Description
**We are both fully vaccinated and happy to do tests before arrival**
Hiya,
We are Jo and John, a couple from the UK, both 30 years old.
We have decided to take a year out of our usual work routine to have an adventure, learning about sustainable living, nature, and other cultures.
Jo is a trainee organic farmer with a keen interest in foraging, permaculture, seed saving, circular systems, agroecology, and regenerative practices. She has hopes of developing her own farm one day. She has over 3 years of organic farming experience in paid and unpaid roles.
John is a civil servant in nature conservation and planning policy, with an interest in restoring habitats, woodland management, and sustainable building. He is a whittler of spoons, plays music, enjoys outdoor sports, and recently became a Charted Day Skipper Sailor. He has previously worked in Hong Kong as an English teacher and is now trying to learn new languages. Cooking for others and sharing recipes is a passion of John’s.
We will be in Greece and France between May-July 2023, and in Australia from September 2023 – April 2024. We are looking for a place where we can help contribute, learn, and enjoy.
Our ideal place would include:
– Somewhere social with communal spaces to connect
– Somewhere with a private room we can re-energise in
– Somewhere we can be creative, helping with cooking and any creative projects
– A supported and empowered space to learn and collaborate with our hosts and other volunteers
What we can offer?
- Jo's a social media and graphic design whizz and can help promote, share, and give advice where needed
- John is a keen photographer and is keen to capture and share moments
- We are both fit, healthy, and hard workers who will get stuck in diverse tasks
- We can cook well and love sharing recipes
- John is trained in basic construction and home DIY
- Jo has a wealth of practical knowledge about growing veg and caring for the land
If we sound like your kind of guests please do message us and let us know about your opportunities!
We look forward to hearing from you.

We arranged the Workaway super spontaneously and it worked out beautifully. They came ready and equipped (literally!- they even had their own gloves!) to help.
I felt so lucky and supported by them as I had a massive project ahead of me and mariusz was not… read more
