Recommendation for a Canary Islands Workaway, anyone? - in winter
Hi everyone!
I’m currently thinking about doing a Workaway somewhere on the Canary Islands for this coming November & December and was wondering if anyone here has done one there around that time and could recommend a host🙈.
I’m currently on my second Workaway back to back and in both cases I ended up being the only volunteer which is fine but it does get a little lonely form time to time (especially at remote locations) so next time I’d be looking for a place with several volunteers staying at the same time (I know this might be a bit difficult to predict, but maybe you can just tell from your experience).
I’d really love a place where the host actually enjoys hosting & where it doesn’t feel they are just happy to take the free labor and have a communication on eyesight without an imperious tone 😬. I’m interested in projects with animals, sustainability, community or anything that feels like it has meaningful impact. Not so much childcare or doing household maintenance. I’m definitely happy to work and get involved properly, but I’ve also realized that very physically demanding work for 5+ hours a day is probably not the best fit for me.
I’m pretty open when it comes to which Canary Island. My main reason for looking there is the winter weather, like somewhere warm, around 20°C or above during November/December.☀️
So if anyone has personal experience with a place that ticks some of these boxes, I’d be really grateful for any recommendation 🫶 also can dm me! :)
