My next destination:
India - from Nov 2023 until Jul 2024 View allDescription
My name is Josiah and I'm 26 years old and from London - I just finished nearly four years working full time in London for a charity and I am now spending the year exploring India by train, meeting as many people as possible, teaching, learning and growing.
I have experience in the following:
Permaculture/farm work - building steps, digging swales, planting trees, clearing land, weeing, adapting/recycling materials, wood based construction, clearing land for paths.
Charity work - project coordination, communications (newsletters, websites, social media), volunteer coordination, placement coordination.
Hostel Work - worked in two hostels in Italy and India, experience in reception work, communications, making beds, coordinating activities.
Languages - English is my mother tongue, fluent in Spanish and Italian, speak some German and I am happy to teach and keen to learn more languages.
I have already met some incredible people through workaway and I hope to continue doing so. I am an advocate of exchange economies and engaging more properly with the places I visit within the world, I find workaways are an effective way of doing this.Interests
