Sophie and Simon were a pleasure to have they were pretty self-contained with their own camper. They did any chore. I ask them no matter how crazy I would highly recommend any host to grab onto these people. They’re a pleasure to have. Thank you so much for all your help, good luck on life‘s journey
Our stay at Tim’s place was amazing. We spent about two weeks at his beautiful and interesting property in November 2024. He was preparing for his trip to Mexico and we helped him do so and prepared some firewood for the winter. Kyle, another workawayer who had stayed there for a couple of months showed us everything and made sure we feel
… read more comfortable. He and Tim regularly prepared the sauna or the hot tub for us which was amazing during this cold time of the year and enjoyed some cold plunges in the creek afterwards. They showed us how the chainsaw worked because we were really interested in that and let us drive the quad a little bit. Tim made a really nice trip to the redwoods with us which we really enjoyed. He also helped us a lot with our camper as he has a lot of knowledge about repairing things. The meals he eats are haerty but healthiness isn't really the focus. This was one of our favorite Workaways we have done so far. Even though it was very off grid it was amazing spending time in nature, going in the sauna or hottub and meeting another amazing workawayer Haven.

Tim was an amazing host, understanding, accommodating, and hospitable. The property is amazing and teeming with fun and fascinating things waiting to be admired.

Staying with Tim has so many good things that it might be easier to say why you shouldn't go.
Don't go there if you:
- don't like to be immersed by wonderful nature 24/7
- don't want to have refreshing conversations about anything that goes through your mind
- don't want to experience a true off-grid stay, where you can reconnect with nature and

- don't want to partecipate in maintaining the property as good as it looks, and being satisfied with your work
- don't like to refresh yourself with a swim in the creek, that's flowing right in front of your trailer
- don't want to take walks in the endless woods that surround the property.
But if you do want to live all these great experiences, then this workaway is perfect for you, as much as it was for me!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

If someone asked me to imagine a cabin in the woods, it'd be hard to come up with something much different to Tim's place.

Luckily, thanks to a warm and cozy wood-stove and Tim's encyclopedic knowledge of everything firewood related, its endless varieties and the proper time to use each kind, you'll never get too cold. Even outside, Tim's worldly and entertaining stories in unison with the daily tasks will keep both your mind and body busy as the day warms up.
Anyone wanting to experience true outdoors adventure or those seeking shelter from the hectic city life should come here for a few days and get healed by the purest air, the crystalline spring water and the gentle murmurs of the forest.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Working at Tim’s off-grid site was extremely interesting. I have never lived off grid before and the experience was both different, and in many ways, freeing. The work at Tim’s was quite varied too.

Tim is also very well travelled and I enjoyed many evenings chatting and hearing about all the stories he had. Tim is very good at imparting knowledge and I felt I was learning both on the job and off. Overall the experience was one that was extremely unique and beneficial, physically and mentally.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

The mental rest you can find for yourself by being at his place in the woods is priceless, such peacefulness was unknown to me before I worked with Tim, but now it's something that I truly miss. Cultural exchange naturally comes too, Tim is a full blood American, who's ready to show you how it works in his country and his customs. His dog Stella is also way too precious, but be wary, she loves licking anybody and everybody on the face because that's what she does best. I'm truly thankful for having been able to experience the experience that Tim offers, and you better be ready for something nice if you decide to make your way to the pick up point.
Notable points of interest:
Lots of beautiful flora and fauna!
The hot tub to chill out in (but you gotta be ready to put in effort to get the heat started!)
A beautifully clear and nerve tinglingly cold creek to dip into after a good days worth of hard work

He loved to hang out and visit after the working day was over but also never minded leaving us be if that's what we preferred. His lightheartedness, appreciation for the world around him, and love of life was as contagious as it was refreshing. His dog Stella was so friendly, always happy to see us, and became great friends with our dog! Tim's property is truly something out of a fairytale. For my wife and I it was the soothing murmur of corral bottom creek, unreal number of stars in the night sky, abundance of plant and wildlife, lack of cell phone service (and therefore the outside world), and genuine company from Tim that made this place so special and unforgettable. I really could go on and on (did I mention the wooden, fire heated, hot tub?) about the wonders of working, playing and living in such an oasis, but it's something that can only be truly understood by experiencing it for yourself.

This place is a life-filled piece of heaven, and I fully mean that. It was an absolute blessing and privilege to have experienced Tim’s raw and beautiful piece of land!

