Description

Hi there! We’re Tom and Greg, a 33-year-old Polish couple living in Berlin, Germany (together for over 13 years). In November 2026, we’re heading back to Australia for our THIRD adventure Down Under :)

We’ve already had two amazing workaway experiences in Australia and New Zealand, in 2019 and 2023. Both were truly life-changing, and we’re now excited again to visit favorite spots, discover new places, meet new inspiring people and take on some new challenges.

A little bit about us:

🍇 for the past 4 years, we’ve been running a small vineyard in Poland and learning more about winemaking every season. We completed WSET Level 2 earlier this year

🍇 we divide our time between Berlin and the Polish countryside, where we’re constantly expanding our garden and trying to grow more of our own food

🍇 Tom is a vegan chef, Greg is a barista

🍇 we’re both vegan and enjoy cooking, gardening and spending time outdoors

🍇 we’re easy-going, friendly, responsible and open-minded.

Our previous Workaway experiences:

We’ve done a bit of everything: gardening, farm work, helping run a yoga retreat centre, help with cooking at modern Buddhist centre, petsitting and much more. We also became completely fascinated by Australian flora and fauna.

We’re not afraid of learning something completely new. We enjoy being useful, sharing everyday life with our hosts and becoming part of the place rather than just passing through... :)

Hopefully, we’ll meet you somewhere along the way

It was such a pleasure to host and get to know Tomasz & Grzegorz.
We got on so well that they ended up extending their stay with me...though I think really it was Coco and Amber they that convinced them to stay!! They are great cooks and we had so many yummy meals, I felt like a queen being looked after.

We couldn't dream about a better stay in Blue Mountains at Frans place! Working in the garden and caring for Coco and Amber (lovely dog and gorgeous cat) was fun. Our tasks were not complicated, easy, and very satisfying to do. We are grateful for all the Frans hikes and places to go recommendations. Staying in Wentworth Falls we did some … read more

Our trip to New Zealand wouldn't be the same without staying at Caro's place. This amazing forest and food sanctuary is one of the most inspiring places we had a chance to visit. We stayed in a comfortable, cosy, private cabin with a magnificent view of the mountains. Work in the garden was well organised and really satisfying, especially when … read more

We spent two weeks with Karen and Al (including Christmas and New Year's Eve). We are very grateful for their hospitality and generosity. We had the opportunity to work in the garden, look after animals, and learn more about them all: dogs, chickens, parrots, cows, goats and even a peacock! In our free time, we could visit really lovely towns in … read more

Tom and Greg were great workawayers! They happily undertook any task that was set from gardening, cleaning, dog grooming to cooking and did everything to a high standard and with attention to detail. Greg even used the excavator to help build some goat playground things!
Tom loves to cook and he is very good at it so them being vegan was really … read more

Tomas and Greg were a pleasure to host here at KMCA - they worked well ( especially cooking!) and got on well with all residents and other volunteers.

We are really grateful for the first workaway experience on our 2nd trip to Australia. We stayed with Fiona & John for 2 weeks. During this time we had a chance to broaden our knowledge about gardening, native plants & animals.

Staying here was an amazing opportunity to experience rainforest and to live for over two weeks in connection with it.

We miss cassowaries, frogs, guannas and even spiders and snakes (but they are not everywhere, dont worry!). Thank you for great … read more
