Description
Through the course of my life, I have had the privilege to live in 4 different continents and traveled across 80 different countries while continuously learning about the wonders of this world and its people. I currently run my own business consulting for tech companies in the space of experiment designs.

In my free time, I enjoy learning across from diverse topics in interdisciplinary fields in history, geopolitics, behavioral economics, dynamic systems, and neuroscience. I have been fortunate enough in my lifetime to have met with folks who have various perspectives on these through my travels as well as my time as a host.

Hopefully if this platform continues to exist well into my old age (it's been around for over a decade), I would like to continue using this as a way of volunteering as well as hosting volunteers in the future.

Left by host (Help organize yoga and other ...) for Workawayer ()

During his stay in glamping, he showed himself to be a very sociable, kind, and non-conflict person. He responded quickly to any requests and was always ready to help. He quickly learned the rules of glamping. Clarence asked the employees if he could help. He quickly joined the team and became part of the team. It was very pleasant to interact… read more

I couldn't have asked for a better host than Jonas and his incredible team, including the dynamic duo Kiril and Julia, along with the wonderful local staff, especially Gulnazi, who went above and beyond to make my stay as pleasant as possible. From the moment I stepped foot onto the campsite, I felt an immediate welcome from the staff and fellow… read more

Clarence recently participated in this English language immersion programme, completing more than 100 hours of hands-on, practical teaching experience. It can be a difficult and - at times - challenging role, and Clarence approached it with great enthusiasm, energy and determination. It is critical that our volunteers have a positive attitude… read more

Generally, I get really wary when I see a Workaway listing that sounds a little too good to be true having had some bad experiences previously. However, I felt a lot more settled after reading about various opinions about it from the feedback here and blogs about this program.

Not only do you get an all expenses paid at a hotel in the beautiful… read more

I have volunteered with various workaway hosts from across 4 different different continents and I have to say, this one was the best I have ever done! I have been skeptical of most hosts in the past due to the fact that their profiles often over-promised and was far from the reality of the situation in the place.

Sarah, the manager is the best… read more

Clarence is a highly capable and intelligent young man with a wealth of skills in media. Whilst, I wasn't fully prepared to host him, he worked away on a task and with little input from me and I was very happy with his efforts.

It was a great experience with Wendy!

I spent about 6 weeks here helping with Wendy over a variety of tasks, from organizing and archiving her files, to working on her website. She was really kind and open to all kinds of input and always checked to make sure I was ok and if I had enough to eat.

I also got to meet her flat mate Gerard and… read more

Clarence was the easiest workawayer to have in the B&B, because he would sit from morning to night in his arnchair writing a book. When I had questions about computer I would ask him and for me it was enough. But he offered to take some pretty photos and make videos of my two listings, which he did brilliantly and I thank him very much for that!… read more

This was my first experience working at the farm. I was glad to be hosted by David who was always cheerful and positive and learnt a lot from him and Nathan. The work can get tough on certain days but generally you rotate around with different chores each day. You are definitely well-fed here with more than enough to eat!
