Description
Hi! I’m Edwin, an adventurous backpacker from the Netherlands, and for the past three years I’ve been exploring the world while volunteering and learning new skills along the way. I’ve taught English in Morocco, guided motorcycle lessons in Vietnam, worked with wildlife and dog rescues, and contributed to permaculture and bio-farms across Europe and Australia. I’m a former graphic designer, a 3D artist in game development and a hobby handyman, so I love hands-on projects, woodworking, and learning anything that helps me build and create.

I’m passionate about sustainable living, connecting with nature, and learning practical skills I can one day put into practice on my own self-sustaining piece of land. I’m excited to meet like-minded, adventurous people, share knowledge, and contribute to meaningful projects while on my travels.

Edwin And Cecile were a wonderful couple to have at the hostel for 3 weeks. They were always so positive and happy to help whenever we needed. Edwin was excellent at helping us upgrade some of our posters and offering help with clever online tasks that we couldn't do. They were a joy to host and we hope to see them again one day!

We've had an incredible time at the Hostel. We were planning to stay for three weeks, but our plans changed, and we ended up staying a little longer.

The work is easygoing, the food is good, and the team is friendly and super nice. It truly feels like being part of one big family.

Since there weren’t many volunteers, we worked every day for four… read more

This place was a magical experience with great plans for the future. There is a good sense of community amongst the volunteers and the animals improve this even more with their amazing personalities (even Pili the goose!). The host, Raul, is very open and mindful and cares for his volunteers. The food, cooked by Alberto, is very good and truely a… read more

Katarina's place in the mountain valley of Sella is truely amazing and we definitely recommend visiting them!

We stayed at Sean's place for three weeks and it was truly an experience. There is so much to learn and hearing Sean talk about his dream of building a community in the future is magical. His retrofit earthship is the best place to learn more about self-sustainability while being surrounded by the tranquility of nature up in the mountains. Sean… read more
