Description
Hi! I'm Tilly a friendly traveller from the lake district in 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.
I am determined, adaptable, self motivated and use my initiative.
I love to cook nutritious vegetarian food and to be creative in different forms.
I’m interested in finding sustainable balance and wellbeing. I am very curious and keen to learn more about regenerative agriculture, holistic medicine, communication and languages.

I was so glad to spend two months on this finca and would recommend to anyone considering going, to do so and make a connection with Nika and Thomas. Their place has so much handmade character, vibrancy and life. There are many projects to get involved in like helping with the animals, caring for the plants or building and maintaining things on… read more

Every once in a while you come across people who make a really strong impression on you. Tilly and Max are such a unique couple, and I really couldn't expect any more from them - both as friends as well as volunteers. They'd often choose to work late into the night, probably because they genuinely enjoy giving and helping, rather than feeling an… read more

What a warm, wonderful time we spent together. We miss you both. We were inspired by G’s vision for the project and felt very aligned with his philosophy following flow and meditation through the path of music. This opportunity would be a great one for any musicians to jam, create, collaborate and produce. We learnt a lot from Andy's cooking… read more

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.

(Come and help us at a yoga ...)
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

It was a pleasure to have Tilly staying with us and we were sad to see her go.

She immediately adoped to our way of life and it was a pleasure to have her around.
Always in a happy mood and ready to help with whatever was need.

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
