Descripción
Hi my name is Jake & I’m 37 from the UK. I am looking for a career break and a potential new career a I’ve come to a stand still within my job in the UK. I have had many years experience of hospitality in a managerial position & have recently lived in Europe and have had a couple of years experience in general building timber frame houses. I am a fit and healthy person who always strives to do the best possible & i am motivated by meeting new people and sharing different life experiences. I have a real positive attitude towards everything that I do in life, I have had some set backs along the way but I've become a much more resilient and well rounded individual as a result. I feel I can bring energy and enthusiasm to any situation that is given to me, ohh and I can cook up a pretty mean spinach pie.

A beautiful experience with Marie,Graeme & Alfie! I contacted Marie a day before I arrived in Hervey bay & she said I can come as soon as id like, this was so much appreciated, such an incredible gesture to host me at such short notice. Marie had contacted me a couple of months earlier when I was in Sydney , ensuring about my whereabouts and if… read more

WOW, WOW, WOW .....
Never has a guest left his/her room so tidy every day !!!! Bed made every day, pillows all perfectly placed and never anything on the floor ...... Now, this does not mean that I opened his bedroom door every day, but his bedroom door was left open every day, as was every door in the house, yes even my and Graeme's bedrooms.
We… read more

Jake stayed with me for a couple of weeks and was a really excellent guest. Jake was so helpful and a self starter who always found something useful to do in addition to the specific jobs I asked of him. Jake did lots of painting around the home and did a really great job. Very professional! Jake kept his room very clean and tidy and was also a… read more

To prospective hosts Jake came to me for 10 days and stayed for 35 there was no need for him to leave I just encouraged him to go on with his adventures and maximise further experiences whilst in Australia. I was very sad to see him go, rarely do you get a workaway Who can handle so many tasks. Jake has built his own house and had extensive and… read more

AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!! I have had a few days now since leaving this beautiful home to try to accurately put together some words to describe my time here, I don't think anything I can say would do any justice for it. After a long flight from the UK, I was greeted by Irene with the warmest embrace that I couldn't ever have imagined, I knew… read more straight from the off I was staying with such a kind & accommodating person. The location, amazing......just a short skip & a jump to the nearest train station & less than 20 minutes into Melbourne's CBD. The tasks given to me were varied & very fair & I did them to the best of my ability, I even mastered a spinach pie & scalloped potatoes, with the help of Irene's extensive cooking skills & knowledge. I met so many beautiful & friendly people along the way too, her mother (Mary) who will always have a special place in my heart, was always so kind & accommodating towards me, it was a honour to be in her company. Her daughters are an absolute testament to there mother too, such vibrant,warm & Inclusive people (yes even you Ophelia). There partner's too, great, great guys who I clicked with straight away. Irene gave me so much and I can only wish I gave back what she bestowed upon me,her knowledge of everything Melbourne and Australia is really exceptional & she would make a brilliant tour guide. I enjoyed weekends away down at dromana at her parents beach house, literally a stone's throw from the beach, now one of my favourite places in the world, I visited winerys and beautiful local produce markets too. I got to do & experience things that I could never have imagined when I stepped off the plane almost 6 weeks ago. If you love cycling then Irene is the perfect host, I will miss those weekends when we would take the bikes onto the train & into the city & cycle for miles & enjoy coffee & cake along the way. Like I said, I really cannot put into words now much I loved being here, I stayed for 5 weeks when I originally planned for 10 days & I could have stayed for much longer but I wanted to experience something else in my time in the country. Also, Orlando the cat is such a great personality......a real character that adds warmth & smile to the household. **** Summary**** If you come across this host, it's an absolute no brainer, if you are lucky enough to stay here for however long amount of time then please do it!!!! You will not be dissapointed. I truly felt I was a part of this family while I was here & I'm sure any future lucky guest will also feel the exact same. I really do hope to come back here before my time is up in Australia to see everyone again. Irene,this is not a goodbye, it's simple a I'll see you again. Take care, love to the family always. Jake

Jake stayed with me for about 10 days and did a ton of great work for me in that time. He was super easy to get along with, awesome at cleaning up and generally finding something helpful to do, and also worked really hard on the jobs I gave him in the garden.

I can't recommend Jake highly enough as a workaway guest. Sorry I wasn't around so much… read more
