Description
Hi! I'm Nick, one half of the couple on this profile - I'm currently using this profile alone (my partner is in the UK). Apologies for the confusion!

I'm British Cyrptiot and was born and raised in the UK, but right now I am spending a few months in Cyprus to reconnect with my roots, get to know the island better and improve my Greek Cypriot language.

I am hardworking and have had a wide range of jobs in my lifetime, such as educating kids in and out of schools, managing a hostel, working as a climbing and kayaking guide, working as a support worker for kids in care, and working on construction sites. I also do a bit of gardening and wood work for fun. So I am generally pretty flexible and able to pick up whatever work needs doing!

I am friendly, easy going and optimistic. I am playful and love games (all types!)
I also care deeply about the world and the people in it, and have strong values when it comes to social justice and equality, so would love to volunteer in projects that are aligned with these values.

We stayed with Ludwig, Raquel and their family for 2 weeks. We had an incredible time, learning about regenerative agriculture, spending time out in the field, or foraging for wild asparagus, making bread, baking cakes, being fed delicious food every day, spending time with the kids, playing games, seeing the village, going on beautiful walks,… read more

We were fortunate to have Cat and Nic as volunteers. Their enthusiasm and positive attitude were infectious, especially when interacting with the children, which they did wonderfully.
They were always eager to help, and their integration into our community was seamless.
We wholeheartedly endorse them for future Workaway hosts 👍

This is a very special place! We came for 3 weeks and we felt really welcomed and at home. All of the people running the project are incredibly kind and doing great work - it's such an important thing for the kids, who can come every day and do creative activities, get help with their academic work, or play games. And the kids had so much… read more

Mare was a wonderful workaway host! She accepted us at the last minute despite having lots going on in her life, and was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Her house is in a beautiful place with views of mountains and sea, and amazing stars at night.
She lives in a sustainable way, collecting rainwater, rescuing useful things from garbage, and… read more

I stayed here for almost 3 weeks and loved it! The work is very easy, the hostel is nice with a big kitchen, and I had a lot of fun with the other volunteers going out salsa dancing most nights and cooking food together. It was a really nice atmosphere!

This was such a great experience! The staff are so lovely and welcoming and really made me and all the volunteers feel at home - we were often invited to take part in activities such as caving, rafting and waterfall abseiling which were reeeeally fun, and even invited to open houses in the village so we got to know all of the locals. The food was… read more

This place was awesome! A beautiful spot right on the beach, an amazing group of travellers and locals which gave it a nice social atmosphere, the cutest puppies and kittens and very cheap diving. Perfect! Thad is doing a great thing teaching the locals how to dive, and the kids have so much fun doing it. Thanks for letting me stay Thad :)
