Cleaning, weeding, and general maintenance are just a few of the skills he’s done. Safe travels, don’t hesitate to come back.

This couple is great! Wish they would stay longer. They take initiative, are respectful and responsible. You can’t ask for better. Cleaning, painting , gardening, general maintenance. They are open to do what ever you asked, and did the work efficiently and well.
I wish them great travels, safe travels, and they're welcomed back anytime.:grinning:

We had a really good time at Steve's and Anna's together with the other volunteers that were there with us. Their place is absolutely beautiful and the view from the fully equiped outdoor kitchen that you get to use will just take your breath away. They only ask you to work 3-4 hours a day and the tasks are not hard. Plus, you can mostly manage… read more

For a first workaway, it set the bar very high! The propriety is amazing. Anna & Steve are amazing people, generous and kind. It was a pleasure to meet them and it would be a pleasure to come back!

This is a very-very late feedback, that we are writing now because it somehow got forgotten and we have just realized that we never remembered to write it.

We really enjoyed our time with Anne, Steve and Mike. They are wonderful and nice people so we felt in Puerto Cayo as at home. We loved their house and especially an awesome open air kitchen where we spent most of our time. Work is easy and clear but there is not much to do in Puerto Cayo so it's a good place for someone who needs some time alone.
