Descripción
Hello!
I am a bright and bubbly individual who has travelled to 38 countries and had a wide range of jobs from Engineering to Care Work, and from Finance to Teaching English abroad. I have also just completed a Nursing studies course in Ireland to add to my armoury.
I first did workaway in Germany and then back in the UK and Ireland. Most recently I added Belize and Guatemala to my list...
It's been a very diverse experience for me, with both the living conditions and the work itself. I've met some incredible people whilst on my workaway endeavours.
The one thing that is a constant with me is the desire to help people, in whatever capacity that may be. I like to totally immerse myself in new experiences (even if that means getting out of my comfort zone!) as I feel this is how to get the most out of workaway. Trying things that you wouldn't normally do is all part of personal growth in my opinion (plus the hosts seem to love it when you dive 'head first' into whatever they may be involved in!).
I would like to continue on this workaway journey so if you are looking for a positive team player who isn't afraid of a bit of hard graft then I'm your man!...😊

It was the most difficult time when Ian came and I could have never managed the situation as good without him. He has a talent for caring about people and finding the best way to help in every situation. I don’t think I can find the words to express my gratitude. He is a caring, strong, wise, generous and patient hero to me. I never met anyone… read more

Theresia is a remarkable human being. A heart of gold and so considerate to others. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know her and I really enjoyed my time working with her. The work itself was varied. Whilst you have the home comforts in Theresia's lovely home you also need to be prepared to spend the occasional night in a tent where her… read more

Ian is such a great person. He helped us in any way possible and never complained about anything.
He is polite, helpful, hard working and has always a smile on his face. We couldn´t have been more happy about having him with us.
He is skilled in so many different ways. He´s handy, socially very sensitive and has a good overview.
Thank you Ian,… read more

I stayed with Donna for just over 3 weeks and it was quite an experience! There were 3 other workawayers there too (Lahari, Tyler and Maëve). The main project was working on a puppet for a carnival in Kendal. It was quite stressful at times but we all 'mucked in' and ended up being a formidable team. It was a joy to see the fruits of our labour… read more

Ian is an ideal workawayer. He's conscientious and hard working, enthusiastic, meticulous, and takes pride in his effort. He is also lovely company and a great convetsationalist, without being in anyway intrusive. Easy to feed, likes his time to himself, a very positive influence around the place. There will always be a welcome here for Ian.
