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.

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

I am determined, adaptable, self motivated and use my initiative.

I 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 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

My dear Tilly,
I can not put in words, what a beautiful gift you brought us with your presens here on our finca. You stayed in the end much longer and this was fantastic ...
Where to begin...the two main projects you created( together with Max) was a beautiful, well-thought, planned and worked-out herbspiral....a straw-clay-sand construccion...it… read more was very impressive to see, how you two started and finished this big artproject, everything done with a lot of passion, joy and love....singing mantras while mixing the paste with your feet...the medicinal herbs i will put in her, shurely will have a big benefit of this ...
And then, the big wall...carrying tons of stones
to build a handmade wall around our garden...this project is definitly one of the most beautiful ones on our finca...and all the paciens, the hardwork and the good eye to see the right stone to put, makes it to a unique wall with a lot of hours of good energy and happyness in her and a beautiful view too...

Thank you also so much for all the extraordinary nice food ( tenia siempre muy buena pinta..;))
It was a very big help to know that you, even without talking about it bevore, often just took the initiative and created delishes dishes for us all...
Also with animals you have a very loving way of interacting and care for them, this was visible when you helped us with our ill cat Mäxchen...

I can say, overall , everything you did, you did it in a reflectiv, independent and creative way, your work in the greenhouse showes this well...

And apart of all this, , you are also a very inspirative, interesting and comprehensive young women, and it is a big joy to have you around and 'muy impressionante' how mature and deeply thinking you are..... i enjoyed a lot all the talks we had....and all the hours playing rumicup too...÷))

So, gracias a covid, we had the enormes pleasure and we can only recomend every host, not to loose this posibility, to have had you 2 month with us and it could have been much longer even. There are still things we wanted to do, so hopefully one day we will meet again
I whish you on your way never to give up, always look on the bright side of live and stay as beautiful and great and lovely how you are, i will miss you a lot.....
Un abrazo enorme, from all the family

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.
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

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.
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
