Description
We are a couple currently travelling around Europe in our campervan, with our wonderful little old lady dog Maisie!

We have left our UK city home behind are at the beginning of a journey learning more about permaculture, eco building and generally more sustainable living. We are starting from scratch so looking to help out in any way possible and get our hands dirty! We are truly open to any new experiences and helping in any way needed.

We are both really sociable, friendly and respectful people, who would love to get to know the people we are staying with - but equally are very respectful of boundaries and more than happy to look after ourselves. We both love cooking, hiking, all animals.

We both do a small amount of freelance work in non-profit sectors at the moment - but Kirsty is also a yoga instructor and looking to spend more time teaching yoga. Joe has experience working with children doing swimming & skateboard coaching.

Maisie (our dog) is a snoozey old lady who loves all people and children. She is low maintenance, thrives on spending long days cuddled in bed and can be left to her own devices while we work.

Joe and Kirsty were amazing volunteers, and it was an absolute joy to have them with us! They were motivated, hardworking, and brought so much positive energy to our project. From the moment they arrived, they showed great enthusiasm and dedication, and their friendly, approachable nature made them an instant hit with everyone here.

We had an awesome week at this community project. The land is truly beautiful and waking up to sunrises over the valley every day was a pleasure.

Everyone living here is lovely and easy to talk to - we loved their set up and how open they were, but also how easy it was to have our own space. They have a great space for campervans.

Joe and Kirsty are the most lovely couple. It was a shame for them that their campervan broke down but I am glad it happened near us and that they came to stay. We were sad when they left! I secretly hoped that the part for the van would take a month to arrive. They are such polite, kind, interesting, generous, intelligent and fun people. They… read more

Beth and her kids are incredibly kind and generous people. They took us in when our campervan broke down in the area, even though they did not need another workawayer. We lived them for 5 days while we waited for our repair and we are so glad we had the opportunity to meet this amazing family! They made us feel so at home and provided us with… read more

Firstly, apologies for the lateness of my review! I spent 3 weeks in this paradise with Axel and the other volunteers back in March, before the pandemic sent me home prematurely.

I was so gutted to leave this incredible place - the surrounding area is beautiful and welcoming and the surfing is excellent. This is a super welcoming environment and… read more
