I went before you!
"I would definitely recommend it to people, I have already nudged my friends and will be heading that way next year with an even bigger group of friends. Found it wonderfully peaceful and with that no worries from the outside world. So like I said, I will definitely do this more often!"

Picking grapes in France
"It is a hardworking job where you are physically challenged. But you do have the sun on your head while working where the temperature can rise above 20⁰."

Picking olives in Spain
"I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the work. From the beginning, I loved being in the vineyard. I am not sporty at all, but I enjoy the physical work. I love the sound of the rustling bushes and the French murmur in the vineyard."
