The Experience

My husband Vasilis is trying to paint some parts of our house. He needs some help to do some repairs on it. If you have experience or an apprenticeship in constructing walls, ceilings, floors, laminate, as a plumber or in electronics you are more than welcome to help us. Unexperienced workawayers can help with: - painting walls inside and outside of the house - repairing old furniture (sometimes)

Staying with Irini was one of those experiences that feels less like volunteering and more like being part of something meaningful. From the first moment, I felt at home. Living and working with Irini felt like sharing a home with family. She welcomed me with open arms (and an amazing sunset), involved me in her daily life, and created a safe and inspiring environment where I could be myself and contribute with purpose. The work was diverse and Sara is the cutest dog ever. the home is amazing and I walked around enjoying the city, the beach and the incredible views. I recommend a lot.
