CURRENTLY IN MUĞLA, TURKEY.

On the lookout for our next Workaway from 24TH SEPT - 7TH OCT 🦃🇹🇷

~~As of 2025 we both have EU passports~~

We are Madeleine and Tom, a couple in our late twenties originally hailing from London. We decided to leave the city in Spring of 2024 seeking new adventures and have since confirmed our beliefs that we are happiest when surrounded by nature, being physically in touch with the outside world and spending as much free time as possible connecting to our extraordinary environment. We are also energised by sharing these new experiences with like-minded people who prefer to live simply and sustainably.

For three months last year we were living in Sopron, a beautiful medieval town on the border between Hungary and Austria. We spent our time swimming in lakes, cooking traditional Hungarian dishes, looking after Tom’s elderly grandparents, hosting friends and family, growing herbs and making jam, cycling cross-country, making music, practising yoga, drawing and painting, hiking the forest, teaching English to locals and importantly, finding time and space to breathe (and laugh!)

After our time in Central Europe we headed back to the U.K. to find work (and to secure our EU passports so we could return to the mainland...). We completed six months of winter seasonal work at a Michelin-guided Inn on the Yorkshire Moors, Northern England. We lived and worked in a deep valley surrounded by forest and farm far removed from infrastructure and convenience. We adapted quickly to our new environment and took advantage of the local pilgrim trails, foraging where we could for wild garlic and learning about the best locally sourced seasonal produce. We involved ourselves in the local community all while working full-time hospitality jobs in a remote countryside Inn.

As of Spring 2025 we have returned to Sopron, Hungary as it is now our base and have recently completed our first Workaway on an organic self-sufficient farm. We lived with a German couple who have slowly but surely created their own oasis in a small village in Western Hungary and we truly adapted to their way of life. From wood chopping, pitching hay, caring for livestock, assisting in building projects, pruning and weeding to making (delicious) food and learning about the general highs/lows of maintaining your own land. It has only further ignited our desire to keep experiencing the world and all that it has to offer, we want to learn from others and be genuinely helpful. We are looking to help with farm work, gardening and plant care, hospitality, building and maintenance, sustainable practice and caring for animals.

There is so much more to say of course but I’ll leave it here for now!

We hope we’ve said something that resonates with you,

Madeleine and Tom x

Algo más...

In London we enjoyed going to gallery openings, gigs with friends and swimming in Hampstead ponds. Now, swimming in lakes, making music, experiencing the natural world and getting to know new people from different walks of life are some of our favourite past times. That and eating large quantities of lecsó!
