The Experience

We need help in our gorgeous property, in the garden, where I'm trying to run a Permaculture Project whilst working part time remotely and raising a toddler and a teenager 🫠 there's space to park up if you have a motorhome or camp up (we can provide the tent). We have a swimming pool, tennis court and chicken and ducks to care for. I also plant our own food 😊

We volunteered with Gaby for 25 days and had the most wonderful experience. Gaby and her family were incredibly warm, hospitable and insightful people and we learnt so much during our stay. They made our experience feel so homey and comfortable.
The work was exactly what we expected and the hours are always respected. The lunches are also super delicious and we loved trying new things and learning about vegetarian alternatives.
It felt like the perfect balance of independence and being involved in other enjoyable experiences outside of volunteering hours. We could not recommend it enough!

We stayed in Dolores for 10 days and we loved the experience! the work were mostly easy tasks such as feeding animals, cutting grass, preparing ground for planting, cleaning area etc... Gaby and Oli are very openminded people and you can have long conversations about anything with them! They were trying to make our time there as good as possible and i think that they did great job! we learned a lot about plants and organic culture so it was 100% worth it! the only thing that was a bit challenging was so many spiders, mosquitos etc, so if you are scared of it (like i am) be prepared hahah. 😌

My experience at the home was truly unforgettable. Gabi and Oli are incredibly kind, open-minded, and genuine people who made me feel at home from the very beginning. They have so much to share, and I learned a lot during my stay. And of course, I can't forget little Mateo—such a sweet and cheerful boy who will always manage to put a smile on your face. I stayed with them for a month, and the time flew by. I'm so grateful for everything we shared together, and I will always cherish the memories I made there. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a meaningful Workaway
