Description
Im Sebastian. Born 1994. 5 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall in germany.
Since 2018 I travel every now and then within the UK. Mainly Scotland and England.
I used to work in a Kindergarten. I saved some money and currently Im travelling and volunteering. This year I was already in Ireland and Finland. Now Im curious to see some other places.
I am mainly helping in fields of renovating, decorating, helping at the garden and stuff like this. I also volunteered quite a few times in a cafe.
Although I stayed meanwhile more than 5 times ( up to 6 months) in a Buddhist center, I also like to see new things to expand my horizon. In contrary to the community life at the center a stay with a family who teaches their child with home education was also very educational for me.
I studied Social Work and used to work in a Kindergarten in Germany.
One idea of my journeys is to search for inspiration for my work. The other idea is to learn new, or practice my DIY skills, in addition learn more about self-sufficiency.
Sometimes all goes together :)

What an amazing experience at this dog shelter! From the very beginning, I felt welcomed and appreciated as part of the team. The work was hands-on and meaningful, and I had the opportunity to contribute in many different areas. Through this, I learned a lot—not only about animal care but also about myself. The work can be physically demanding and… read more

Sebastian was a delight to host last summer (sorry for the late review!) He worked ridiculously hard, was full of interesting and stimulating conversation, got on well with everyone and was an absolute joy to have around. I really hope we do see you again soon Sebastian.

Time went by so fast, I actually wanted to stay here 2 weeks but at the end I stayed here nearly 4 weeks. Always a good sign when you stay longer than expected :)
The tasks I have done were varied. Next to the daily tasks I was harvesting berry, working in the garden and helped with the messy ness business. I also took care for the poultry, which… read more

I stayed 3 weeks in Rudyard and enjoyed my time here.
The work it self is actually not too hard and the working days are well structured. Another Volunteer stayed also here in this time.
I go along with all the other references. If you are interested in sustainable living, woodland management or gardening I can really recommend this Host.

I stayed 9 days at Magrets house, she answered my request fast. You can also ask her about the neighbourhood and the location of here house if you want to know what to expect.
You will help about 4 or 5 hours a day, depending on the things to do. You can divide the time you help in consultation with Magret. She is a kind and calm lady.

Sebastian was good with house cleaning and garden work. He did floor and wall cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom. In the garden he dug over flower and vegetable beds and made a brick border.
Sebastian would be good company for someone who likes tea and chat and doesn't mind a late start with jobs.
He was quiet and considerate.

I stayed 5 days at Johns house. Even in this short time, I learned a lot about cultural differences, and the British nature. He gave me good advices how to find my way around in Newcastel upon Tyne and Hebburn. He was very welcoming when I arrived, interested in my ideas and tried to make me feel at home. It was uncomplicated to arrange the time… read more

Sebastian is an intelligent and trustworthy young man who helped me with the renovation of my house. It would have been difficult to finish repapering the ceiling in the second bedroom without his assistance. He is handy with a paint roller and paint brush, as he took on the task of painting the ceiling. On the days that the sun shined, he was out… read more

Jacqueline is a considerate Person and full of knowledge & travel experience. If you have a question, she can give you a helpful answer.
I enjoyed it, when she told me something about the history of Bolton or the UK.
Bolton is a nice town. Some good Pubs e.g. the Hen and… read more
