Descripción
Hi, I am 63 years old and a cabinet maker by trade. I have travelled pretty widely but not really since lockdown. I have done several workaways, Portugal, Switzerland, El Hierro, France. I enjoy writing, fixing things, sailing, hiking and am considering coming back to the beautiful island of El Hierro which I have visited 7 or 8 times since the late 1990's. I would like to get a book written whilst I am there.
18.12.2025 I am now in Roscoff and doing some research and writing.

Simon is reliable, proactive, and easy to work with, and he showed a genuine interest in understanding the project as a whole rather than just focusing on individual tasks. His ability to combine practical skills with reflection and problem-solving was particularly valuable.

Simon stayed with us for two weeks in May 2025, and we had a truly positive experience hosting him. He is a highly skilled carpenter and demonstrated excellent abilities in manual work. During his stay, he built a shelf in our shelter, cleaned and sanded our pergola, walked our dog, and helped with weeding—all done with great care and… read more

(Help our family on the island ...)
Lovely people and a great studio to stay in. Francisco and Tere were a delight to be around. They are busy working people but they always had time for my questions or just to say hello. It was a magical three week stay with them. Thank you to you both.

(Fun tiny house projects in ...)
Spent three months with Bess and Karl, including I think about 10 volunteers throughout this time. It was magical, and just what I needed. Everybody got on, the food was excellent, the work was interesting. Plenty of walks available and a beautiful river just a couple of minutes over the fields. Bess and Karl were always very attentive to their… read more

(Help pick seaberries and stay ...)
A lot of work, in that you are using secateurs all day long! I found it much easier when I used the tools efficiently and used loppers when the branches were too thick! It was a very interesting experience and I would definitely do it again. Plenty of time to think as you work your way down the rows of bushes. Hats off to Seth for his venture. I… read more

Simon came along to help us with our harvest. He was fairly local to us, so travelled each day. He is punctual, a keen and conscientious worker and a very interesting person to work alongside. Highly recommended.

Stayed just over a month with Rick, Sanne, children, animals and volunteers. Great experience. Lovely setting, interesting work, very well looked after by hosts who appreciated all the work the volunteers did. Thanks everybody. See you again!
