Description
Hey! My name is Peter Oldcorn. I am 23 years of age. I was born in the UK before moving to live in Tamil Nadu, South India at the age of 8 to 18 before moving to the U.K for university. I now live in Falmouth, Cornwall (the UKs beach county) and have just completed my masters in Conservation and Biodiversity at uni. Interested in nature and conservation, and a big fan of the outdoors, I've always had a love for travelling and exploring new places and different cultures. My hobbies include running, cooking, hiking, kayaking, wild swimming, cycling, tennis, nature and the overall environment, and reading. Also really into playing board and card games and simply sitting around a bonfire and having a good chat. I'm looking to do some work away this Summer after I've finished my University term.

As an absolute nature lover and keen wildlife-watcher,I would thoroughly enjoy working with animals or getting some conservation or environmental work experience. I am really enthusiastic about animal welfare, as well as sustainability and eco-friendly living. Would also love to do some charity work and help in any way can with the local community.

I am a friendly and charismatic individual looking to develop my skills, meet new people and experience different lifestyles! I am positive, hard-working and flexible -love meeting new people as well as learning about other cultures!

Left by Workawayer (Peter) for host (Enjoy peace in nature and ...)

Had a lovely stay with Marie and Antonio in their picturesque home in the countryside. For the first few days I was just staying with Marie, as Antonio was off working in India. Marie is a really interesting and knowledgeable person, with a lot to share, and great at dealing with people (even if cats are her true fave). My main purpose of visit… read more

Had a lovely couple of weeks with Gerda, Marcos, and Luna the loveable sheepdog in the beautiful Les Cabannes.
Tucked in a valley next to the stream, the house offers brilliant views of the mountains all around, and Gerda was able to show me some of the beautiful hikes in the area (of which there are many).
Gerda is extremely knowledgeable about… read more

Peter is a wonderful person. It's a pleasure to have him arround, chatting, exchanging experiences and working together. He is also an efficient independent worker. He is a good cook too. Moreover, the days I was cooking, he never gave me a chance to clear the table or wash the dishes myself. I will miss this pampering.
Thank you so much for… read more
