I am looking for help mainly in the wild garden. I am a Workawayer myself and believe that the experience of skill and idea sharing is absolutely the best! I try to live as sustainable lifestyle as possible and have a high regard for the environment. I enjoy the outdoors whenever possible and look forward to meeting Workaways! I would like to host for one week at a time. I don't cook meat but have no problem if anyone wants to buy and cook their own separately! I play banjo and mandolin so musicians especially welcome for a jam around the fire pit!!! If my situation suits you then please send me an email!

I live in rural Cornwall and love to travel myself. I am a host on other websites and also like to do car sharing. I love the idea of a shared global community, working together and sharing skills and ideas.
Ayuda
I have a wild garden that constantly needs help, weeding and trimming. I have many small projects that I would like to do. A small silted stream that I would like to de-silt and eventually create mini waterfalls with recycled materials and other small artsy ideas. I am also adapting my loft into a cabin style sleeping space and there is often painting/wood treatment tasks that need doing. I would welcome help from anyone with some of the skills necessary for any or all of these projects.
I would like shared cooking responsibilities to enable an exchange of cultures, the cooking of one or two meals in the week and help with the washing up after each meal, and I would also ask that helpers leave the accommodation as they find it.

There are very good walking opportunities right on the doorstep, a small railway station and also a bus service in the village which is very quiet and safe. The property is 5 miles from the sea, 15 miles from Bodmin Moor and 5 mins walk to beautiful woodlands. Also Cornwall is a touristic area and comes complete with many attractions!
There is one very well supplied shop, one church and a welcoming pub in the village for you to enjoy if you wish!
Jo is an excellent host. She is very welcoming and helpful, and also gives good guidelines about the work that needs doing. We all made a big difference in the lovely Wild Garden and in the house, working together, and it was satisfying to see the changes. She also gave us opportunities to join in local activities, and walk in the nearby forest.… read more It is a very beautiful and interesting area of Cornwall. Thank you, Jo.

I am very grateful to Jo for welcoming me into her house. It's quite rare to find someone prepared to welcome volutneers into their home for a workaway in England, and be willing to share food/ house jobs and company so Jo is very unique in that sense. I aspire to be that way when I'm a bit older ! Jo is friendly, flexible and full of life and… read more nice experiences. Work was mostly in Jos garden, I helped paint and treat her outdoor cabin and furniture, did some deweeding (annoying invasive bamboo!) and decluttering in the garden. I helped cook a few times. I was very unlucky to have some poor health show up at the start of the week and I'm sad it was a short stay - 6 days, as I would have loved to have had more of a chance with some better energy to explore the surrounding countryside which is stunning. Workawayers should know Jo is a very active and busy person, and expects a fair shift put in . This is definitely more of a cultural exchange with opportunities to explore locally and learn skills then a relaxing cornish holiday! Good communication skills esp. necessary because it's 1 on 1. I am excited to come back with better energy and spend time with Jo for hopefully a longer stay. And of course eat many more pasties !

Jo’s pre exchange communication was excellent and she is a friendly and welcoming host.
We weeded the beautiful wild garden together , did some inside painting and took some local trips to see the area . Jo’s kindness extended to looking after me when I became unwell at the end of my stay and wheeling my suitcase to the station for my departure!

Melanie was a pleasure to host, her attitude towards the ethos of Workaway was perfect. She was keen to take on any task and worked hard whilst being good company. Melanie is a very interesting person and we had many conversations to reflect that. I would welcome her back at anytime and definitely recommend her to any host!!

Jhair, was very pleasant and willing to help in necessary tasks. He was excellent with a wood saw and has left me with a fine tower of wood !
Communication was quite difficult, due to a language barrier, but we managed well with a little French to express our meaning or explain a task.
