Descripción
Hi! I'm a 35-year-old Londoner, writer (fiction, travel, poetry), teacher (english/english literature/philosopher) and photographer with wide-ranging workaway experience in Slovakia, Poland and Czech Republic, connected to permaculture, beekeeping, garden cleaning, and basic manual labour, all of which I enjoyed very much. I like to think I'm extremely adaptable and will try (hard) anything, as well as being very eager to learn both new skills and knowledge. Having said that, my base of knowledge is still relatively low; my 'normal life' has been incredibly non-hands-on (I've always lived in rented city rooms so I've never really had much exposure to decorating/design) so I'm primarily bringing a good work ethic, enthusiasm and a desire to learn rather than a wealth of knowledge. I'm particularly keen to do more outdoor/ gardening work and I have some basic knowledge of gardens and how gardens work (e.g., what is a weed, what is not a weed, various garden tools) as well as some basic knowledge of permaculture principles. I'm physically fit, and enjoy the physical aspect of work, especially as it's not something I have much opportunity for while working as a teacher. More generally, I am mature, sociabale, well-mannered, clean and responsible and keen also to have, at least to some extent, my own time and space. I am also an active (and passive) nature lover and enjoy the quiet and solitude of all kinds of landscape. Above all, I am eager to help out and meet new friends across the world; developing long lasting workaway-based friendships has been a greatly rewarding part of my life.

Thierry is an exceptional host; he places trust in his workawayers, so I felt a sense of contributing personally to the project, but at the same time I learned a lot from him. The house itself is a work of art, full of memory and surprise. Thierry is a great conversationalist with a wonderful sense of humour and an impressive approach to life; the… read more

Jiahi and Hugh spent 10 days at my place and it was a great pleasure for me. Everything went very smoothly. Jiahi and Hugh are so kind and helpful. The conversations were so interesting. The work was a bit monotonous (plastering the walls) but they did it with great willingness. I really appreciated their presence.

Hugh got really fast how it works here and was a big help for us from the beginning. He was really hard working and supportive for us. He helped us mainly doing garden work and gras work. He also helped us hosting a party, where he showed lots of personal initiative. While talking with him we could both improve our English and also learned a lot… read more

I had a great time at Carol's place in Cherven. The food was astonishingly good - I have never had anything like it. The work was interesting and varied, and Carol is a generous, welcoming host, whose instructions were always carefully thought out and practical. I learned a lot about working the land in a pragmatic and effective way. The beautiful… read more

Hugh was a very easy person to have around. He helped me loads in the garden preparing ground, planting potatoes and harvesting some alfalfa for the rabbits. Genuinely nice guy all round who was willing to try thing he hadn't done before and quickly got the hang of how to do new things

I had an excellent short stay at Lazar's place. The work was interesting, varied and entirely stressfree; there is a lovely yard full of interesting ornithological events, and there was a very good library of English books in my room. Lazar was a great host and a great cook; I'd be glad to return in the future.

Hugh stayed at our place for five days and it was a pleasure having him here. He was a friendly, unassuming presence, a great company for interesting conversations, and a hard worker. All in all a very positive experience.

Hugh stayed with us for two weeks initially. We all got on so well that he came back again for another two week visit! Although he didn’t know much about working in the garden he was quick to learn and very willing and efficient, tackling heavy jobs such as digging and removing fence posts, with ease. On his first visit he planted potatoes and had… read more

I had a fantastic time staying with Frances and Dima in April and May. I stayed for about 4 weeks, with some breaks for travel and work. Frances and Dima are considerate, friendly, flexible, and extremely welcoming hosts. They are both excellent cooks and excellent raconteurs; it is a house of laughter and warmth. I valued spending time in a… read more
