Description
Hello! I'm Adam, 29, and I'm excited to travel, learn and teach around the world.

In 2024 I left my job writing policy for the UK's national space programme to make a more direct and local impact, but still doing what I can to help people.

My number one passion is simply learning. I love to immerse myself in new skills, each one giving me a new way of seeing and interacting with the world, then taking those skills and teaching them to others.

I am extroverted, confident, positive, clean and respectful, and want to expand my understanding of the world through connections with others. I believe strongly in being open, empathetic and proactive in seeking out new cultures, ways of living, and fresh perspectives to take with me and hope I can impart some wisdom as well as I make my way through life.

I am looking to learn more about sustainable and balanced ways of living in nature to potentially use in the future for my own projects wherever I end up!

Age

What else ...
I have been really enjoying climbing/bouldering and would also love to pick up martial arts again where I can. Also enjoy learning new movement-based practices.

I enjoy reading, especially philosophy which is probably my favourite topic to talk about. People's reflections on life are one of the greatest ways to really understand them!

I also love all animals, so if you have animals I will be happy.

First off, what a location. Waking up in the morning and looking out the window to some of the most beautiful mountain views, calm and peaceful, the sunsets are gorgeous, there's a giant prowling monitor lizard - what's not to love!

It's hard to leave a review for this, because it feels more like leaving a review for a relationship, and how do you judge that! Staying with Anand was, I think, the perfect way to start my India journey, he really pushed me to feel and act like a local as much as possible and I am entirely grateful for all the ways he helped me to take the first… read more

Wow.. it is a pretty one-of-a-kind experience that I think it would benefit those of all walks of life to experience. The base and work is run in the most organised and supportive way I have ever experienced in my years of volunteering, and the culture this creates between the short and long term volunteers, the staff and the locals is quite… read more

Adam has been a wonderful, deep-thinking volunteer to have on program. They always provided great conversational topics both on and off the work site, and would complete any task assigned to them. We'd love to have Adam back on the program in the future :)

All right, here goes.... at first, we were a bit worried that he would end up Pathetic Adam II, but.... lo and behold, he was Adam the Supreme, future visionary and change-maker who we (seriously!!) loved and count on staying in touch with far into the future. His original plan was to go to a cat sanctuary, which unfortunately fell through, but we… read more

With a heavy warmth I write this review from the plane on the day of me leaving, full of gratitude for the opportunity to have supported Jackie and Julia's current and future steads. I hope very much that we (and Josh!!) continue to be a part of each others lives into the future, and of course there's an open invite whenever I end up initiating my… read more

What a little pocket dimension Sam and Mike have created here in rural Taiwan. Right from when you enter the main gate you realise you've found yourself somewhere special, full of heart, soul and vision. Also their dog Poppy is just the absolute sweetest thing in the world and I miss her very much.

I needed a safe place to reset for a while and… read more

Then came the computer questions… read more

My whole life I have loved elephants and dreamt of seeing them. I'd gone 27 elephantless years until I applied relatively last minute to volunteer at the place and the day before arriving unfortunately saw my first elephant being ridden through Ayutthaya. All this did was affirm that I was going to be super critical of any ethical sanctuary and… read more

My first Workaway experience and an absolutely beautiful one at that. One of the most freeing and opening parts of my travels - the kids are amazing, warm, smart, silly, funny, unique, everything kids should be. Alvin creates an environment for the kids and for the volunteers that shows the heart and warmth that he feels towards others, with a… read more
