Description
Hi! I'm Tilly a friendly traveller from England.

My main motivations for using this website are to discover alternative projects and ways of living, make connections and offer help where it’s needed.

I’ve had inspiring experiences as both host and Workaway and really value this exchange.

Currently I’m attending a yoga teacher training course in Portugal and looking for some places to volunteer during the Autumn and Winter.

In the past I worked in a restaurant and on social projects, like making a tapestry with a homeless centre and co organising a local art group for people affected by dementia.

I am determined, self motivated and use my initiative. I have very good organisational skills, love to cook nutritious vegetarian food, play card games and to be creative in different forms.

I’m interested in finding sustainable balance and wellbeing. I am keen to learn more about holistic medicine, macrobiotics, circus skills, martial arts and languages.

After many year of hosting volunteers, I can say without a shadow of a doubt Tilly has been the one who has left the most impression on me. Her ability to contribute to a project is nothing short of miraculous. Her drive, passion, will and desire and ability, on many times had me in tears. Tilly helped our community in many ways, more than I can… read more

If you want to be part of a meaningful project, go and join this community! I stayed on the mountain in Steve’s house for 3 summer months. I originally planned to stay for a month but quickly extended this because I felt respected, appreciated and part of a family. During my time there I enjoyed going on walks in the surrounding nature, listening… read more

Tilly was an exceptional workawayer during her 3 weeks with me in May. She is smart, attentive and very conscienscious about her work and the all the groups loved her.
What I particularly like abut Tilly is that she doesn´t wait to be asked to help she gets on with it and even suggests ways in which she can improve the situation which was super… read more

This yoga retreat is a stunningly beautiful place in the countryside surrounded by olive trees. Tracy is generous, fair and fun to be around. Most days I spent in the kitchen with Che the chef, helping to cook the food, serve and clear it away. The work was always simple and enjoyable. My time at the retreat was really relaxing and I was glad to… read more

What a wonderful family, living consciously and harmoniously with nature. Shambala looks over the town of Lanjarón and surrounding mountains, on some of the rainier days we were inside the clouds! I have many beautiful memories from my stay, the little caravan with a wood fire burning, waking up and watching the sunrise, planting in the soil,… read more

Tilly has been here for 3 weeks, and I felt really good around her. She goes one step more than expected in every situation. One day we asked her to mind our girls, and we came home to a clean kitchen, a homemade dinner, and peaceful and happy girls. That is only an example. We loved her skills, her capacity to adapt to every single situation,… read more

Always in a happy mood and ready to help with whatever was need.
We would be happy to… read more

When staying with this Hare krisna community I met many beautiful strong women and kind gentle men. They were very welcoming and happy show me their way of life. We spent a lot of time discussing interesting spiritual concepts. I worked in the garden, kitchen and on various cleaning and sorting tasks. I always enjoyed the work and appreciated the… read more
