Travelling
Description

I am an active and sporty person currently living with my parents in Devon, England. I am currently working at a company that builds tractors and agricultural equipment. In my spare time, I like to go for runs, go to the gym and play badminton with my friends. After visiting France on holidays, I loved the scenery and the culture. So I plan on spending some more time there and exploring other countries by doing workaways. I want to use workaway to travel in a purposeful way and help people with their projects. Also, I love all food and like to cook a bit as well. I like animals, we have two cats at home.

More details about your skills

I enjoy physical, hands-on work and have experience in a factory where I currently help build tractors. This role has given me strong practical skills, including working with tools, following technical instructions, and being part of a team. I’m reliable, hardworking, and not afraid of getting stuck into demanding tasks – especially outdoors because I enjoy helping my parents with gardening jobs at home. I'm quick to learn and always willing to help wherever needed.

We loved having Toby here, he is a cheerful man to be around. He did many different tasks, and showed both endurance, skills and flexibility. He was social and inclusive with our other volunteers.

Toby was willing to turn his hand to everything we proposed, and he works neatly, tidily and skilfully. He is a quiet person who is happy to help. He was a great help to Pete with repairing the duck pond, a job we had been avoiding, mostly because of the rain. He happily heaved plants around for Janita. And he is also good company! We had plenty … read more

I really enjoyed staying with Janita and Pete. We had a great time playing board games in the evenings. We always ate together and they both taught me lots about vegetarian cooking during my two weeks there. I helped out with jobs around the house and in the vegetable garden which was really satisfying. I also got to meet some of there friends and … read more

I spent two weeks with Paul and Yvonne and had such an awesome time! We re-pointed a stone wall together and did other outdoor/gardening jobs on their land. They were so organised and good at communicating so I always knew what to expect, which I really appreciated. Meal times were always great fun and also very delicious. It was so interesting to … read more

We hosted Toby for 2 weeks and it was a pleasure! He is very easy to have around, very motivated to do a good job and he works hard. Together we made two ornamental garden patches, cleared dead trees from our lake and re-pointed an old outdoor wall. He picks the tasks given, up very quickly and executes them with energy and great results. During … read more

I had great fun during my two week stay with Francis, Linda and Amber. I helped them in the garden and did some painting in the house for them. They kindly let me use their bike to explore the local area and see some of the lovely french countryside. On one of my days off I got to visit the city of Albi. We always ate dinner together and the food … read more

Toby is the ideal workawayer. He works hard, is very considerate and integrates well with our family. He is capable of physical tasks and in the meantime sociable and open-minded so we also had a good time exchanging cultures and ideas together. Great experience overall.

I had a great time doing my first workaway with Clement and Clara! I helped Clement renovating their house. I ate most meals with them which I really enjoyed and Clara cooked amazing food. In my free time I explored the local towns and countryside and cycled parts of the viaRhona cycle path which was great!
