Travelling
Description
I'm Billy, an enthusiastic health care assistant from England.
I've been travelling for over 4 years now and worked in many different jobs during this time. I have volunteered at workaways in Mexico, Portugal, Belgium, Denmark, and Spain. 3 of these were pet/housesitting whilst the owners were away on holiday, the others were anything from gardening, painting and general maintenance to elderly care and construction.
I am currently volunteering at a Spanish school in Mexico where I’ve been for over a year. My tasks here have included painting, building furniture, gardening, promotions, social media, basically a bit of everything.
I travel without a fixed plan and I’m open to almost all jobs. I intend to use workaway whenever possible and help out with projects all around the world!
I'm a big football fan and love to play whenever possible (it’s not as often as I’d like when travelling) I’m also very interested in health and fitness (it’s what I trained in) and try to work out most days to keep fit.
Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
I'm interested in:
Charity Work
Some knowledge of:
Gardening
DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Life at a Farmstay
Eco Projects
Helping around the house

Able to teach about:

Language practice

More details about your skills
The last 4 years I spent in the uk (2013-2016 and a few months of 2018) I have been working in healthcare. I am an end of life / palliative carer specifying in overnight sits with patients within their own home.
I completed college with a diploma in sports coaching, development & fitness but have since gained other skills that have been more relevant. I have had a number of jobs in the last few years whilst travelling that has had nothing to do with my previous experience such as hospitality, construction, and even cotton farming! Always happy to try new things and learn new skills.

I’m not fluent by any means in Spanish but I can speak enough to get by. Always happy to learn more!

I spent around 6 weeks here with my girlfriend. Trixie was kind enough to meet us at the train station and bring us back ‘home’. We were encouraged to make ourselves at home and to feel as comfortable as possible. The house itself is amazing, beautiful scenery wherever you look and great tracks to explore with the dogs. We were introduced to many… read more

Billy and his girlfriend were looking after my house and animals while I was away for 10 days. Billy is a very friendly person with a good humor :D, and many interesting traveling experiences to share. Billy and Lian took nice videos and fotos of my animals while I was away, so I could see that they were having a good time, which was really nice.… read more

We had the pleasure of looking after Soleahs beautiful home and pets whilst she went on holiday. We only spent a few days together either side of their holiday but we can’t thank her enough for the hospitality shown. We had a double room, lots of food, bikes to ride, musical instruments, pets to play with and a beach 50 meters away... what more… read more

Obrigado!

Miguel & Silvija are wonderful people! My experience with this workaway is slightly different to others, as I was house sitting rather than the conventional duties. I did leave slightly earlier than expected due to family problems and both Miguel & Silvija were very very kind about the whole situation, couldn’t thank them enough. The… read more

Billy came to us on “last minute” after a “no show” and, together with his partner Lian, made a huge contribution to the final stages of the pizza oven project and some important land clearance in his 18 day stay. Billy is a strong, intelligent young man with the most mischievous sense of humour! He proved to be an invaluable and fun sidekick for… read more

Thanks Bob & Annette! We spent 18 days at your place and had the opportunity to try many new skills and experience a different way of life. We were lucky enough help and see progress with some of the projects during our time there. It was nice to see the pizza oven develop and near completion, hopefully that shouldn't be too long!
