Descripción
Hullo, my name is Jon, from Glasgow, born and bred in bonnie Scotland.
I'm looking to volunteer, travel and experience different ways of living, especially those closer to nature and the outdoors :)
I have an education/career background in the merchant navy, sports science, accountancy & customer service.
I'm open-minded and extremely keen to learn new skills. I'm really interested in doing more practical work such as carpentry, building, landscaping, gardening, farm work & anything hands on really!
I can only claim to be a complete novice, but I am striving to develop a better knowledge & understanding of sustainable living, permaculture & all things off grid or self sufficiency related.
I enjoy helping others with whatever needs doing and love to meet new people & do new things.
I also enjoy the challenge of physical work and can adapt to working either by myself or as part of a team.
As well as all of the above, I'm interested in music, running, climbing, hillwalking, nutrition, meditation/yoga, adventures and having a laugh.
Thank you for reading!

I'm hoping to encompass some of the routes of the Camino de Santiago.
My previous travelling hasn't been for extended periods like this but I have managed to visit Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and squeezed in a good few city breaks around Europe, my favourite being Seville! I have also visited Tokyo with the Merchant Navy.
I love the outdoors in my home country Scotland, although haven't explored it as much as I would have liked to.. best trip so far has to be camping on the Isles of Skye & Harris.

Jon and Cami are lovely people. Very helpful with great team spirit. They helped with wood cutting, stacking, painting, moving furniture, cleaning up, cooking and more. I would recommend them to anyone. Very friendly, relaxed and mature. Hopefully see you again 😊

Myself and Cammi were only here for 10 days but couldn't have felt more welcome. The work was varied and relaxed, and in return we were always very well fed. Got to meet a host of wonderful people too and do some exploring on time off. perfect! thanks again Helen, Michael, Joanne, Donny, Matt & Jon :)

Jon and his friend Calum stayed with us for a month and it couldn’t have gone better. They both were a great addition to our family and project. It was a pleasure to have had them working with us.
Jon was always ready to lend a hand, helping to plan and organize the work. Jon was a very hard worker, proactively carrying out the jobs. He would… read more

We spent 4 weeks with Carolina and her family and couldn't have asked for a better way to spend some time with lockdown restrictions in place. The whole family were amazing to us and it was a pleasure to get to know them all.
We worked on restoring Carolina's beautiful old house 5 or 6 days per week depending on the weather. Work involved making… read more

Jon was part of my daily life for 2 weeks, sharing the work in the forest, in the house and the free time.
He was a perfect collaborator who supported me in everything in a discreet and kind way.
He took my project to heart as if he were part of it.
Very adaptable and good company, cooperative and with a great desire to learn; not afraid to get… read more

Rachele's home is a great place to stay and experience a more rural side of Italy. I personally couldn't have asked for somewhere better to experience Italy for the first time. I was only there for 2 weeks but I am very grateful to have met Rachele and her friends and taste all the amazing food! I spent my working hours excavating some land where… read more

Having Jon around was great! Always smiling, respectful and ready to help, even when the task was not that easy nor fun. He worked very hard in the garden, leaving it much better than it was before he came. He contributed a lot to the well-being of the other volunteers, and to create a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere in the house. Unfortunately he… read more

I only stayed 10 days at Bruno and Martina's due to covid changing travel plans however I still feel obliged to say how accommodating they were. Bruno is a great and interesting guy, very chilled out about everything which is infectious and makes the whole atmosphere in the house very easygoing & chilled out. The work is not too hard and mainly… read more

What Lauren and Jeff said below! They have summed up the experience at Barry and Virginia's perfectly. This workway will put some hairs oan yer chist (I have one now). Despite their many many years of hosting workaways Barry and Virginia still have all the patience for newcomers. I made it clear I didn't have a lot of experience in this kind of… read more
