More details about your skills
We Brought a house in 2019 and although we are not trained in any trade we gave everything a go ourselves. We stripped everything out of the house back to the bare brick, we had help from friends who taught us a little about electrics and carpentry. We layed the floors and decking ourselfs, built a frame to put in a downstairs toilet and also landscaped the garden. Once everything was finished and we had a little more time on our hands we started a small veg patch in the new garden where we grew, potatoes, parsnips, carrots, beans, lettuce and some hearbs. We also went on to build a pallet sofa and table and benches with the left over decking material.
More recently in 2023 we Bought an empty work van which we have converted into a Camper, we were able to use some skills we learnt from doing our house however with the van being only a certain size we also had to get creative to make everything fit.

What else ...
Our travelling journey started back in 2016 to South America and South East Asia, once we came back and settled into 'normal' life we soon relised that it wasn't for us and wanted to do something a little different, we rented out our house and hit the road again doing several workaways along the way. After agreeing we didn't want to fall back into our old life we found a job working in festivals setting up the glamping sites, we have been doing this for two years and now have a self built campervan we live in when in the UK. We want to be able to help people out with their projects whilst learning new skills ourselves.
We enjoy drinking a beer in the evening whilst playing cards, going on walks and learning about differnt cultures. We are looking to stay with our workaway hosts for anything over two weeks and if we find the right place then we could potentially be long terms visitors, if we are welcome of course.

We had a lovely 2 weeks staying at this dog sanctuary in the forest. The dogs are all very friendly and free to roam the land which is great. We helped with some cleaning of the main building, caring for the dogs, building a kennel and small house on the land.

We really enjoyed staying with Ismail & his family. We were the 1st people to stay in his new workawayer cabin, which we really enjoyed it has stunning views over the rice fields towards Mt. Kinabalu.
There were 2 other workawayers there when we arrived who helped show us how everything worked, Ismail would keep the pantry stocked and workawayers… read more

We stayed only a week at Ivan's as we were on our way to Thailand. They have many ongoing projects to get involved with, there is a large workshop with lots of tools you can use or learn to use. They are using the wood from their land to build with so we were involved with slicing this at the top of the hill, bringing it down, sanding and… read more

So much was done in so little time.

Miles: very tall (very handy for reach), soft spoken and very unassuming. Great help around the place.

He helped us organise some of the preparation work to build our wooden lodging : sawing wood from our land, bringing it to the workshop, tidying up joinery and fitment of an unfinished wooden bed project and… read more

We had the most amazing time on Layak Island, such a relaxed vibe and we felt at home right away. Most of the time it was just us on the island, with Megat and Naim who are both lovely and will make sure you have everything you need. Some mornings they would give us a job to get on with, other days we would find our own work. The main work we were… read more

Hazel and Miles are amazing couple who worked independently with less supervision. Always ready early in the morning. Both of them are hardworking, friendly, also helped in the kitchen.
We hope that they enjoyed their stay in Janda Baik, Malaysia.

Ruby and Khirol were the best hosts, this was our 3rd workaway and the best yet. the work was mainly in the garden where we got stuck in with many different projects including planting chillies, cutting down infected banana trees, weeding and cleaning the pond. The food cooked by Ruby was some of the best in Malaysia (even though she says she… read more

Hazel and Miles stayed with us during monsoon season when its a lot of field work, and quite hard work, specially cutting grass, carrying grass and making compost.
They completed the work nicely and got first hand experience in the tasks.

I couldn't meet Hazel and Miles myself, but the guys at the farm confirmed that they were very nice,… read more

This was our 1st ever work away & we loved it, during our time at the farm Thomas was back in Norway so unfortunately we never met him in person. Him & Deepa have built a lovely place in the Nepalese countryside.
The work on the farm was mainly clearing around the coffee trees, picking & composting.
We enjoyed our time with dinesh, romesh & beemal… read more

We stayed two weeks here, Dhruba and family were great hosts, our work was mainly at the hotel a few minutes walk from the house where we did some cleaning, gardening and booking.com support. We also helped Menuka with some cleaning in the house and fetching water. It is important to ask where you can help as they don't like to ask too much. There… read more
