Description
Hi there! We are Richelle and Patti, a quasi mother-daughter/adventure buddy duo.

Richelle grew up in rural Montana. USA. She has a Bachelor's in Sustainable Agriculture and is currently taking a sabbatical from her job as a seed analyst. She has basic knowledge of construction, painting and finish work. She's worked on several vegetable farms and a goat dairy in the US.
Patti grew up in Texas, USA but has lived in Hawaii for the past 8 years. She is an excellent cook, creative, fun and great with children. She loves learning from others and making connections with new people. She's worked as a nanny and substitute teacher while in Hawaii and has previously worked as a cook.

We love to travel and are eager to spend more time discovering this vast world. We enjoy meeting new people and learning about new cultures. We've realized that the people we've met during our brief travel experience have often had a big impact on our outlook on life. We're excited to connect with and help out new friends!

Richelle was such a knowledgeable person it was difficult to keep up at times. Her work as a seed analyst goes much further than the name would suggest to a massive knowledge of wild plants and grasses. It was very funny to see someone get so enthusiastic about a patch of grass, we went on walks where she would point out plats right under my nose… read more

I had the best time with John and Ana. I felt like part of the family in no time. They are so kind and welcoming, and not to mention, great cooks. Although John could use some help in the bread baking department if you ask his mother. They also made sure I was able to spend some time in the city, eat all the best pizza and gelato and meet their… read more

Thank you for your kind words.
Calvin and Richelle were very welcome visitors for both me and my dog who was just so pleased to have them around.
They were a very motivated pair, tidy, up early and into work each day and did a splendid job. Calvin handled the heavier tasks and power tools with aplomb. I'd rather trust him with a chainsaw than… read more

David was an excellent host. My brother and I spent only 3 days with him but we wish it could have been longer. He makes you feel right at home and is a great cook. He made sure to prepare things commonly eaten in New Zealand. We tried mussels for the first time as well. His home is very nice with an amazing view of the inlet. He was kind enough… read more

My brother and I were so blessed to have Fiona and Dean as our first workaway experience. They made us feel like part of the family and they are so easy to get along with and talk to. We got to meet Fiona's mother and children who were also lovely. They are very trusting and kind. Fiona is an excellent cook and made sure that we were well fed.… read more

Tim and Janel are hardworking and very easy going/flexible people. They were also very kind and welcoming. Janel provided lots of great meals. The work we did was mostly cleaning the hotel rooms/bar, dishes, laundry and some home renovations. Volunteers have access to a common lounge area/kitchenette with a variety DVDs to watch. It was also fun… read more

My brother and I really enjoyed our stay with Rosie and Simon. It's a shame we couldn't stay longer. They made us feel very comfortable in their home and Rosie is an amazing cook. We stayed in the cottages used for their adventure company and that was nice too. Their farm is kind of in the middle of nowhere but we liked the quiet and the small… read more
