Descripción
Hello! My name is Tom and I'm from Manchester UK. I love being out in nature, music, learning, doing creative projects, and reading.

At the end of April 2025 I left my job to travel & volunteer around the world, to see how other people live, and to learn about the world around me.

I'm really keen in particular to join projects that are community-based where there is opportunity to exchange with others, especially anything where I can pick up some new hands-on skills e.g. carpentry, farming, gardening. If this is out in nature, even better. I really enjoy farm work and am more than happy to lend a spare pair of hardworking hands here.

I'm easy-going, friendly, and sociable, while also appreciating my time alone to recharge. Tidy, organised, reliable, and highly respectful of others' personal space - I've lived in shared spaces for many years and know how to keep things running happily and smoothly.

Que habilidades tienes?
I worked as a volunteer in hostels in Georgia and Sri Lanka for 3 months in total, so I'd be a good addition for any housekeeping/reception work.

I've also spent about two months in total working on organic farms in Nepal and Turkiye. I'm by no means an expert, but have basic experience in planting seeds, weeding, pruning, picking veggies, replacing irrigation systems, fence building, and taking care of animals.

I taught English in a conversational language cafe in Istanbul, so language teaching/exchange is something I'm also comfortable with.

Besides this, I would really love to learn more about carpentry, gardening, and small-scale farming.

My professional background is in social sciences research, so I can also lend a hand to any boring admin work you might want to get out of the way ;)

Algo más...
I play guitar and a little bit of piano - I would really love to be hosted by other musicians :)

I'm also into hiking, swimming, baking, a good card game, going for a run, and being humiliatingly bad at chess.

Tom is such a kind and pleasant person. He consistently gave his best effort on all tasks and daily chores, and he built great relationships with the other volunteers. I'm truly glad we had the chance to meet him. Hope to see you again sometime!

My experience on the farm was so good. I stayed for a month and met many wonderful, interesting people from all over the world, especially other long-term travellers and return volunteers. There was always something fun going on in the house: board games, bbqs, move nights, language lessons, meditation, baking cakes, football matches, hikes, the… read more

Tom adapted very easy to the farm, to the animals. 10 days passed very comfortably with him . He followed the rules, was respectful and hard worker. He is very helpful, calm, punctual and responsible person. He worked hard with moving the olive branches, moving the woods and the manure and he walked with the dogs every work day. We had many… read more

I had a wonderful short but sweet stay helping out on Emine's farm for just under two weeks. The work had a nice rhythm to it with farm tasks followed by dog walks, and the days are well-structured which made it easy to slip into a routine. Communication with Emine is a breeze and I always felt clear of what was expected. I had my own private… read more

I had a beautiful three weeks with Anand and his family in this peaceful corner of crazy, beautiful Varanasi. The ashram is a great space, not just for playing music, but also as a place for comraderie, learning, and community. I was lucky to have shared my time with a group of other volunteers and musicians who quickly became family, and Anand… read more

Tom was a very nice man, and he was very friendly as a teacher and teammate. He is very knowledgeable and a true intellectual. He was never late for class, and he was really dedicated. We never had any even slightest problem with him. You are most welcome anytime you want to be in Istanbul again. Thank you, Tom

Loved it, a really unique Workaway and one of the most fulfilling culturual exchanges I've experienced. The work itself is great fun, leading group conversations with curious and engaged locals who are keen to practice their English and share their culture (and learn about yours, too!). Do not be put off if you have little/no prior teaching… read more

I spent five blissful weeks through late summer and I miss it every single day.

The work itself is exceptionally well organised: you may support with housekeeping, cooking, gardening, construction, or babysitting depending on your interests. A schedule is created each week with flexibility for your days off, and you'll work around 5 hours a day… read more

I spent three weeks volunteering at this place during July and had an absolutely fantastic time.

Rajiv is a great host - his communication before my arrival and during my stay was always clear, and you can tell that he truly cares about the experience of the volunteers and guests. He is also frustratingly good at chess!

The team on site are also… read more
