Travelling
Description

Hi, I’m Tommy and I’m new to workaway. Recently, I finished my physics degree at the University of Bath, and now I am travelling as much as possible to learn from different cultures/from those with differing points of view.
My aim is to avoid having any regrets regarding taking advantage of my youth and I believe it is important to go off the beaten path rather than getting stuck in the ‘rat race’.
I am a very curious person and can take a lot of things in my stride. I enjoy various forms of exercise including Brazilian jiu jitsu and running, and I like to try out other things too.
I have a good level of Spanish which has naturally improved a lot after spending 5 months doing workaways in Spanish speaking countries. I would like to explore other languages/cultures also.
Finally, I would find it to be very rewarding to offer my time and efforts to those who might need a helping hand!

All the best,
Tommy :)

More details about your skills

I am a very good learner. I am up for any task (unless it’s to do with great heights!) and consider myself to be a capable person, both mentally and physically.

For example, I am by no means talented when it comes to physics, but still managed to obtain a degree in the subject through very hard work.

I am not a tradesman but can assist and learn quickly to carry out basic tasks.
If you need help gardening, building, etc. I’ll do my best and get stuck in 100%!

We very much enjoyed our 2 weeks here! This was my first experience volunteering at a party hostel and it really developed my organisational and social skills :)
The staff is brilliant (shoutout to Nhat and Binh!); very helpful and always there to support the volunteers. Our host, Andreas, was super responsive and friendly, making us feel very … read more

Tommy is every host's dream: Hard working and skillful, an exceptionally keen and fast learner (from power tools to piano!), always calm, incredibly kind and gentle, bright and funny, open, communicative, warm and truly easy to get on with (the perfect combo of mature, responsible, respectful and silly) and - last but not least, something you just … read more

My time spent with Jules was incredible. For 3 weeks, I felt very much at home and it is all thanks to this amazing, generous, and loving lady. I miss the musical and warm atmosphere that is provided in the house. Jules herself is a very accomplished musician and it was a pleasure to hear her play. I didn’t play a thing before my arrival, and now … read more

Tommy joined us for over a week and was a delight to host. Helpful and organised he was always ready to take on jobs and never shied away from domestic jobs like dishes or cooking.

He brings his A game to his work, painting the house like a pro, climbing ladders to clear dead ivy like an arborist and always properly cleaning up after he's … read more

The experience here is amazing and unrivalled. Anika and I could only stay a week, but are both certain that we will return again one day for a longer stay.
Giorgio made us feel welcome from the first moment at the train station, and after the first night of sharing some great food and conversation, the space and people felt incredibly … read more

On the day Tommy and Anika were due to arrive there was a train strike. We were in touch throughout the day as they slowly progressed in our direction but then, unfortunately, with one cancellation after another, they had to give in and find somewhere to stay for the night. They arrived early the next morning and despite having spent 24 hours … read more

Áine and Paul are fantastic hosts. Anika and I had a truly lovely experience with them. Whilst the stay was far too short, they were very generous with their time and efforts to make certain that we enjoyed our stay in Gragnola.
The room is amazing and the house itself is immense in both size and history. The work was varied and we both developed … read more

La nostra esperienza con Tommy è stata molto positiva.
Tommy è un ragazzo inglese, gentile, educato, volenteroso, accomodante e sempre disponibile ad aiutarti anche se è il suo giorno libero.
Ci ha aiutato sia nei lavori esterni,sia in cucina con attenzione e pulizia (cosa che a Silvia fa molto piacere).
In poche parole un ragazzo premuroso e … read more

I had a lovely experience with Fernando and Silvia. I stayed for around 10 days and can only say the best things.
Working with Fernando was very insightful and he taught me various skills. The work was varied throughout the large property, from cutting down trees/vines and clearing out land, to treating and reassembling the decking and helping … read more

¡Una gran experiencia!

I have had an incredible 2.5 weeks at this fantastic workaway with a group of great people! Lake Atitlan has so much to offer and I really enjoyed Jaibalito as a basecamp.

Working with the local kids, swimming in the lake, and helping with construction in a bamboo tree house!!!! These are some amazing highlights for this … read more

We were so happy to have Tommy here as a part of our family! He had excellent interpersonal skills and related so well with all the kids and adults that he interacted with.

I had an amazing time here and wish that I could have stayed longer if not for la Semana Santa. Todd, Veronica, and Chelo are a dream trio and their work with the kids of Cajones and Guanajuato is truly admirable.

We truly enjoyed having Tommy as a volunteer in the camp. Despite the fact that the sea turtle nesting activity was low due to the season, Tommy was always engaged and eager to assist in any possible way. Tommy provided a great support with the Earth Day activities. The young High School students looked up a Tommy as a role model. Tommy is well … read more

Mi experiencia en el campamento fue increíble y es una oportunidad que aprecio mucho. Estuve en Playa Larga durante un mes y durante la temporada baja, por eso yo fui el único voluntario. Para mí todavía tenía tareas para ayudar al proyecto y ocuparme, así como mucho tiempo para apreciar la increíble ubicación. Apoyar el proyecto del Día de la … read more

No obstante, su encanto irradia amistosidad y simpatía. Destaca especialmente en la gestión de las redes sociales, desempeñando esta tarea con notable habilidad.
