Description
Hello!

My name is Gabe and I come from the Yorkshire Dales in England.

I came to this site in search of adventure and with a thirst for travel, people and cultural exchange. I have been doing Workaways since the start of 2025 now and have gain a wealth of great experience, learnt many things and have met so many wonderful, warm and generous people across the world.

I had spent 10 years working in offices as a Web Developer before but always wanted to take the leap into doing something like this and it was the best decision I made!

So far I have:

- Looked after rescue animals - horses, donkeys, monkeys and dogs

- Worked on a farm

- Looked after children

- Helped manage a conservation project

- Worked at a cafe on a Hebridean island - baking cakes, makings soups and serving customers

- DIY, property management, painting and decorating

Hannah and Gabe came to stay with my husband and myself during October 2025. Both were extremely helpful and hard working during the time they were here. Gabe was very useful for Peter on occasions and was happy to go off and do stuff for Peter away from the rest of the crew that were staying here at the same time. Hannah was extremely good at… read more

Gabe made a fantastic contribution to sanctuary life and has been a great support in helping us look after the monkeys in our care. He was a quick learner and keen to get stuck into all the tasks we needed help with. Gabe was hard working and also a great person to have around. We were delighted when Gabe asked to stay an extra week! Thank you,… read more

The work its self rotated on a 2 day basis. One day… read more

I had a wonderful time working with Illia, Paddy, Maria and Ronan.

To start with we were given a very generously sized apartment in a rural area near Wicklow town. The apartment had a kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and large windows overlooking fields and woodland. We were also given a good budget to do our own food shopping.
