts of the country while sharing our skills and abilities with others is extremely rewarding for us. We are fit, willing to get stuck in and quick learners with an appetite for a challenge.
We are at our happiest in the countryside and with nature. Whether exploring on foot or by bike, photographing, foraging or simply admiring the view, there is always something to enjoy in the great outdoors regardless of where we are.
We live in our motorhome full time and are self contained, all we need is water, a plug socket and somewhere to park. We are happy to join in at family mealtimes or to do our own thing as circumstances dictate.

Quais são suas habilidades?
We are both extremely active and hands on. Our recent property development experience has taught us many useful land based skills including excavator driving, chainsaw & strimmer operation, ground clearance, demolition, walling etc. We are both competent and adventurous cooks with a taste for Slow Food. Neil has previous experience in business startups, marketing, advertising, copywriting, editing and is computer literate.
Also extensive mechanical knowledge, an interest in automotive and 4x4s, having previously worked as an instructor for Land Rover. Leilani has experience in childcare, nannying and housekeeping as well as a flair for interior design and design consultancy experience in home furnishing retail. We are interested in projects that utilise our existing skills but are equally keen to learn something new along the way.

We spent a busy fortnight working with Steve and Jane to tidy up their huge garden after the Winter. This is an idyllic setting and perfect for those who want to get away from it all. That said there is plenty to explore in the surrounding area from coast to the unique Marais.

They were very hospitable hosts and there was always plenty to eat and drink. The cottage was very nice to stay in for the cold winter weather.

Neil & Leilani were great at just getting on with a job. They tackled a range of jobs whilst staying with us, but I think their forte was organising and tidying a series of rooms that had got out of control with stuff & dust! Everything cleaned and organised which was a huge help.
Nice people too :)

Eline was a great host, and very good cook!
We were kept busy with building projects and learned some new skills along the way. There wasn't as much working with the animals as we hoped, but I guess this varies seasonally.
We enjoyed exploring the area, particularly Groningen which is a really cool town.
