  • Description

    Hey, I’m Ruben, from Bristol, England.

    I’ve spent the best part of the last 2.5 years travelling, mostly by bicycle or hitchhiking. I’m now looking for a place where I can settle for a while, contribute, and be part of a daily life with people — somewhere I can really connect and be involved in a community.

    I travel with my bicycle, which gives me freedom to move between volunteering spaces. When I’m on the road, I travel very lightly and simply, often relying on the kindness of strangers for a place to sleep or asking local restaurants for extra food that is going to waste!

    I enjoy physical work, being outdoors, and living simply. I’m easygoing, adaptable, and happy to help wherever I’m needed. I like learning from people and cultures, sharing small moments, and living in a way that feels calm and present.

    I speak English, and I know basic words & phrases in 15+ languages, which often helps in connecting with people from different backgrounds. I’m not travelling to just tick places off a list — I’m looking for experiences where I can contribute, be consistent, and build real connections with the people around me.
