Essential tips for becoming a “Workaway” host.

Our wonderful “workaway” volunteers reached the end of their 3 week stay with us and have moved on to their next host. Here is what we learned from the experience. We changed our profile after we had evaluated our experience and refined our needs and expectations. We hope our insights will help perspective hosts to avoid most of the mistakes that we made.

About us.
Hi, we are Lori & Mark and we bought our almond Finca (farm) in 2001 and planned to build a retreat with 5 log cabins. It was supposed to be our pension plan. When the law suddenly changed, we were left with most of our savings gone and a piece of land we couldn’t build on. After much research we discovered we could put up a temporary dwelling and we settled on a geodesic dome. We built it ourselves and moved into it in August of 2004. We’ve been living here ever since. We live at the end of a 2km dirt track, in the Sierra de las Nieves mountains, right on the edge of a huge national park. We have miles of tracks through the park and we use electric mountain bikes, powered by the sun, to explore them all. Our home has been through many changes as we struggled to cope with a massive economic downturn and extreme weather. We created new careers for ourselves and learned to live completely off-grid. Solar electricity, rainwater harvesting and composting toilets are our daily experiences. To help supplement our income we built a little house to rent out and run courses in.
Join us as we tell you about our lives and challenges.
Mark & Lori.
