Description
I am 28 years old from England and would love to experience new opportunities in the UK and Europe, hoping to make a positive difference with nature, animals and charity projects.

I am hardworking, and motivated by hands-on work, spending time outdoors, meeting people and learning skills.

My previous residential volunteering has included animal work at Animal Rescue Algarve, Fields of Freedom, My Lovely Pig Rescue and Surge Sanctuary, as well as teaching with English Al Fresco, refitting a marine research vessel and collecting 14 tonnes of plastic from the ocean with Green Warriors of Norway.

I have experience in DIY including concreting, fencing, tiling, shelter building, painting, angle grinding, carpentry and general repairs etc.

I have been learning Spanish for three years and am an Intermediate level, but need more practice in real conversations.

Cooking is something I love doing and have experience cooking for up to 20 people. I am vegan, but if this is a problem I am happy to be vegetarian during my stay if needed.

Charity work is highly important to me and I also previously volunteered with food poverty group FareShare in their warehouses and anti-war group Campaign Against Arms Trade in their library. I have also led projects in my music career with War Child, Musicians Without Borders, Music Declares Emergency and CND.

Thank you Tobias for having been an amazing member of our crew for a month. You came with an extra positive attitude, always wanted to help, and really put much effort and hard work into the boat renovation. We loved your fun, your English slightly eccentric take on life, your calm energy and your trusting company. You didn't come with much boat… read more

Theres lots of interesting manual work and… read more

Tobias is one of those people you’d always want to have around. I once called him unique, meaning that in the most positive way possible. He’s unique when it comes to the care, love, and happiness he gives to others and he’s unique in the way he always gives he’s all so effortlessly and makes everything he is a part of better. I’m so grateful that… read more

This workaway was a truly incredible experience. You get a real hands-on and in-depth education about the environment and the challenges daily. It’s a perfect project for hard workers and nature lovers wanting to witness porpoises, seals, native birds, fish, fjords, the ocean and the human impact on our seas and environment - and actively do… read more

I had a fantastic six weeks working with the students here. Garry’s course is really effective for learning so you get a great sense of achievement each week. The most important task is to keep the energy up so they gain confidence and enjoy practicing English. You don’t have to be an expert, just be able to gently correct and guide them. With the… read more

It was a pleasure to have Tobias working for us. He was loved by all our guests and worked hard throughout his 6 week stay with us. I felt completely at ease leaving him in charge at the house, he was always respectful and responsible. You'd be lucky to have him at your Workaway as he's smart, kind, great with people and enthusiastic about… read more

He was the lead on the yard area of our farm and did an excellent job. He was strong and confident and carried out his tasks with efficiency and to a very… read more

Working here for a month was a truly fantastic opportunity and I made some unforgettable memories, I don’t think I stopped smiling the whole time I was there!

You live and work closely with the volunteers but it is also a great place to have some space as well as socialise. The work tends to have a basic daily routine, but there are important… read more
