Description
Hey, I'm Arlo! I grew up on my parents woodland croft in Argyll. I really enjoy cycling, walking and camping as well as generally being outdoors, especially around trees. The reason I'm doing some workaways is to get some life experience from different people and places as well as learning some new skills to bring back to use on our family croft while also sharing the skills I have with others.

More details about your skills
From working on our croft and other smallholdings/farms I've gathered skills such as milling, fencing, tree planting and care as well as looking after animals. Over spring I completed my pdc and I'm pretty familiar with some permaculture principles as my parents both use them in managing our croft. Recently I've got my LANTRA crosscutting chainsaw ticket which I'm keen to put to use! I've also done some building and know my way around basic power tools. I'm also quite creative and a good problem solver. If you need a cup of coffee then your in luck cause I've been trained with the Argyll coffee roasters on all things coffee!

Arlo has been of fantastic help for the project! He's a hard worker and he kept his enthousiasm and good spirit all the way through his stay, even when the weather was suprisingly challenging for the time of the year! As a good Scot, he didn't let himself be stopped by (a lot) of rain and wind :D
We had such a lovely time with him here and… read more

I had such a great time staying with Wim, Anaïs and Marc. Even when the weather was a bit wet we still had fun. They are amazing people and I highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. Aside from the work which was never too straining, there was great food and conversations around the fire:)
