Descripción
I began Workaway/Wwoofing in April 2023 and it's been a great journey from a specialist Japanese vegetable farm in the UK (via Wwoofing website) to farms and homesteads in the UK and abroad. I'm especially keen to learn animal husbandry skills and or volunteer where there are pets from cats, dogs and rabbits to pigs that need cuddling and or walking!
I enjoy working out of doors and I like to bicycle and trek to keep fit. I can work independently as well as part of a team - the teams I've been with have been great for the stories and life-experiences as well as skill sharing.
I'm a flexible practical person who's not afraid to get dirty! I have a keen eye for detail and am eager to learn.

I've recently wwoofed on a farm in the Cotswolds supporting lambing (delightful!) and also feeding/cleaning up after cattle and horses, checking on animals and helping to move them.
As a result I'd particularly like the opportunity to develop my animal husbandry skills.
In Italy I helped with clearing out an old water cistern, gardening, cleaned and repainting the interior of their new rental house. Also me and another volunteered visited the neighbouring goat farm (cheese makers) and cleaning out the embedded straw and goat poo from the stable, so I'm happy getting dirty!
I've also worked on a variety of horticultural homesteads and gained experience in strimming, weeding, hoeing, digging, preparing the soil for planting. Sewing - for greenhouse and directly into the ground, repotting, planting. Harvesting and weighing/packing vegetables for transport.
I had a career in the NHS as a clinical photographer so can work in pressured environments and also help out with documentation/publicity photos :)
I'm a fit practical person - I enjoy walking and cycling and am keen to learn new skills.

Sasha is so great at blending in, chipping in, finding things to help out with, she is missed in my home definitely! I was so lucky to host her!
I have hosted over a hundred people and she was one of the best.
Sasha is the most interesting person because she has so many different life experiences. I didn’t get half enough time with her to hear… read more

Victoria is a very vibrant energetic person with lots of different fascinating life experiences. If you like dogs, horses and the greenest of countryside this is a great place! I was lucky to overlap with a young German woman who did alot of lunging of two of the horses and got to see how they interacted. Previously I'd only been around ponies as… read more

Thanks to Valli, Gerry and Anika for an amazing stay near Sligo – lovely colourful set-up with sculptures everywhere and a huge garden overflowing with flowers, four cats, two dogs chickens and a duck. Two cats Whiskey and Felix will join you in the caravan for a curl-up if you let them – I would happily have catnapped them forever. Work varied… read more

Sasha stayed with me (stayed at the project) for two weeks. Originally she came as a house sitter, but she really got her hands dirty. She burned the garden waste along with the other helpers (with whom she got along very well - even though one was not exactly a "traditional" workawayer), painted my door frames (even the part that I had not… read more

Laura's project is a huge building plus outbuildings and land - I admire her ambition and all the works done so far as she also has an online job. I stayed in a lovely room inside the main house, it was nippy in the evenings being January but there was a sitting room for volunteers with an effective wood burning stove. During the day I was… read more

We were glad Sasha visited us. She is friendly and respectful. She wanted to help more but this at time we had less work. She is capable and hardworking. I taught her how to make a plastic basket, she made it better than me. She helped me improving my English and taught me about some English life. Thank you very much.

Ibrahim and Umma live close to their relatives in a peaceful village surrounded by lemon groves. It was a lovely cultural experience spending time with them, meeting their extended family and seeing how they share their lives. They are very hospitable and Umma is a great cook, sometimes even cooking on the open fire outdoors to improve the… read more

It was great to have Sasha stay with us for 3 weeks. She is a great workawayer and shows initiative performing all her jobs to a high standard. She is quite independent and doesn’t need much managing. She is articulate, polite and friendly. She did so many jobs for us such as harvesting and juicing pomegranates, harvesting olives, keeping communal… read more

I spent 3 weeks in this beautiful location up in the mountains above Gocek with my own comfortable room. Deborah and Tayip are a very welcoming and easygoing couple who collaborate with their neighbours in sharing volunteers to work as mini teams on different projects. For example assisting with the construction of wooden houses, cleaning and… read more

Sasha stayed with us for about two weeks and here below are my sincerest experiences:

She is a hard working, disciplined person with a strong sense of responsibility and tidy. She is good at pruning and watering though she has a tendency to overwater; a beginner’s major & fatal mistake. She is also good and handy at fixing things around the… read more

The team are wonderful - they are creating a self-sufficient homestead away up in the woods above Sillico. Very welcoming with clear instructions they have a wide range of skills so great for learning and are part of a loose community who have moved to the area. Work varied from gardening, painting, collecting wild strawberries for drying and… read more
