Description
After some time at home studying music and releasing an album I think it's the right time to travel and put myself into some new environments.
Before I started at university I travelled to Europe and did a Workaway in Spain, in the Pyrenees mountains. I've always wanted to do more as it was one of the best experiences of my life and now I have that chance.

I take a strong interest in the different ways people live their day to day lives. Eager to learn about this I am ready to dive head first into whatever Workaway hosts have to offer.

A little about me...
I am 24 year old male from Melbourne, Australia. I'm a musician/producer and also work within the event operations industry (building stages and setting up entertainment precincts ready for international artists/speakers to perform and speak at). I am used to overcoming challenges presented to me and am always trying to better myself, learn from others and work amongst new friends/family.

Thank you Jaiman! It was a pleasure to have you for all three months you stayed, you were really became part of the furniture here.
You were our musician in residence. Always playing to us and to an audience, and to guests and giving lessons to the other volunteers. There was always a soundtrack of ambient guitar music which felt welcoming and… read more

So this place ended up being my home for far longer than I thought. I was on a 6 month trip across Europe from Australia, thought this would be one little stop for 3 weeks but I ended up staying for 3 months. I think I said I was leaving every 2 weeks but I struggled to go so I extended every time.

I loved the whole essence of this place. Being… read more cut off by a beautiful river (that you can have lots of fun in on some hot days, bring a blowup mattress to surf the current) and basically having a small kingdom to yourself. The nature and subtle remoteness here was really stunning and made me feel very at home. Yet if you still want to be connected to the outside world there is power and very good internet connection. And though being apart of a large community of volunteers is beautiful if you need some space theres lots of little corners you can make your own.

I was apart of a lot of different tasks and projects at this place. There was always something different to do. We hosted a trance festival and a traditional balkan folk concert up in the castle of which I got to play my own music. We facilitated a documentary film and had great fun hoisting up lots of equipment up the hill to the castle. Once you step off the raft you are left with wheelbarrows and whatever your arms can carry, you will get stronger and push yourself to get the job done, Milos champions those that give it a go and work as part of a team. Aside from the events and projects, the main hub is constantly changing and Milos is open to creative and logistical ideas from anyone. You will cook on a beautiful oven and learn how to make something out of a concentrated list of ingredients for a lot of people which I found liberating. Some of the best food I have ever eaten was here and everyone takes turns to cook and some even learn that have never done so before.

I could go on forever and ever. It was an amazing experience and everything you do feels like it's in service of an authentic project. Whether gardening, greeting guests, cooking food or collecting wood. It's all in service of this place, the people that visit the castle, the waterfall, the hike (very difficult hike but worth every bit) and for each other to create the best experience anyone could ever want.

The people you meet from everywhere. Some stay for 2 weeks, some joined me in a lengthy 3 month stay. You make a family every time. Some of the greatest people I will ever meet all on their own unique paths come through here. You live, work and laugh together.

You won't be sorry to those wondering whether to go or not.

Thank you so much Milos and Hannah and everyone else I got to be amongst!

I spent 19 days at Moli de Gósol refugi but it felt like a lifetime in paradise. Roger is exceptionally funny, easy going and won’t force you through any blood, sweat or tears. The area alone, mountain drenched landscapes for miles, is beautiful but pair that with Roger, his cooking, his home, local events/entertainment, other workaway friendships… read more
