Description

Hi I'm Darcy,

I spent 2024 in the Balkans volunteering and had a really great time. I came back home and now i want to head to South America for an extended period of time.

I'm from a remote part of Australia and love seeing and living in new places. After graduating with a business degree in 2018, I worked in a Government Admin role, since then I've worked at schools in Cambodia, Australia and New Zealand as a student support worker or boarding hostel staff and really enjoy it, but also enjoy anything new and different, especially in a new place. I have a minimalist and adventurous lifestyle that I'm keen to continue.

I had a great time sweating a heat wave in Broye with Helen. it's a lovely village, nice to casually explore. the house is simple but well furnished. Enjoying solitude and some hands on work is necessary, but provided you do I can't recommend this stay enough.

Thank you, Darcy, for spending these few days with us. Your help was fantastic; I was able to make real progress on my project. You are always eager to help, in good spirits, and both independent and meticulous in your work.
We enjoyed our conversations and hope you find the perfect place to pursue your aspirations.
And of course, if you come back … read more

Workaway cancelled the day before his supposed arrival, with me prompting him if he was still coming. I was counting on him coming since I had some projects with a deadline, so he left me in a bit of a pickle.

This is a wonderful place to disappear into. The accom they house you in is really nice, the lunches your treated to on the days you work are incredible and very filling. The kitchen you have access to is really well stocked.

The work can sometimes be the typical work of a hostel, but also a much wider range of possible tasks can appear. and I … read more

It was wonderful to host Darcy. He worked so hard and we appreciate his can-do attitude and cheeful attitude. He dug holes for dozens of trees and we will be celebrating him and remeber her when they start to grown and blossom.

I had a fantastic time here in Guamal with Ricardo and his family. Luisa is a great point of contact and the family is very very welcoming. It's small town life but still with all the amenities you could need. Nice walks, nice swimming. A private volunteer area with kitchen and all the bits and bobs you could need. Abuela and Ricardo always … read more

Darcy is a charming, kind, and very helpful young man who easily becomes a member of your family. In addition to being an excellent host, he is also an exceptional teacher — dedicated, patient, and truly passionate about his work. He always shows a positive attitude, is willing to help at all times, and adapts easily to any situation.

What a true joy it was hosting Darcy and his friend Katya. The two of them came to us as a surprise, after their arrangements had proven to be less than desirable. Around the same time, the workawayer we had planned had no showed. It truly felt like the stars aligned to bring us these two wonderful individuals.

Darcy is incredibly hard working … read more

I spent a great 2 weeks here. They took a friend and I on short notice (we were already in contact)

Jessie and Seada have a beautiful house, a garden with lots to do, fun animals.

The work was varied, we picked fruit, made preserves, weeded, planted, harvested, dug a canal, trimmed the yard and sealed a roof just to name a few.

It was less … read more

Thank you, Darcy, for being a part of our hostel community! He quickly picked up on tasks, showing strong initiative and hard work from the start, and he was a fast learner in managing all the hostel responsibilities—from guest check-ins to maintaining tidiness and ensuring a warm environment. While he couldn’t stay for the full month as required … read more

It’s a nice cozy hostel with a stocked kitchen, books, board games and a homely feel. 1 big outside table brings everyone together and small nightly games and activities happen organically. When your on shift it’s just you so you do what ever is needed in the hostel and be the point of contact for guests then make sure everything’s tidy if … read more

Darceus, Darceus, Darceus... What can I say about you? Well, for starters, he is amazing. He is a very charismatic and curious person that enjoys developing himself and his knowledge, he is a hard worker, many times doing way more that what is asked of him, and he has also pride in doing a good job. You can rest assured that if you give a task to … read more

I had a really really good time staying 2 months here. Atlas and Ilir are great hosts and points of contact and I consider them good friends now that I could always return too.

Darcy was a volunteer in our hostel for around 3 weeks. He was very helpful with any tack it was given to him. Always ready to help and very easy to make communication with. He was very sociable with the guests and his company was very pleasant.
We recommend him for any projects in the future, because he understands fast and he is not a lazy … read more

I had an easy going good time in my 3 and a half weeks here. It was a little different to some workaways, they asked if i could do a few hours each morning rather than 5 days of 5 hours, but it worked out to less than 25 hours a week. They were happy to buy some simple things from the market for me, whatever I wanted, and often included me on … read more

We are so thankful for the time Darcy spent at our school! Having a dedicated, flexible and open-minded volunteer for two months is like we already had one more staff member who we as team could rely on. All of us (students and staff) were a bit sad saying goodbye to Darcy, but also happy for the friendship with him!
He is kind, with positive … read more

I had the best time here. It was my first workaway experience and I think it has spoiled me. The kids are a great way to learn about Bulgaria and they are so interested to get to know you that cultural exchange comes so easy. Your contribution to the school is whatever you bring to the table. For me it was playing piano with some kids, some … read more
