Description
My name is Sammy Cosmo, welcome to my page :)

I am currently between jobs and am seeking to find opportunities to develop skills and share what I'm good at.

Some areas I feel passionate about are cooking (plant-based mainly), languages, animals, living off-grid, and editing videos together.

I was previously an EFL teacher in Vietnam and a nanny in the UK, even though I studied media practice. More recently, I've been a chef at conscious retreats and festivals. I'm keen to meet new people and discover new places, especially places where I feel a sense of belonging and can be witness to kindness and thoughtfulness on a daily basis.

Thanks and best,
SC

I was very lucky to be with these guys, it was more than I could have hoped for and made me feel very valued as a workawayer. We had some really special moments; I got to know the family well and I the extended family also, thanks to all of their support I developed as a person and learned so much.
The work was varied, I loved looking after Mili… read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 or so weeks spent with Yesenia: it was my favorite workaway of my 3 months volunteering in Mexico.
Sand under my feet, yoga under the stars, sunset walks on the serene beach.
Plant-watering, sand raking, other odd-jobs.
Good communication, sweet dinners together, very easy-going.
Really recommend.

with Ashley and Oskar I instantly felt at home, which is a big thing after arriving in Mexico for the first time.
Oskar's dad (and brilliant chef) picked me up from the bus station, then made me lunch. his meals would go on to impress me daily as he kindly adapted to me being both veggie and gluten free.
the work was varied, and all felt good, it… read more

I really felt at home here in Frome, such a gem or a workaway. I was able to feel apart of a fantastic family and also meet some great people during my stay. The odd jobs never felt too much and, moreover, I enjoyed helping. All in all, I can't recommend the Hopkins enough and will look forward to meeting you all again soon 😇 x

We absolutely loved having Sam to stay - he was kind, considerate and quickly became a much loved member of the family.

Sam was an excellent au pair, like a big brother for our little son, he would come back some and run towards him to get him to play again and again! They played with his trains, draw, went to the park, read books in English and Spanish... We have been very lucky to have him and would not doubt to have him again. We will always remember him fondly… read more

In this charming part of Bristol, I found a sweet family to live alongside for around 8 months. I left knowing I was lucky to have found them.

I would take Thomas to the nursery 4 days a week and then have the morning and early afternoon free. Thanks to this I had lots of time for myself; to study online, go to Tai Chi up the road, go to the gym… read more

Having Sam stay with our family for three weeks was a pleasure. He is a very calm and gentle person with a ready smile. It was lovely to hear guitar and piano music through the house and he got on well with the children and thought up fun games and activities, and was willing to get involved with their projects.
Happy to help, he is also a great… read more

If you are looking for a well-rounded workaway experience, this may well be the one for you.
You will be very well set up with a sizeable kitchen and living room, a cozy bedroom with a double bed (and lots of books to chose from), a modern bathroom with a powerful shower and very hot water...

Living with the family taught me a lot about myself;… read more
