Description
I’m a practical, easy-going person who’s happiest when I’m learning something useful. I’m taking my first proper steps into carpentry and natural building, and I’m committed to making it a long-term craft, not just an interest.

I’ve built a good mix of skills through practical work — gardening, landscaping, and some furniture restoration. It’s given me a good feel for tools and a steady, hands-on approach to learning new things.

My last project was a four-month stint on an architectural strawbale house in Christchurch, NZ. I was involved in the late stages of the process — ceilings, floors, cladding, light framing, a bit of plastering, and helping with an earthen floor. It gave me a good foundation and confirmed that this is the kind of work I want to keep moving toward long-term.

In Australia I’m hoping to keep developing as a carpenter — both through building and by learning more fine joinery and cabinetry. I’m motivated, reliable, and keen to learn from people who are more skilled than I.

Outside of building, I’m into nature skills and traditional crafts. I’m curious about hunting, fishing, bushcraft, and i would love to learn horse riding. Anything that gets me outdoors, learning, and a bit more self-reliant always interests me.

I stayed for a week at Clare’s and it was wonderful. Clare is one of the sweetest, purest of heart people you’ll ever meet! She is so kind and genuine and you’re guaranteed to feel cared for with her.
Working on her property is fantastic it’s so beautiful from all her gardening, and her horses (which I got to care for!) are beautiful as well. The… read more

Adam stayed with me for a week and helped me with some great outdoor tasks while at mine. He was a real pleasure to have around, and worked conscientiously at all tasks I asked of him. It was great to have his energy and enthusiasm to help me with some of the work that required a bit more strength and fitness. He also made a good effort with… read more

My 2 week stay at Mikes was great! He’s undertaken a very big and meaningful project and it’s wonderful to be a part of that. Mike does a good job of showing you the bigger picture and explaining why you do the work you undertake while staying with him which is a nice change from the usual garden maintenance of other workaways, at Mikes you get to… read more

I have no hesitation in recommending Adam as a Workaway guest. From the outset, he maintained a great standard of communication, always cheerful and laughing and putting a good effort into my project. During his stay he was involved in planting native species, trimming young trees knocked by the wind and activities in the nursery. His good nature… read more

I stayed with Hannah and Will for about 2 weeks and it has been one of my best work away experiences yet. They are such a lovely family living a natural and off grid lifestyle and they really do make you feel like one of the family. Because of my experience I mostly helped with building and heavy lifting but I also helped with the kids sometimes… read more

Left by host (Help us with our small farm ...) for Workawayer ()

Adam stayed with us for two weeks and was easy going and great fun to have around. During his visit he helped with a small construction job, did some gardening and some renovation in the holiday home and we are very pleased with the results. He was happy to learn and did everything that was asked of him and worked hard. He was very flexible with… read more

Staying at Adam and Fran’s was absolutely fantastic, I couldn’t have asked for a better first Workaway experience. It really felt like staying with family, I felt so at home so fast. My main work was a building project with Adam which was a lot of fun but I also got to work with bees, process my own honey, make candles, do some gardening work and… read more
