Description
Hello my name is Tim and I am from the United States. Ive been living in Utah for the last 2 years and really fell in love with it. I enjoy good company and spending my time outdoors. Im looking to spend 2024 traveling and growing.

I am a big believer on it being about the Journey and not on the destination. This being true in traveling and life in general.

Reason for Workaway/traveling
-being able to immerse myself in the workaway stay and really enjoy the local areas. I enjoy taking my time and not rushing things.

-Being able to make lifelong connections with likeminded individuals. Ive alway felt the most important thing in life is human connection.

-Being able to work under small business owners and learn from them everyday.(I plan on owning and operating a small business some day and am using these opportunities to learn as much as possible)

Tim - Was one of our top workawayers and co-builders at the hostel. Tim executed multiple projects with minimal supervision on time and exceeding expectations. He has a variety of strong handy skills and exceptional attention to detail and the ability to focus on a task until completion. We hosted Tim twice in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and would… read more

Better late than never. I stayed here for a little over a month and loved it. I love the area being 2 blocks from the beach and a block from la placita. Puerto Rico is special and I can’t wait to go back. The work was hard but rewarding. Staying at the hostel I was able to make many great connections from people all over the world. The manager… read more

I stayed on the farm for a little over a month and it was such a great experience I did not want to leave! John and his family are very welcoming and the community on the farm really made this stay special. The location is great if you enjoy being a little off the grid. I enjoyed working on the food truck and around the farm on the land. Maui is a… read more

This workaway was one of the many hidden gems in Alaska. I can’t put into words how special Alaska and this lodge really is. I spent the summer working at the lodge and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was able to learn so much from my experiences here and see and travel all around the beautiful state of Alaska.

Kate and… read more Russel the owners are some of the greatest people you will ever meet who were always their to help and teach me. It also helped that they had the same sarcastic humor I ( and the rest of my coworkers) have and we really had fun in the workplace. They picked a great team for the summer we had a great culture and everybody working really got along. It went so far beyond just learning to work at the restaurant any question I asked they really took the time out to help me learn it and really fully understand. Which was great for me because I love to learn. They went out of their way to teach me how to change oil in my car, brake pads, some of the business side of things and many other things. They also took time out to make me feel comfortable, show me around the area and make all the different people working at the lodge really fit in. They really boosted my confidence and now I feel like I can attack any project with the right resources.

I really enjoyed the actual job especially during the super busy months of summer.if you love to keep moving and working this job is great because there is usually always something to do at the lodge. Working as a server will really change the way you interact with people and I can say after this summer my conversations skills have drastically improved. Some of the tasks I got to enjoy were serving, very basic bartender, cleaning lodge rooms, making deserts or whatever was needed in the kitchen, basic maintenance and cleaning around the lodge and so many other tasks. This job also really help me save up and fund some of my future travels.

Going into town will take over an hour either way but the drive is amazing and hard not to enjoy. If you need a lot of people around this might not be the best place for you as most people only come to visit local area for a day. But this was great for me because I really enjoyed disconnecting and just enjoying nature and living. It helps to be self sufficient to live in area. The local area is full of hikes and many tours and things to do. If you enjoy nature like me you will never be bored especially during the summer with the excess of sunlight. I can go on and on about this experience as it really has help shape the next chapter of my life. If you have the oppurtunity to work at the lodge I highly recommend it. I also can’t thank Kate and Russel enough for everything they did for me and everything I was able to learn from this summer. I will definitely be back to Alaska as it has a special place in my heart.

Hope to see you guys soon. Thank you again.

Tim arrived at our lodge after a 4000+ mile road trip from the East Coast to Alaska with a grin on his face more than ready to get to work. He is a highly independent traveler spending most of his days off exploring the miles and miles of Alaska's road system. I believe he even drove through an active forest fire just to make sure he got to… read more

We loved hosting Tim at our farmhouse and holiday let business in Somerset this spring. He was helpful and easy going, worked incredibly hard and made a really great job of all the tasks that we gave him. He helped to complete two major projects during his stay. One was to build a banqueting area for our guests in the walled garden, the other was… read more

Tim is completely down to earth, helpful and hardworking. A genuine joy to live and work beside. He is a great electrician which came in handy a number of times. Lovely with the animals and took direction very well. On his days off he cycled to nearby sights, or read, or offered help if he saw you struggling - basically didn't ask for much in… read more

Was originally supposed to help on an extension on the farm as that fell through about a little over a week into the stay. I was able to stay and help out with all the different animals in which I really enjoyed. Cathey was a great host and an even better person. Meghan the trainer was just as great. I learned a lot about horses and the different… read more

James was the best possible host I could’ve had. I was treated as family from the time he picked me up from the airport to the time he dropped me off. I was able to learn so much from him not just the work either. He taught me many valuable life lessons. I stayed a month and was not ready to leave when the time came. He took care of everything and… read more
