Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi I'm Olly, I'm 19 years old. I love wildlife and the natural world. In my spare time I like walking, spending time outdoors, drawing, reading and listening to music. Since studying agriculture at college I have worked for a year in organic farming, and spent some time building oak shepherds huts. I am currently on Workaway in the Pyrenees, building timber houses on an eco project.
I want to travel to make myself a more widely cultured person, meet people and see different parts of Europe and then the rest of the world.
I believe strongly in respecting nature, eating organic food whenever possible, and living a healthy life.
I have recently started Workaway but some of my work in the last 2 years has been voluntary. I have travelled with my family in Europe, and Workaway is the start of my solo adventures.

Basic carpentry, some livestock husbandry, standard cooking. While working on farms I routinely operated a bobcat farm vehicle, used a tractor mounted log splitter, and did some building and repairing fences. In 2025 I have been gaining skills in building timber eco homes.

What else ...

As well as walking and spending time outdoors in nature I like to look for vintage clothes at my local charity shops and street markets in London, and really enjoy talking to people in the markets. I'm interested in culture and history, and I like finding and listening to traditional music from around the world. I love spending time with my friends and family.
