Profile information

My status
Travelling
At the moment my life is on 2 wheels as I'm cycling around Europe and looking to see what happens. Working remotely and enjoying freedom of travel without a set plan. In Montenegro right now.
Description
Currently cycling through Europe and trying to find a balance between working remotely and enjoying some interesting experiences while meeting new people.

As a means of making income I work as an Online English Teacher which is something I would be looking to do during my time at any future workaway project so I need to ensure any workaway I do has a solid WiFi connection (over 10Mbps upload and download) as well as a private room for me to work in.

I work part time and mostly on the weekends so I have plenty of time to do the various workaway chores and tasks required. I'm pretty handy and able to work independely or with others. I'm always keen to learn and pick up skills. I've done a lot of labouring, gardening, permaculture projects and some building work in the past.

I started using workaway many years ago and have had some wonderful experiences to date. I am hoping for many more to come 😁🤞

Nick, Di and Tim - big thanks for a super chilled yet engaging 10 days. I really loved getting back to basics and trying so many new things. The days were always diverse and everything is very much at your own pace - pretty much picking and choosing what to do from the never ending list.

Your efforts to bring back the indigenous flora is… read more

Within hours of sending a work request I was sitting by the Brisbane river talking big visions and eating nice food with a great bunch of people. The secret garden project has huge potential and I'm happy to have been involved in the early stages of the projects and ideation. My 12 days were full of diverse tasks and surprise extras eg. Yoga… read more

Lewis is a hard worker. He picked up new skills easily eg. using an axe etc and was always the first out of bed and willing to help !!

Lewis was a great visitor! He arrived on the doorstep ready for action, and showed the most initiative of any worker I've ever hosted. He could see (possibly even more than I) what needed to be done and was such a great help. He was very calm and quiet in down-times, sociable and cordial whenever we shared time together, and especially really… read more

Thank you so much Natalie & Nils for your warm hearted hospitality. My 11 day stay at your most humble of abodes was an altogether pleasant experience. Natalie, your breezy nature and cordiality made me feel instantly at home. As a working guest I aimed to repay your generosity and great food with a few simple chores throughout the course of… read more

One of the best travelling experiences ever! An incredible insight Into the life of rural Moroccans and Berbers. I feel truly privileged to have seen and been involved with some of the preserved berber customs and traditions. In sharing your simple and rich way of life, I felt at times like I had taken a step back into the past.

Discovering new places and meeting new people is what the workaway experience is all about. I am fortunate to say I have spent time in such a picturesque part of Sweden and met the wonderful mix of people that I did.

I applaud your eco vision and organic approach to food, as well as the trust you give to the volunteers. The work itself I found… read more

3 delightful weeks surrounded by good people in a lovely part of the country. Was an unforgettable experience and I feel priviledged to have met all the people I did. My time here exceeded all of my expectations, many thanks for making it happen :)

Best wishes and a bright future
