Unfortunately, I wasn't able to travel due the farm family health issue, but Stephen was so kind all the time, our communication was clear, I told him it wouldn't be possible for me to travel at that time, and he was very comprehensive and told me it was ok to take care of family members when needed. I am very thankful with him, and I really hope to have the opportunity to get this experience with Stephen and his family in Dordogne, soon! 💖

We (Tomás and I) stay for three weeks with Stefan where we had a great time together. The work is ideal if you like the Farm and the nature. Stefan was always worried for our comfortability. He offered us plenty of activities for our free time and take us to many tourists spots of the region. It was an amazing first experience. We hope to visit him again in the near future!

As a first experience, I must say that it was outstanding in all aspects. Stefan received us from the first minute in the best way and he always cared that we were comfortable and we did not lack anything. The work was tiring but very useful, enjoying nature 110%. On rest days, Stefan acted as a tour guide and accompanied us to see nearby places that were incredible, even a little trip the farm plane! Pedro Colombres, my partner on this trip and I are very happy and grateful to have had this experience, more than recommended.

It was a very valid experience, from the host (STEFAN), who in turn was always willing, the tasks have many, but nothing that will devalue the content of learning and living together. the coexistence is very good, based on the cultural content that in turn makes us better acquainted each day, the working hours are from 8 to 15, but ask for having the entry time but not the departure time ... it is only a detail when in turn in the final context, we have a rewarding experience.
