Description
Hi!!

I'm 27 and from the UK. This summer/autumn I'll be travelling a bit!

I'm looking forward to spending some time away from the city and gaining some perspective. I love the outdoors and living more basically, so I'll be happy to join you in any type of accommodation or tent you may have!

I did lots of workaways around 5-10 years ago. They've been in Spain, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, UK – some of my best memories ever are from workaways! The people and places were very inspiring

Back home I do enamelling and make jewellery, I won't have my tools with me, but its means I'm good at working with my hands!

I love talking about stories and philosophy and finding out how we find our purpose in life.

I'm a super active and healthy person, I have good basic carpentry skills and I'm a hard worker. The outdoors are my favourite place to be!

I also love music – I play the guitar and saxophone and always like to play with people, I played in a few bands back home.

I speak English and Spanish (used to be fluent, but it's been a while.. now it is rusty) - I look forward to meeting you :)

More details about your skills
I am very hardworking and practical, and am always willing to learn something new.

I have done workaway and woofing across Europe and I am well accustomed hard manual work.

I have good carpentry skills, and am used to basic conditions. I spend a lot of time outdoors and am very self sufficient.

I have lots of experience working with children and also with the disabled.

My main culinary passion is making bread, can't get enough of it – I can cook normal things too!

What else ...
I am really passionate about giving 110% to any project I am involved in. I will always try to give as much as I can, because I know that is how both hosts and volunteers get the most out it.

Philip is a super cool guy and an amazing volunteer who was up for every task going. He works with diligence, enthusiasm and initiative, and finished through on everything he started including jobs that were very physically demanding. He immediately became a popular and essential member of our community and we would have him back in a heartbeat if… read more

I was wondering what to write for a review for a long time, it is such a unique place it feels impossible to do it justice. But alas, now I have finished the kilo of chestnut flour I bought back with me I know what to say… you cannot get chestnut flour anywhere else! Its incomparable!

So sitting here now eating my necci (pancake) from… read more

Philip came with us to have a short brake from his medical studies at Oxford University. Conservative by nature with that English background he brought this other part into the project which was not to fill us with his vision but to ground the surrounding to reason and to help us this way. Never having a problem to make his hands dirty, diving… read more

I wish I could have stayed for longer, but I had to return to university. The help needed was not difficult, but it was not easy either. The daily schedule formed part of a structured and healthy lifestyle that I was fortunate enough to get a glimpse into during stay. The yoga formed the foundations for everything that happened in the house, and… read more

With so much amazing feedback there isn't much I can add about how great this place is, but I will try!

This is a beautiful place to rest the soul and I met many wonderful people who I will never forget. The place really comes alive when there are lots of volunteers there and becomes the somewhere you never want to leave. It had quite a lively… read more
