Description
Hi there wonderful WorkAway folks. My name is Thomas and I am a Writer, Chef, Poet and Musician amongst other things. I have been travelling the world for the past ten years with six being in Spain, three in the Netherlands and the remainder split between Ibiza, Croatia, Bristol and Thailand (which is where I currently am).

I love to cook and have run my own pop up restaurant for the past five years. I am a novelist and BBC award winning poet who enjoys nature as it offers me space to write. I am also a musician and singer/songwriter/rapper.

I speak conversational Spanish and some Dutch and love languages. The exchange of language and culture being one of my favourite things in life, I am really looking forward to the experiences that this will offer.

I look forward to meeting you all.

What else ...
I was once a very good scrabble player but haven’t played in a long while. I love music, great music moves me like black and white movies. I also love movies and books. I want to spend more time in direct contact with nature. It’s strange how you can be on the middle of a jungle and still somehow not do so.

Thomas spent one month with us, but it truly felt like just a day. Time flew in his presence, and saying goodbye was not easy at all.

He brought joy, calm, and a beautiful energy to our Ecolodge.He cooked for everyone with creativity and love, turning simple ingredients into delicious shared meals—often while singing with his lovely voice.

Truly one of my all time favourite places to be on this planet. And I’m not exaggerating. This is a wild and rustic bare bones type of space, but you will want for absolutely nothing while you are there. Gorgeous food is served and shared as if you are family, which you pretty much are straight away. Imma and her Imma (mother) are two of the best… read more

Thomas came to us in winter in Norway. We had also just suffered a fire so conditions onboard were a little bit challenging. But Thomas got to work and we all somehow stayed afloat. Thomas has a lot of talent. He can sing many songs. If you have the pleasure of hearing him sing. I recommend you don't make requests. Let him sing from his heart.… read more

What a magical experience it was to spend Christmas and new year aboard the glorious boat.
Cap kept things fun and interesting for the entirety. And while the lodgings and boat life took some getting used to, it was definitely worthwhile to be part of a family afloat.
Thank you for having me.
If you are planning on joining the crew just… read more

Ron is an amazingly sweet and very knowledgeable man. I was made to feel at home and given great accommodations. We ate together every morning and evening where we shared great conversations and laughter.
The project is a wonderful piece of beautiful oddness set in the gorgeous south Netherlands countryside. Loved being there and will be back.

What a true wonderland of both nature and nurture! This is one of the few places on earth that I have felt utterly at home.
A welcome adventure to find this little slice of paradise built by such a beautiful family. I was given gorgeous traditional accommodation and treated to music, conversation and being made part of the family were much needed… read more

My stay here at the amazing place that Nadia and Radhouene have created was one of the best stays I have ever had (on or off workaway). It was a truly magical experience to say the very least. I have learnt more about permaculture living in a month and a half than I could ever have hoped for. I felt welcomed as a part of the family and was in my… read more

What a dream it was to stay here. It was a lovely welcome followed by some amazing days of fun and community. I especially enjoyed the staff meals where we all cooked our favourite foods and sat together to eat. The property is beautiful and has a calm and serene energy. Just a great place to be. Thank you all for making it one of my best stays… read more

This was my first ever Workaway and I honestly could not have wished for better. What an amazing place to be, and such awesome hosts as well. There was a great sense of community from the moment I got here which turned into more of a family as the days went on.

Working here was fun and I never felt that too much was expected of me. The food… read more

This place was amazing. I was taken in and made to feel like a part of the family straight away. There were lots of tasks to choose from and we would take regular coffee breaks and talk about life and other shared experiences. I would highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone. I will be back to tend to my hedges soon ha. Thank you guys.

It was a true pleasure to host Thomas, such a warm, always smiling person. Besides this he was also a very very hard working man. My mom was super keen on him as he helped her a lot in the garden. Cutting hedges, taking out old leaves, helping with the horses, cleaning the swimming pool... he did everything and worked so hard. But moreover, he was… read more
