Workaway is what brought me to El Hierro, Canary Islands in September 2016, after leaving my teaching job with what was probably a burnout.

I only spent three weeks work away-ing ( taught English and German to the 12 and 14 year old daughters of a Canarian family. I lived in a tiny apartment next to their house and had to pay for and cook my own food. Because the teaching was only a couple hours in the mid to late afternoon, Monday to Friday, I had plenty of time left to get to know the island and hiked for hours most days.

On that island I started working on what came to be my never finished Spanish feature film 'Los Ojos Rojos'. It was a pretty magical experience most of the time and when I returned to my home country over half a year later, I was a different person.

Awesome post my friend! I would definitely recommend Workaway :>)
