More details about your skills
I'm a scout since i was 8 years old and i've been able to learn a lot about camping life, like building stuff with wood and rope, making fire, but also how to work in a group and to help each other.

I've a lot of experience with children: i spent 2 years like an educator for scout children from 8 to 12 years old; i worked one year with a group of children with down syndrome; i spent 1 year in a social farm in Netherland, taking care of kids with disabilities.

In 2020/2021 i volunteered 1 year in a social farm in the Netherlands (HamsterMieden is the name of the farm) and i've been able to learn a lot of things, mostly about farming and about social aspects.

I know how to drive a small tractor, how to make hay and how to cut wood using the chainsaw.

I also worked in a Farm in Ireland for 4 months, where i learned basically everything about self sufficiency: milking goats and cows, making cheese, grow vegetables, conservation of food for winter ecc.

I know how to prune fruit trees, in particular olive trees and i know how to take care of a vegetable garden.

I loved staying at John's place. He's got a big proprety and there is always something to do if you like to work a bit!
John is a nice guy who likes to make a lot of jokes, it is impossible to get bored around him. He will bring you into the bush with his old Land Cruiser if you're up to (best experience of my travels until now), without following… read more

I spent my first week in Tasmania with Ruth's family and i really had a good time there! I spent the whole week cleaning up the garden and replanting the raised beds,
tasks I enjoyed. The food was amazing and Ruth is a great cook. She cares a lot about workawayers to be happy and with a full belly!
One morning they took me wine tasting and it… read more

Simone is a keen gardener and organised, tidied and replanted my garden beds using his own initiative. We enjoyed his company and introduced him to Tasmanian wines at a wine tasting and lunch at Derwent Estate...but he still loves his Italian wines the best. It was a pleasure to meet and get to know Simone, we wish him the best of luck in his… read more

I had my best time in Tasmania at Pierce and Christine off-grid hostel! I spent two weeks with them and I always felt welcomed from their family and all the travelers there. I had the opportunity to use my own iniziative to plan and complete different tasks. Food was amazing and the dinners together were interesting and funny at the same time. I… read more

Simone is a hard worker, who loves farm animals, and is very handy in the garden. We're grateful for the two weeks he spent here, which included planting out a veggie garden and forging a new path through our bushland, among other things. He's tidy, quiet, friendly, well read, and knowledgable, and was a great help as a volunteer!
