Description
Hello! I am Thomas, from Houston, Texas, USA.

Currently living in Vietnam and preparing to do English teaching here.
I was raised by Viet parents but my speaking has slowly gotten worse over the years. A big goal of mine while I am in Vietnam is to get much better at Vietnamese! For no real reason, just because it'd be fun.

I've spent most of my adult life as a working muralist/artist in Houston. It has kept me sedentary so I crave adventure/different experiences. I've done several workaway-type things the past 4-5 years and have loved it. The moments I cherish most are the connections I make with the people I meet in all these different places.

I had a great time getting to know Cassie and Scott and the girls and Heath and the Holland family haha, Everyday was different which I enjoyed a lot. Scoot and Cassie are both very kind, hardworking, smart, and considerate people. I had a good bit of my own work I was worried about getting done and I always felt like I had enough time for my own… read more

Thomas was wonderful to host, he was great with our two girls, they wanted to play and wrestle everytime they saw him. He also wasn't afraid to do some "dirty jobs" around the homestead, and we really appreciated his willingness to jump in on many different tasks. Thomas is also very smart, and is able to look at a problem and figure it out. We… read more

Thomas is exactly like his profile picture. Happy, kind, thoughtful, appreciative, intelligent, and helpful. We got very attached to Thomas while he was here for three weeks. He was always willing to lend a hand, whether the task was within the work hours or outside. If he could help in any way, or at any time, he was always up. He has a lot of… read more

Work exchange always felt fair. Vai and Caru, the two main people of the temple, have almost opposite personalities but both are very kind and generous. If Caru is the… read more

We enjoyed having Thomas with us on the farm. He was diligent, great with the animals and loved the goats (to his surprise 😊). He got along well with the team and was always happy to help. Thank you Thomas for spending time with us!!

I enjoyed my stay very much. It's been several months since I've left so apologies for not leaving feedback earlier! Julia was very accommodating. She picked me up and dropped me off and taught me everything I wanted to know about working with goats, processing dairy, and soaps. We had a bit of a hiccup in communication about expectations but she… read more
