Hey!
I'm Aidan, 25, lover of bees and trees and good tunes. Thanks for checkin out my profile.
I grew up moving around the world every couple of years, and have called the Snoqualmie River valley in Washington state home since 2018. I'm passionate about the outdoors, music, travel, and working with kids. I have almost 15 years of experience as a private guitar and piano instructor, and 5 years of experience working with kids in an outdoor capacity, where I lead games, survival skills lessons, bird language sessions, etc. I also have spent 2 years teaching at a creative writing school.
I'm interested in diving into more permaculture projects as I travel to Central/South America. I have a permaculture design certificate but it's been a little while since I've used that knowledge in the field. I'd love to be involved with projects revolving around reforestation, farming, natural building, etc. Also very interested in positions working with kids in an outdoor setting.

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I'm a certified permaculture designer (lots to learn still), and a graduate of the Anake Outdoor School, as well as the Anake Leadership Program (now known as the Nature Instructor Training Program). Being in the wilderness is not new to me, and I may be able to share knowledge of primitive skills and nature connection routines. I recently got recertified in wilderness first aid, and, like I mentioned in my bio, have experience working with kids as an outdoor instructor. I can also teach pranayama (breathwork) routines for some deep soul-searching. I'm a musician, and love teaching what I know in that world too. I enjoy outdoor labor, and am eager to learn more about farming, gardening, building, local/indigenous cultures, and anything else related!

Vom Workawayer (Aidan) für Host (Biological station and ...)

Man, this place was a dream. I came to Nicaragua in October last year, intending to travel around to other countries in Latin America. After coming here, I fell in love and ended up spending almost 8 months in Nicaragua, mostly at this biological station. The work was varied- I helped out on the farm, designed and helped build a swale system for… read more

My time with this host was wonderful. It was really a gift to see what's happening here through the passionate labors of such an empowered and wholesome community. To hear some of the fine folks here talk about ongoing projects they may never see or taste the fruits of, and to know that future generations of humans and nonhumans may benefit from… read more

Vom Workawayer (Aidan) für Host (Almost zerowaste countryside ...)

Wonderful time here. Spent just over a week here, mostly painting furniture. It was a lovely countryside retreat way off the general tourist path, which offered plenty of opportunities to practice thai and experience an authentic side of thailand. Tan is a great host, fun, and the food here is amazing.

Ovick is the man! I stayed here once for a week, then again for half a week. It was an incredible experience! Helping out at the school was always fun and rewarding, and I made so many fantastic friends. Ovick is a really loving guy, and I felt so welcome during my stay. Cannot recommend enough!

I spent just over a week here and had a really spectacular time. There were 13 volunteers here at one point, and i made some amazing friends.

I stayed here for a little under two weeks, and had the most amazing experience! First and foremost, there's two hostels that Willi owns. One of them is always packed, which made meeting people and being social extremely easy. The other hostel is generally more laid back, which made relaxing and resting extremely easy! I made several fantastic… read more

It has been a pleasure to accommodate Aidan and Hanna here at the Ranch, their outgoing personality and happiness has been an enrichment for all of us here, and their willingness to work with us even the not so pleasant jobs like shuffling snow have been done with an remarkable effort and the two are already being missed here...
We can recommend… read more

My friend and I stayed here for just over three weeks, and truly had an unforgettable experience. We never worked more than 25 hours a week, and the jobs were always very educational with Mike teaching lots about horse care as we worked. Chores included feeding, grooming, cleaning up after, and exercising the horses; raking leaves; shoveling snow;… read more

My friend and I could only stay here for one week, as we had to leave early to snatch a last-minute price reduction on a ticket to Scotland. However, the one week we spent here was great! The animals are beautiful and friendly, and Lily the sheep is particularly fun :) Anke and Andrea were very hardworking and did their best to make us feel at… read more

vom Host für Workawayer (Aidan)

Young Aidan and his fabulous friend Hanna are wonderful kids, and we had a really smashingly good time hosting them! They were part of one of our more efficient, and certainly most fun teams to date, working mostly with Rémi on an independent project straightening out rafters before we put on a new roof. This involved work on high ladders and… read more scaffolding, using power tools such as a drill, angle grinder, and circle saw as well as hammers, crow bars and bolt cutters. Hanna took to the angle grinder like a fish to water, cutting lengths of threaded rod while Rémi and Aidan used them to create joints between longer rafters. They made an excellent team!

Aidan and Hanna are exceptionally good friends who know each other through and through, and travel well together. They have grown up on US military bases, and are both born storytellers, so we got to hear hilarious stories about their past, giving a glimpse of a world I’ve only seen in movies. Among many other things, I now know what an A1C is… and feel there’s so much left to learn. I look forward to hearing more, the next time they come.

During their first week here, Aidan showed some masterful skills with the trimmer, working quickly and competently, clearing a huge area of long grass that hadn’t been cut since two years back. Hanna is very conscientious, she listens and learns and follows through well, doing a good job of everything she’s given. They work well together in this way, since Hanna takes responsibility for knowing what it is that needs to be done, and how, and Aidan works alongside her... also, they accurately measured the roofs of two buildings, and spent hours on their last day here calculating how best to use the aluminum sheets to optimize the covered surfaces with the sheets available. It was a huge job, they put in a great effort and they did it very well! For those who think you’ll never make use of high school mathematics again, at least these two people have.

They’re both very talented musically and visually, spontaneously improvising songs upon request, which made for very nice evenings all crowding together in the living room, singing along. I also personally challenge new hosts to top the experience of showing them their two new favorite movies, The Prince and Me and The Prince and Me 2. We certainly felt like hosting them and the helpers they were here with was a great time and that we were like a big, bustling, fun, loud, laughing family. I certainly recommend hosting Aidan and Hanna, and know they will learn and share skills, stories, laughs, and great camaraderie with their lucky hosts during their year of traveling. Have a wonderful trip, and auf Wiederhören, mi hijos.

My time here was truly unforgettable. I arrived in Uddevalla with my traveling companion, Hanna, several weeks ago. Katie picked us up, drove us to the Harbor, and made us feel at home from then on out. The work was exceedingly reasonable, and our safety and comfort were always prioritized over all else. During my stay, my work usually involved… read more

Aidan is a very kind and helpful guy with an excellent sense of adventure. He always showed up on time with a smile, ready to work. For being a young man, he has a lot of experience for someone of his age. He is not your typical 18 year old! I would recommend him for sure!

Amy and Erik were super kind, quickly making me and my friend feel at home, and never hesitating to answer any of our questions. Ryan provided plenty of comedic relief in addition to his help with… read more
