Description
Hi there! My name is Aaron. I'm a curious soul with a love for all things travel, science, art, and philosophy. I'm a published author of an adorable, heartwarming children's book called "Nemny and the Night Sky" as well as a travel guide about megalithic sites called "Stonescapes". I'm also an artist and love to draw portraits.
I have a background in physics (I love geeking out on the wonders of the universe!), but I’m no stranger to hard work. I’ve worked in the oil field, land scaping, infrared lens manufacturing, and even beekeeping! I’m always up for rolling up my sleeves and pitching in wherever help is needed.
I love meeting new people, learning from different cultures, and finding meaning in the little moments. Whether it’s helping with a project, sharing a laugh, or exchanging ideas and brainstorming, I try to bring good energy and a sense of curiosity to everything I do.

Great guy, professional and good natured. Aaron taught us some local history while he stayed and we really enjoyed hunting for Neolithic sites with him. Really hard worker too- sorry about the ants!

Roisin and Cillian have been some of my favorite hosts thus far. The room I stayed in was beautiful, with charming raftered ceilings, and their home and garden were absolutely splendid. Their family of four was a joy to be around, and I truly felt welcomed and included during my short stay. I’m already considering returning on my next Workaway in… read more

It was a pleasure having Aaron. He was flexible and did the tasks asked of him well. Most of this was outdoor during a lovely hot week here. This did not faze him. He is strong and energetic and an asset to any job. He is somewhat shy at first, but sociable with new people and makes an effort. I would recommend Aaron to any workaway host. Good… read more

I had a lovely experience at Catherine’s rural place. The yard is beautiful and the upkeep and assigned tasks were straightforward. Catherine was very generous and was quick to show her appreciation for hard work with a nice meal to keep you going. I also had the pleasure to watch and hear her play at a trad session at the local pub. If you play… read more

My time working here seemed to fly very quickly, which must be a testament to how much I enjoyed it. The program is set in a quaint hamlet in the countryside about 50 miles northwest of Poznań, which felt like a quiet, relaxing resort after the hustle of the city. The lunches and dinners offered a cultural experience and were usually very… read more

Aaron stayed on with us for approximately one month. The first week of stay is generally being trained in and taught about the bees. Even though all beekeeping skills being taught were new to him, he picked them up quickly. And was comfortable around the bees. He also helped out with painting of hives, frame making and some honey house duties. He… read more

I had a wonderful experience in the Galtee Valley; I learned so much during my stay with Aoife and her lovely family. It is very evident that she is very respected as an authority in the beekeeping community, and it was an honor to be under her mentorship. The number of hives she maintains is impressive and she has a wealth of multi-generational… read more

Aaron. Joyful, enthousiastic, curious, helpful, greatful. From the moment Aaron stuck his hand in the clay and began applying in to the wall of my hut, I admired his eagerness to help, paticipate and experience something new. It is always a pleasure working with someone holding such energy!

It was a great honor to spend my time (nearly a month) with Sini helping her here. She has a beautiful vision for the future and I am happy to have played even a small part in its realization. I had many great discussions with Sini and Eetu about philosophy, spirituality, and nature and through this course feel I have made lifelong friends. I have… read more

A willing, strong and capable helper, Aaron did indeed make an impression strimming the very overgrown garden and verges now happily gone to seed. He patiently made up emergency frames and will be a sure beekeeper one day . Happy also to take him to historical sites , he already had a lot of local knowledge and as we love to walk these places… read more

I felt that my time in Sligo with Áine was well-spent. The type of work I did in the garden was the type that shows a clear difference in the end; something you can look at and be proud of. There is always something that can be done, but the tasks are usually very manageable. During the free time, Áine was very eager to take me to several… read more

Vanessa is a kind person who made me feel very welcome in her home during my short visit. There is much going on, and Síofra is quite the adorable bundle of energy. The chores were straightforward, but the rainy weather slowed some of my progress with the outside work. Despite the incessant rain, I managed to clean and organize the shed, eliminate… read more

Margueritte and Frank were exceptionally generous hosts. They went so far out of their way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. I feel like I did not work hard enough to earn the generosity I received. They were very eager to show me around the area and I was delighted to see the various ancient dolmens and passage tombs only a few miles… read more

I had a wonderful time with Maire. She is a generous, kind-hearted woman who was also very patient with me when we practiced Irish together. She is accompanied by a very loving dog and a skittish cat that will warm up to you eventually. Maire showed me a bit of the area, and I had a fantastic time at the little pubs on Thursday nights. A bicycle… read more

Aaron was my first workawayer. I didn't know what to expect but I think he may have set the bar a bit higher than I imagined!
He is a lovely easy-going, enthusiastic, respectful and fun loving guy and we got on really well.
We share a similar taste in music and we managed to get through a surprising amount of tasks during his stay.

Mary was such a gracious host for the week and a half I was there. Her home is a quaint little cottage with a welcoming atmosphere. There is much to be done around the property, but I was happy to be a part of the ongoing transformation. I am very excited to see where the projects will go in the future. Evenings were spent listening to live music… read more
