Description
I have reached an end to my job in Bristol, UK, and am looking to rediscover my creativity. After studying Anthropology, environmental governance and just recently working as an environmental social researcher, I am looking to grow my creative passions again, mainly dance. I'd love to learn contemporary dance, circus skills, violin and singing! Always open to meet new people and to learn new things, to swim and learn to surf... and to be present in the moment!
I love learning about natural building and carpentry, new recipes.. and i adore going wild swimming!
Just looking for fun experiences and to laugh with people :)

I had a magical week at Callum y Marina's, feeling so grateful to have met them and been able to experience life here. They are kind and generous hosts who really cared about my experience there and looking after me:) We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. The work was fun and the atmosphere was super relaxed, and there's a lot of surfing… read more

Me and my friend Jessie stayed with Tim and Claire for two weeks in October, and it was the best workaway experience I’ve ever had:) Tim and Claire are the coolest people and are beautifully warm and inspiring people. We had the most incredible two weeks living with them and learning about the incredible work they do and their amazing… read more interests.

They inspired me in so many ways, working so passionately for what they stand for, being wise and gentle parents, incredible cooks who prioritise clean healthy ingredients, and being so relaxed and just always able to have a laugh.

They are so talented!! Anyone staying here will learn so much just through being in their presence. They are obsessed with good organic food, with incredible cooking skills. We ate like queens our entire stay, I was so excited for every meal we shared with them. Claire is a goddess and is a master at baking (the BEST) breads and fermenting incredible kombucha and pickling.. she will happily explain anything you want to learn! Tim is so wonderfully passionate about his inspirational work and farming ideas, it will inspire you to be too. He taught us about his regenerative method of farming and it has made me so excited about what lies in the future of farming ! These guys made us feel so at home from the beginning, were understanding and relaxed and made us feel like part of the family.

And Alby!!! Alby is the most wonderful 4 year old I’ve ever met, he’s smart and creative and was so easy to have fun with. We had a lot of fun playing with him for a few hours after school, he’ll probably teach you how to make fresh pasta or how to make the best lego car!!

With not much to volunteer with at the house, Tim and Claire brought us to work with them at the different projects they’re involved with, we helped harvest organic ingredients on a beautiful farm (thank you Rory Mike and Dan!!) And help out in the market garden at the most beautiful bnb (Thanks Milo and Bart!!) Such beautiful people all so passionate about permaculture, growing quality food and doing it sustainably. It’s such a wonderful funny group of people who are so easy to get along with and make everyone feel extremely welcome

On the weekends we had so much fun exploring the local areas and beaches of Bude and Portwrinkle which are an easy drive and a really fun day out with lots to do and see. Definitely go surfing in Watergate Bay in your free time!! The weekends are completely yours and Claire and Tim are really lovely about respecting your time off and privacy. The local nature is beautiful and walking Ziggy the puppy was a lovely afternoon activity.

I couldn’t recommend these guys enough as a host, there is so much to learn here and you will be treated as a valued member of the team and family. Thank you so much guys, this was such a valuable and fun experience, will definitely make it make here one day!! :))
