Description

Hi my name is Aidan, I am really excited to get out into the world, meet some more amazing people and see some cool things. I spent my last 2 summers volunteering at Buddhist and environmentally conscious festivals. While working at these places a found that I really love a community sort of vibe, with everyone being really caring and loving towards each other. I love being outside and seeing what nature has to offer. I'm obsessed with bugs and all things that move basically, I am really excited to see what nature can show me in different parts of the world. I like to play guitar and occasionally sing if I'm feeling comfortable. I would love to learn some new skills in a hands on approach, I believe that there is so much to learn from everyone and I wish to be a sponge to soak up all the knowledge and skills that I can. I'm especially interested in learning more about permaculture and building things of all sorts. I wish someday to have all the skills necessary to have my own place off the grid and to live off the land.

Hi my name is Taryn, I am on a new journey of exploration and adventure and I’m super excited for what is next! I have been working at a small independent holistic and crystal shop for the past few years, as well as being a reiki practitioner. I enjoy being outdoors and spending my time in nature. I love fossil hunting, exploring the woods and learning about trees and plants. I am also learning how to play to the guitar and how to speak Spanish. Over the summer months I volunteered at a few conscious festivals which I really enjoyed. During this time I have been inspired by many of the interesting people I met. These had a huge impact on the way I saw life and I had a realisation, that life is for living, who’d have thought!!

I hope that my Workaway experiences will enrich my life and teach me lots of new skills! As well as making new friends and connections.

Thanks for reading 🙂

More details about your skills

Aidan: I have previously worked as an air conditioning engineer assistant so I have experience with working on a building site, using different tools. I have spent lots of time outdoors so which has led to me gaining a good knowledge of nature and bush craft. I volunteered at a rehab for over a year where I gained an invaluable skill in authentic communication with people, I also gained experience in housekeeping from this role. I have done lots of private work in peoples gardens, helping with things from weeding and planting to building ponds and sheds. I play guitar and Chess which I am very keen to share with other people. I love to cook and keep fit which I think is always more fun with other people. I am a massive animal person and I have spent a lot of my life caring for all sorts of animals from cats and dogs to snakes and insects.

Taryn: Most of my jobs have included working with the public, which has allowed me to pick up lots of great communication skills. I love chatting to different people, learning from them as well as teaching too. I enjoy keeping fit and active, I completed my first half marathon this year which was a huge achievement for me as I wouldn’t never have considered myself to be a runner until this year. I also enjoy the gym and hiking. In the last couple of years, I have had my own creative business, sculpting and painting ornaments and décor items and I currently have another passion/business which is reiki and crystal healing. As well as Aidan, I am a huge animal lover, I have been around animals all my life, they bring me so much joy! I also have experience in housekeeping, team management, problem solving, bar work, and I have a UK driving license.
