Description
Hi, I'm an Australian male travelling around Europe by bicycle with my girlfriend Hannah. We just decided that we would like to do a workaway before going home, so we're looking for somewhere in Tuscany. I've probably given you more information in my message to you than you'll find here :)
All the things which are in everyone's profile such as "reliable" and "hard working" also obviously apply here. I genuinely love throwing myself in to jobs and getting things done.

Geoff and Jenny were generous hosts and fantastic people to spend our workaway time with. The weather was very hot, so we got most of the work out of the way early in the day. Each work day was generally feeding the animals and letting them out in the morning around 7am, then doing a few hours of varied work before lunch. The animals were put away… read more

I was only teaching in Boicucanga for one week, but I loved every minute of it. The students often came up with really enlightening answers to the questions the Callan Method provides. The volunteering team was lots of fun and I was really sad to leave after only a week.

I stayed with Daniela for three weeks and had a great time. Two or three mornings a week we would go to a nearby beach for surfing and swimming before school. I didn't really see the work as real work because the kids were so much fun. Often I would stay longer to play hangman and other word games to help them practice. Talking to them about their… read more

From the first day I saw Chris at work, it was clear that he knew how to work on a farm. He had a real “get involved” attitude and really wanted to get things done. Over the two weeks that he was here, he helped to lay the new building foundation, put up the walls, construct storm protection for a section of the garden and build a new fireplace.… read more

Everything about this workaway was great for me. The work, the jam, the animals, the other workawayers, the environment. I loved it. I really hope Ken achieves all he aims for with the project. Ken, I'll be sure to be in touch after some time on the farm in Argentina, I arrive tomorrow! It was great to learn all sorts of things from you and keep… read more

Chris was a positive energy for organizing and getting work done. He was always out working to complete a project, even on his days off. He and I got into some heated debates on a few topics, but it's all good. Differing views on all things are good to have. Let me know how/if the owner of the farm in Argentina affects your views on things. I… read more

Chris stayed with us for a few weeks this summer. A smart, witty hard worker who is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
We highly recommend him.
Thank you for all your help,
We hope to see you again soon.

I have literally never eaten as well as I did with Martin and Alex. It was full on deliciousness for my entire stay. The work was never too difficult and while I normally prefer a routine, the relaxed attitude around the place totally fits the surroundings and I felt really calm while staying here. We went on a few outings to Rome, the nearby… read more

I was here for three weeks and it was a really worthwhile experience for me. The kids are great and I got along well with the other people working there. Rosemary is actually a saint and she gives so much to the school and volunteers.

Thank you very much Christopher! I will try to say in english how we appreciate you. You are a very charming boy with a lot of humour, always good mood, a very positive energy in the house. You have done a lot of work and even if the wall is not finished what you have done was a lot of hard and well-done work. We also appreciate the way you played… read more

This was literally the best five weeks it could have possibly been. Idyllic surroundings, Sylvie and Phillipe were perfect hosts, helping with the language etc. The work was fun and rewarding, though I'm sad that we didn't get the wall finished. I already miss playing with Martin, Petit-Monsieur and Tobi. If I'm looking for something in the area… read more
