Description
Hello, I'm Dan. I am a "jack of many trades." I enjoy working my my hands as much as my head and I really excel with complicated tasks. I can assist with all manner of mechanical, electrical, construction, and agricultural tasks. I have also been putting some energy into developing some of my softer skills and have become more of an empathetic listener. I am excited to see more of the world and get to know more of the people.
And I'm Laura! I'm passionate about protecting the environment, learning by doing, and building community. I have experience working on small farms and various construction projects and would love to get my hands dirty. I'm a yoga teacher, people person, and am always down for an adventure. I'm looking to broaden my understanding of cultures though immersion and exchange.
We are traveling both together and separately (depending on the season) and are hoping to experience the world through the local lens. We love to have fun, dance, and tell silly jokes.
Looking forward to staying with you and telling you more.

What an incredible couple of months in Pellumbas! Sitting at the top of a dirt road and tucked away in the mountains is Albania's best kept secret. Upon arriving to the guesthouse, I immediately felt at home. Wonder & Angelu's review below provided a great description of the tasks and schedule for volunteers. Overall the work was very laid back,… read more

Madhu and Sampada are a treasure for those wanting to learn a lot about sustainable farming. The large farm they are developing is very much in harmony with the local ecosystem and village community. It was a pleasure to join them for about 3 weeks. The work could be challenging (but rewarding) at times and gave you a real understanding of… read more

We had an incredible two weeks in Bajot with Lazslo. He has created a little piece of community that we instantly felt welcomed in. The amount of love and creativity he has put into his property is inspiring and we are lucky to have been a small part of it.

I had a lovely time staying at Sydney's surf and yoga hostel. It was the rainy season (Aug) while I was there so we did not get many guests, but this mad my time there very peaceful, almost like a meditation retreat. The yoga space was a joy to practice in. My main task was to clear weeds and start a garden which I really enjoyed. The hostel is on… read more

My stay with Riffaz and his family was a lot of fun and a nice dive into their culture. The daily chores were very manageable (some light cleaning and putting toys away) and even enjoyable - working in the garden and sometimes helping with cooking. All of the food we ate was extremely delicious and we were always encouraged to finish it off! So… read more

Dan is an all-in-one guy. He helped us with everything from tidying the house to creating YouTube videos and fixing a solar-powered light. He is strong and capable, handling heavy tasks with ease. We were impressed by his versatile skills.
It was a pleasure to host him. He’s welcome to visit again anytime.

Volunteering here is a truly fulfilling experience for anyone that loves animals. The work carried out by the foundation is really amazing in how much they do to aid animals that really need help. I felt a sense of connection with each dog as I cleaned their spaces in the morning and I enjoyed getting to know their personalities during play time.… read more

We even got… read more
