Descripción
We are experienced volunteers from the UK who spent 6 months travelling and volunteering in Latin America, 3 months volunteering in Spain, 7 years living and teaching English in China and 4 years working in the sustainability sector Bristol, UK.

We’d love to help with any eco projects and meet people who share the same care for the planet and people. At age 35 we hope that between us we have some experiences that we could use to help you:

- Experience volunteering on permaculture, self-sufficiency, rooftop farming, reforestation and conservation projects, in addition to general maintenance, cooking and hospitality in Latin America, Hong Kong, Spain and the UK
- Experience of transforming our own garden to grow 50 kinds of food and make a habitat for nature
- Masters degrees in Sustainability & Adaptation
- Work experience in sustainable energy and low energy buildings
- Work experience in policy on organic and sustainable food
- Permaculture Design Certificate
- Yoga teaching

Although we enjoy all kinds of cultural exchanges with people from all over the world, we are also quiet people who like to have some time to ourselves for a part of the day too, for exercise, reading, getting lost in nature etc. :-)

We’re really looking forward to our next Workaway stay, meeting you, sharing stories and experiences and helping with your project :-)

Michael's sincerity and genuineness are truly touching. With his wealth of experience and knowledge, every corner of the meditation center bears heartwarming traces of his contributions. He used his skills and wisdom to enhance the monks' living environment, even through the simple act of recycling discarded items. This reminds us of how much the… read more

Wow, what a place, what an experience. After spending two weeks volunteering and being helped to cultivate mindfulness and meditation practice by the monks/sunims here I left feeling truly restored and so much more at peace. The environment was beautiful, the food was all local and fresh and so healthy, and the people here, both monks and… read more

We really enjoyed our stay with Pedro, Chino the cat and the chickens! We enjoyed the opportunity to start a new vegetable patch, plant lots of plants in the garden and learn some new woodworking skills. We’re also very grateful for Pedro helping us get to and from the train station regularly so we could visit Girona, Barcelona and the Costa… read more

I've been lucky to host Michael and Laura for two weeks in September 2023. They were an invaluable help in setting up a vegetable garden as well as plant numerous new plants. Their knowledge of plants and gardening has been amazing and instructing. The change in the garden has been incredible. In addition, they are cheerful and conscientious… read more

Mike and Laura stayed at our rural guest house for two weeks, and from the moment they arrived, they were incredibly friendly and polite. They were always willing to help with anything that was needed and share their experiences. Moreover, they had a bunch of interesting stories to tell and were always ready for lively conversations. It was truly… read more

We really enjoyed our stay at the guesthouse with Gemma, Quique and all the cats, chickens, alpacas and of course the wonderful Meru the dog, who joined us for several hiking excursions. The work and expectations were clearly communicated, and we enjoyed helping with breakfast for an hour or so, followed by 3 hours of maintenance work, which made… read more

We arrived at Mark and Dave’s place really tired after selling our house and giving up our careers in Bristol, and left feeling restored and rejuvenated. The food was incredible, with 80-90% of it produced organically onsite. We enjoyed sharing our cooking with these fresh ingredients, and also eating the delicious meals that Mark cooked as a… read more

I really enjoyed my stay with Chris and Erica, their achievements in going off-grid, the way they’ve built a beautiful low energy home and producing the majority of their own food are incredible. My room stayed at a cool ~21 degrees on the day when temperature records were smashed in the UK - they clearly know what they are doing with… read more
