Description

Howdy

I'm a builder and musician. I love building outdoors and in remote places! I am also a muralist as you can see in my photos.

In my photos you can see some things i've built, the little wood cabin was built with only a chainsaw and a hand drill! You can also see some renderings of cabins that I want to build!

last year I was working as a lecturer at la universidad internacional de Catalunya in Biodigital Architecture, and now I am looking to build more! I want to be outside building!!!

I love people and animals and am happy to help with whatever needs to be done.

as a volunteer I expect food and a safe place to sleep.

I must also say that drugs make me uncomfortable, and if your property supports recreational drug use I would prefer to know before hand.

Frank is a great person and a great volunteer. We enjoyed his positive energy and his music. He is extremly skillful and hardworking. He made a tree house for us and we will be forever grateful for it. All the best Frank and we hope to meet you again soon!

Petra and Janez are so wonderful, and their mission is really genuine and inspiring. I loved every minute here!! What a special time.

My experience was a little different than other volunteers because i focused on one project the whole time, I was able to build a treehouse/cabin! It's small, only big enough for a bed, with a little tree platform … read more

Frank stayed with us for only one week with his girlfriend Sanna. They were very nice to have around, helped in the house without asking and played with our 8 year old daughter. Frank knows how to use timberman tools and chainsaw use. Frank paved a part of our garden and build a shed for firewood. Thank you both for the nice talks and laughter.

This is exactly what workaway is for! We had such a wonderful week at Cindy and Jean-Paul’s place. It was too quick! We hope to return in the future.

It’s all been said in the other comments haha.

We built a little makeshift woodshed and helped move and organize some of the old building materials. And on the last day I was given a chainsaw and a … read more

Ian is the best! and his place is magical. If you are lucky enough to snag a spot at this place, take it.

The living is rustic and clean, close to nature. The food is always shared and fresh.

I spent 4 months here with 5 other volunteers. We fought the ice storm of 2021 and spent our days building trails and cabins, sharing laughs and going … read more

I am surprised by all the positive comments for this place.

Maybe they have changed since.

The good:

1. Eindhoven is a cool city
2. The other volunteers were so sweet and fun (although this isn’t related to the host)
3. You can learn a lot from Alberto who was kind and knowledgeable (he was the only staff member that worked with us)
4. The … read more

Wow!!! such a beautiful place and beautiful people. Really a loving place.

Johnny and Erin are the two folks that were around during my volunteering time there. It was only a week but felt like a lot longer, in the best way. Both Erin and Johnny are so open and honest and sweet and welcoming. Erin is a fantastic Chef and always makes something … read more

plenty of love and trust from this family, Lerrin is kind and thoughtful, and treats you like family. Narray is so sweet, and makes me want a kid! Nora is also super sweet and sneaky smart, she is a great artist blooming. Siam was pretty much quiet the whole time, I got to sit with him and learn about Bonsai pruning one day, which was excellent. … read more

Pretty much everything has been said. Amazing project, actually working to help a real situation. Here are some things to keep in mind if you get to come here.

The living conditions are pretty gross if you’re used to clean living situations. There is a decent shower, but the main living area and bathroom are filthy. This makes sense as the … read more

Gianni is an absolute hero! Incredibly hospitable, everything is extremely comfortable and calm under his care. He also makes delicious Italian food!

The “work” was to walk with the teenagers of his community across areas of Greece, and act as a mentor for life, and teach them about other cultures. We mostly ended up speaking about friendship … read more

2 weeks here, well worth the stay! A multinational group of interns and volunteers, a friendly and extremely talented kitchen staff, and the center members make for a loving and entertaining community. The nature is so accessible and beautiful, easy to go hiking every day. The food is delicious!

To have Frank come and stay at your project is every host's dream.
He is a big guy with a big smile a big heart and an even bigger work ethic.
Everything Frank does is with pride and always with a smile. He's time with use flew by and wished it could been longer. However during his time he made wonderful fencing gates and incredible natural … read more

There is a poetic beauty stemming from the human scale and organic growth here. It feels comfortable in a way akin to a childhood home, or perhaps - an ancestral home.

The host of the land, Dom, is a jolly pirate of a man who knows exactly how to live in order to perceive the beauty of this world, and continuously projects that same light towards … read more

Frank is a quiet, calm and peaceful person who gets on with his tasks and as an added bonus he spins a great tune on the guitar. Thanks for coming to join us here! We see you again in winter perhaps.

What a kind Family! Deidre, JP and Dean were welcoming and made me feel comfortable and at home. This place is even more beautiful in person. It’s a fun dynamic of hanging around and working on the property. We were working on refurbishing some bungalows the time that I spent there. We also did a little castle tour one weekend. Definitely plan on … read more

What a nice and comfortable stay! Liz, Pierre, Nonta and Pico are really interesting and kind people. They like family the moment I walked in the house. The visit was only for 3 nights, as they had a conference to run in Paris, but would have happily stayed longer! Great food and conversations!
