Description

I am a former Maths and Physics student and want to embark on a new adventure. I wish to explore and experience different cultures and places, and to enjoy what life has to offer. I know that I could very easily live inside of my own comfort zone but I want to challenge myself to learn new skills, meet new and interesting people and to see what is out there.

Soy un ex-estudiante de matematicas y fisica y quiero empezar una nueva aventura. Deseo explorar y experimentar diferentes culturas y lugares y disfrutar de lo que la vida tiene para ofrecer. Podria facilmente vivir en mi zona de comfort para siempre pero quiero desafiarme a mi mismo para aprender nuevas hablidades , para conocer gente nueva y interesante y para ver mas de este fascinante mundo!

More details about your skills

I am not very experienced with manual labour but this is partially why I am here, I believe I am a fast learner and after being shown tasks will be able to replicate them. I can cook (Vegetarian), clean and offer English exchange for all levels, I love pets so if you have them I would be more than happy to help you look after them. I would like the opportunity to work in gardens and/or help with construction/maintenance although I might need to be shown the proverbial ropes!

No tengo mucha experiencia con el trabajo manual pero esto es en parte por lo que estoy aqui, creo que aprendo rapido y puedo replicar las tereas rapidamente. Puedo cocinar (Vegetariano), limpiar y intercambiar ingles (todas las habilidades). Me encantan las mascotas asi que si las tienes, estare encantado de cuidarlas. Me gustaria tener la opportunidad para trabajar en los jardines y/o ayudar con la construccion/mantanimento aunque podria necesitar algo de orientacion al principio.

I was welcomed into the T&S Equine family for just shy of three weeks from March - April 2026, my only regret is that I could not have spent more time with these great people at this amazing Workaway.

Clare was immediately communicative and informative before I arrived, making sure all expectations were clear. The location is in the serene … read more

Juan kindly invited me to stay at his finca for a little over a week in February 2026. Most of the work revolved around rebuilding his yurt which had been destroyed by recent weather in Andalucía. Although we didn't manage to finish in the time I was there I enjoyed seeing the progress from a pile of ramshackle to a bonafide structure. Working … read more

Jacob's strength was a great help for wood axing, for an olive harvest and for some landscaping jobs involving moving rocks and digging earth.
The weather (wet and extremely windy) meant that it wasn't really until his last day here that I could witness his stamina, and we achieved a good chunk of work together.
I felt at ease in our communication … read more

I spent three weeks from January to February 2026 staying with Charlotte at her mountainside paradise near Lanjarón.

The views down into the valley and off into the distance never got tiresome owing to the natural beauty and openness in every direction. The mountains are full of hikes and trails, particularly along the acequias, Charlotte is … read more

I wintered at Fernando's finca between November and January and enjoyed every moment of the experience. You might expect a desert to a homogenous and desolate place but I found it teeming with life and variety. Walk in any direction for 5 minutes and you will encounter something worth staring at. I will miss the profound natural beauty of this … read more

Love this quirky, honest knowledgeable, hardworking man!

He caught us in our most frenetic month of starting an early harvest for the first time, and patience was needed for sure! Even finding an open mill to process our oil was a mission, but we did it anyway!

It was nice to have a mature conversational chap around who was interested and … read more

I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of glowing positive feedback for this workaway. I spent just under a month at the Almazara and as a veteran of a few Workaways I can safely say that this is one of the best.

Living in a cave might seem unconventional but the space is so comfortable that you immediately feel at home, it's warm when it's cold … read more

Jacob helped us with our olive harvest and was of great use with his hard work. He seemed to get along very well with his fellow volunteers enhancing the group dynamic. He is a very knowledgeable person and had lots of interesting things to talk about which helped to keep the flow of converstaion going at meal times.

(Very good)

I spent an incredible month living and working with Dominic and his wonderful family. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel included in the family, Emma is a modest and incredibly gifted cook who might have converted me to someone with the capacity to enjoy cauliflower. On top of that she has a great warm sense of humour and a great taste … read more
