Beschreibung
Hello again Workaway hosts and Workawayers, I'm David Nathan and describe myself as a self-employed eco-adventurer spiritual hippie-type; I practice yoga and meditation every morning, something I have learnt to appreciate in the last 6 months! Although originally from England, I've been a bit of a nomad most this life and regard myself as a world citizen; and for the last four years since quitting work, I have become a self-employed adventurer with just a backpack, living a simpler life, not only from the environmental point of view but also from a personal/spiritual standpoint. So I have been traveling around to learn about alternative ways for sustainable living, permaculture, eco projects and to make a re-connection with nature and myself! Now however I am also wishing to find myself a base somewhere! I am actually a ‘temporary resident’ of Spain since 2016, although don’t spend all my time there! I am interested in co-housing or community living as well as individual homestead ideas...off-grid, self-sufficiency, no waste living being a preference.

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I have some experience gardening in general, picking fruit and have driven tractors, etc. I'm pretty useful with a hammer, an axe or hand saw; have repointed stonework/brickwork using natural mortar/ building techniques! I love working with wood but want to learn more. I have a passion for eco-friendly and permaculture projects, off-grid self-sustainable living! I would like to build my own wooden, earthen/cob tiny house!
I love all animals and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, hens, sheep, goats, donkeys and horses, pigs and a cute ferret!

Was noch ...
I love to travel and hike/walk and read interesting and spiritual books and have moved around a lot in my life. In recent years...in october 2010, I spent 2 weeks in Kenya teaching english at a school in the Masai Mara. I've also volunteered through Workaway in Devon, UK in 2013.
Since Aug 2016 volunteering in Spain & Portugal. In 2014, I participated with the Findhorn Foundation Eco-community:
Experience Week
Exploring Community Life
Iona Summer Retreat
In 2015 after hiking on Dominica and Martinique in the Caribbean, I decided to leave work and find ways to live a simpler life!
In 2016 I walked from Switzerland to Spain on the St James Way (Camino de Santiago-French Way) and have walked other ways since, (Camino Finisterre, Camino Ingles, Camino Primitivo, Via de la Plata); now free to travel around learning about eco/alternative living! In 2017 I spent 3 months volunteering for an aid organization helping refugees in Greece. Then 2018/19 resting for 9 months in Asturias over winter during which time I worked for a permaculture garden and eco project.
During summer 2019, I volunteered at some music festivals through My Cause UK and attended Lovejam. I love music, especially folky melodic and ancient sounds... ☺️Looking forward to meet and interact with the wider Workaway community! Wanting to ride a bike on another long Camino soon...!? 😌🙏🌈🥰👣

It was a great pleasure to host David.
He helped me look after my horse, care for the dog, keep the car, house and garden tidy.
He worked meticulously and I always knew I could leave everything in safe hands.
My neighbours and liveries here on the farm enjoyed talking to him and he was just lovely to have around: kind, caring, honest, tactful,… read more

First and foremost a big apology for my tardiness in leaving feedback for Jood, her beautiful horses & ponies and Willow, beautiful dog!

I proactively contacted David last year, based on his excellent profile and great references. Although he wasn’t heading my way at the time, we kept in touch and he contacted me when he was going my direction.
It was great to finally meet him and I certainly wasn’t disappointed - his excellent references are well deserved. David is not only very… read more
