More details about your skills
I have been training as a woodworker (mainly furniture, but also a little broader in my making). After those five years living alone and working flat out I want to go out and live a little.
Skills are building/ making. Generally hands on work I tend to pick up quickly if it’s new to me.
Currently finishing a Tefl course to teach English as a foreign language. A language/ culture exchange would be excellent (voglio migliorare mio Italiano, e imparo la cucina d’Italia)

Interested in expanding my skill set and up for all sorts of work if possible!

Olivia is very clear and open, always made sure I had enough to eat and gave me space. I got to meet some of her friends as well when they visited which gave me more chances to get to know Cypriots better, removed from the regular tourist situation. Ayia Marina is a brilliant village and the work was exactly what I signed up to do. Olivia is also… read more

It was a pleasure having Tom on the land. His woodworking skills are excellent and he helped me complete small tasks, as well as bigger projects on the land. We made a fantastic new compost toilet in pretty much a week. He is very resourceful and comes up with good solutions when working on different projects. We worked really well as a team, but… read more

Excellent Workaway, definitely recommend it. Garry provides food, plans and accommodation all of which is great! The people who attended the course were all lovely and working with them (chatting, helping and improving their English) was fantastic. The scenery in Scotland was amazing, and getting to see all of these places for free is a brilliant… read more

Tom helped us run our courses in Scotland and was a great addition to the team. He was always willing to help and all our guests loved him. You can definitely rely on him if you're looking for a Workawayer and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thanks again!

In short-… read more

Tom stayed with us for a bit more than 3 weeks and became an integral part of our team, bringing a steady and calm presence to our work environment.
Tom's laid-back yet hardworking attitude was a consistent source of reliability. We could count on him for crucial tasks like working the ''lanara'' (a 2.5m long machine that puts down the olives and… read more
