Description
Hi I'm Will , born in Yorkshire, England but grew up in the middle east . I currently am taking some time off from working in a 4 star hotel to travel and have some new experiences. I have always enjoyed both cooking and eating good food , recently learning on the job as a chef .

My main interests are carpentry , specifically furniture making . I have spent many hours since 2020 making furniture , some of which I am very proud of (beds, chairs, tables and plenty of smaller pieces too) I also have undertaken various DIY tasks including : replacing and laying floorboards , painting , repointing brickwork etc . I have a little experience gardening and generally enjoy any practical hands on tasks, especially outside .

I am a keen cyclist and can carry out simple bicycle maintenance .

Will is a nice easy going guy who worked well in the team. He was flexible and friendly. He looked after the dogs well and enjoyed walking them. Thank you for your help Will, you would be welcome back any time.

My stay at the dog shelter was enjoyable , the work was not too challenging , getting to know the dogs was really rewarding and I had a great time with the other volunteers . Ruth and Karen are fair and easy to get on with . I hope to return in the future .

William was a good surprise to have around. I didn't know what to expect and I was very pleased with the work he achieved and the way he did it. He got along very well with Tim, another volunteer helping me at the time. The three of us had a great time here. I hope to see William again here in late August. Have a safe trip!

I stayed with Julien for around 8 days and would have enjoyed staying longer. He lives in an awesome place and has really interesting ideas about what he wants to do with his land.

William stayed with us for three weeks in June 2015. He is a good steady worker and is very helpful around the house. He helped with weeding, setting up an irrigation system for our vineyard and worked well with a bush cutter. He is thoughtful and quiet but very easy to get along with. We would be happy to see him back here in the future.

(Very good )

My first time using workaway couldn't have been any better, Alan and Lara are some of the nicest, most genuine people I've met and they were very welcoming. The work can be extremely rewarding and I found myself wanting to help more and more. The accommodation was wonderful, and Lara is a great cook. Mealtimes were something to look forward to and… read more
