Travelling
Activities i am interested in:
Currently in Koh Samet, Thailand. We'll be travelling to Chang Mai, Thailand on 11th February.
Description
I’m Tom, I’m great with people, socially skilled and organised, with confidence speaking and performing in front of large groups. I've worked in numerous places - driving tractors on a farm, McDonalds, fashion retail, bar & restaurant.

I've also participated in Erasmus programs supporting the elderly in Spain, Italy and Germany. In past Workaways we’ve helped on a farm, used tools and learned about self sufficiency. We have also volunteered in schools in Cambodia and Thailand teaching English to children.

I'm hoping for a hostel where I can stay longer-term, immerse in the area and get to know it well enough to offer authentic local tips. We’re both really excited to meet people from all walks of life, create long lasting memories for them and make their stays unforgettable.

Bông was such an incredible, memorable experience. Alice, Áine and Kiều were especially wonderful, so helpful and from day 1 made us feel so welcome and part of the team! The Vietnamese staff too were the best - they work so hard and treated us like family. We’ve only just left and already miss the place & everyone! Can’t recommend this Workaway… read more

Chris and Julie were wonderful hosts - we learned so much about Thai culture, food, history and were given so many local tips! We had the absolute pleasure of teaching multiple groups of children, from 5-12 years old, and also explored a less popular part of the country! So lucky to have shared this experience with you both, and we'd love to… read more

It was a nice experience to have Tom on my farm even tough it was just for a week. He is a good man and he was very uncomplicated and helped as much as he could with the skills he had! I enjoyed the gym sessions and the movie evenings together! I am happy that he learned some skills here on my farm :)

Although my stay at Thorben's farm was short, I truly had a great time and can whole heartedly recommend him as a host. I was taught to chop and split wood, create fires in cold and snowy conditions, assisted in building a new house in the forest and expanded my knowledge on self sufficiency. Thorben is a patient person, is very accommodating and… read more
