Descripción
Hello! I am Tom.
Two years ago I started my extended journey. I have been to several countries, mainly in Europe and southern Africa.
Staying in hostels most of my time on this journey, I have met quite a few people who mentioned workaway.info and telling me about their lovely experiences. Meanwhile I was allowed to experience what it is like to be a workawayer myself. I always appreciated doing and seeing different things in my life. So with this opportunity of joining in with workaway I was able to explore what it is like to help out in a hostel, with dogs or with the bees. Not to mention to have a crash course in the languages like Serbian for instance or being able to brush up my Frensh a little bit.
Going back in time; after my apprenticeship for a local bank in Lucerne I have been working mostly for the bank thereafter. Every now and then I would pack my bag and visit other countries for a few months. Before getting back into the officeworld, once I would return back home to Lucerne after those travels, there were occasions, where I was helping out at a guesthouse, in restaurants, in bars, delivering meals, chauffering people, working in gardens or shifting and preparing goods in storehouses.
Once settled I would rent a room, where I would do woodwork (any kind of items such as sideboards, tables, decorations, etc.) and art (such as painting and sculpting with wood) in my private time.
Having my private moments from time to time is very important for me as much as it is to meet new people, have inspiring discussions and share nice moments with them.
I am happy to do nearly any work. Let me know what you want and how you want things to be done and I shall give my very best with all my passion and enthusiasm.
I hope to have given you an idea of myself.
I am very much looking forward to new challenges! Many thanks in advance for allowing them to happen and come true!Intereses

Due to the season I did not do a lot of the 'typical' work a beekeeper does; I obviously was aware of that. Due to the one or the other warm day we had though, which made the bees getting active, we did visit some beehives… read more
There were so many interessting jobs to do not only taking care of the dogs but doing all sorts of adventures things in and around the place.
Beautiful views on to the coastline and the sundowns are just spectacular from here. The room(s) I have stayed… read more
Thankyou for all you did and thankyou for staying longer to help me get thru a difficult time. You are a true gentleman.
I wish you well in your future travels.
Hosts if you are lucky enough to have Tom write to you don't hesitate he is a really super volunteer and a great team player.

We have never met someone like him before. Such a great person in every possible way.
As it goes for the work, he was great also. Dedicated, professional, eager to learn, paid attention to details and so on.
Every recommendation for future hosts for this amazing guy.

Jelena & Ivan where at all times during my stay wonderful to me, same as for their two assisitants, Ana & Jovana! I felt myself truly welcome and at home!
The hostel itself has many fine details; one does feel the passion that has been put into this place.
Helping out here was great fun! I… read more
