Description

Hey I'm Jono I am a 34 year old currently travelling through around! I am very keen on getting to know more about the culture and food.

I have been working in many different areas over the past 14 years, from construction industry to farming. My current work is Biodynamic farming in the south west of Australia.
I have done some workaways in the past and always enjoyed the experiences, meeting the people and helping on beautiful projects.

I love the outdoors and grew up in a great part of Australia that is close to the beach, rainforest and some of the largest sand islands in the world. This gave me a great appreciation for the land and is one of the reasons I like to explore nature and work in nature so much.

In my spare time I generally like to read, climb, hike, play in the sun and eat fruit, learn new skills and tweak old ones. I really love music and finding new music and try playing instruments.

Although Jonathon stayed with me for less than a full week his presence and the sound of his flute will be everlasting. From the first moment he arrived it felt like hosting a brother I never had. I will always remember when he ran out at the beginning of the biggest storm I witnessed with a mixture of hail, rain and thunders to cover hips of hay … read more

My stay with Nuri was really great, he is a man with a big heart and a lot of kindness, it was great seeing Trabzon with Nuri and meeting his friends.
