Description
I'm a 28 year old English guy who has spent the last 4 years working on surgical robotics in the UK. I decided it was time to try out living away from the monthly paycheck for a while, and get experience doing work whilst travelling. I like rock climbing, wild swimming, cycling and playing the piano and guitar. My main aim is to learn skills for self-sufficiency and speak French by the end of 2023!

I spent a fantastic two weeks with Heidi and Winnie on Wolfe Island in early Oct. I had a great time helping to build a sauna, and Heidi taught me plenty of carpentry tricks along the way.

Tiky can be quite scary at… read more

Oli was an AMAZING Workawayer for us! No only is he super friendly, kind and generous, he works really hard with a smile. He is strong and just gets on with the task at hand. We'd have Oli back ANYTIME! Thanks Oli!

Working with Jeff, Oscar and the boys was one of the best experiences of my life. They were welcoming, generous and kind and I felt like part of the family. I had plenty to do on the grounds of the beautiful chateau and enjoyed spending my mornings digging, strimming and hoovering. Fully intend to go back some day. Best of luck to you all!