Tim is a wonderful, warm-hearted man whose heart is to love the land and the people and animals that share it. I am grateful to have met him and I enjoyed learning about his adventures and experiences of life. And there’s Libby, the best dog I’ve ever known. She will melt your heart and make you want to kidnap her - and that’s coming from someone who has never even taken to dogs! The two of them live a full life and sharing in it was special.
What i appreciate about Tim is that he is intentional about helping each workawayer find work on the homestead that is both effective as well as meaningful and enjoyable for you. There are the general tasks that need doing but I for example, as an artist, was asked to help Tim repaint his whole cabin and redecorate the space - together we turned it into a home for him and that was SO MUCH FUN.
I would recommend this to everyone, but especially those who are looking for a stripped down, back to basics, peaceful time in the middle of nature and all its beautiful quirks. You won’t regret it.
Don’t expect luxurious experiences, that’s not what the environment’s priorities are - expect to work hard, communicate your expectations/questions well (Tim is very understanding and accommodating), use basic facilities like an outside shower and a compost toilet, and expect to rough it at times. It is so worth it, the place and the work is purposeful and will refresh you!
Tim was so kind to take us to Arcata on the Pacific coast and show us the Redwoods, and he shared his beekeeping knowledge and process with us too which was fascinating and special. If you’re lucky, you might even get to meet Tim’s amazing neighbors Dave and Annette - there is such a cool community of good-hearted people out in Tim’s Area. I was initially concerned about the seclusion of the homestead but it is not completely isolated and there are neighboring occupied pieces of land all around.

My time in Tim’s house was amazing! I really enjoyed this beautiful and gentle forest. Tim is a great host, he likes to teach and share about live and living out. This is a magical place with super nice people around. I’ve learnt about woods, fire making, bees, gardening and I had very nice conversations about live and society. This is for sure a

This was my first Workaway experience and I must say I cant imagine a better place to start. Tim is an amazing person, very kind and understanding, always trying to help and explain everything we were doing. I learnt so much from him; about living off the grid, about what it takes to take care of a such big property deep in the woods... I had a
… read more chance to improve my skills in wood chopping, pruning, lawn mowing, gardening, firemaking, beekeeping... But most importantly, I learnt about life. Tim's experiences and stories from his travels, his knowledge, ideas and approach to life really opened my eyes and encouraged me to continue pursuing my dreams and don't worry about small things. I'm really grateful for that.
Secondly, Tim's place in the woods of Shasta trinity national forest is a real gem. A cute little cottage and a trailer (workawayers' place), sitting on a small creek with lot's of wildlife and hummingbirds around is a real spiritual sanctuary.
During my stay Tim took me on many trips around the national park and to the coast. Redwoods and the coast near Arcata are the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life.
I will never forget this workaway and I can't express in words how grateful I am for this opportunity.
Again, Thank You Tim.
It's amazing what you are doing there and I hope that it will stay that way for a very long time.
Accommodation: a trailer with kitchen, stove, bedroom, compoating toilet (bucket), outside but sheltered shower, hot tub

Hana has been a huge help, physically and mentally having her around. She has a great zest for life and hard worker. Anyone who gets a chance to spend time with her is lucky and would be a true joy. She seemed to see the beauty in nature where others would have walked by from the mushrooms growing nearby to the light coming through the trees. She

It's hard to begin how incredible my experience here has been. I've stayed here about a month right into the time before winter hit. Tim is a wonderful host, kind hearted, holds an abundance of knowledge about the surrounding area and a great reference for life skills living off grid. I spent most work days clearing the forest and making fires,

I've never lived this isolated though, so it's not for the faint hearted. You learn to rise and sleep with the natural light of day and night, eat simple and truly immerse yourself in a natural environment that's so pure. I'd like to keep this review as simple as possible, however I cannot express enough my gratitude to Tim who's offered this very special experience to me and others. He's become a trusted and memorable friend. Anyone who comes to help and live this way of life, will be lucky and have an unforgettable experience stored in their back pocket!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Tim's workaway/property was/is an excellent opportunity to be secluded/immersed in beautiful nature. The landscape and plants as the season shifted to fall were beautiful and surreal. It is really a gem of hidden projects. Though it was getting cold, Tim was always very accommodating, ensuring that I (and everyone) was happy and okay/warm and

This would be a good opportunity for someone skilled in woodsmanship (..woodworking) and carpentry in the coming (spring and summer into fall) seasons and years.

Such a wonderful place to stay, hidden away in the midst of a gorgeous national forest. Tim is very knowledgeable and hardworking, a great teacher of all the skills and tricks necessary to survive in the woods. I had a blast chopping firewood and learning how to live without modern conveniences. An abundance of natural beauty surrounds the
