Descripción
Hola mis amigos!

I’m Tom, 26 years old from Manchester, England.
2020 is a thing of the past, and THIS year I’m excited to live, travel and work in Chile!

Why Chile? Well, I could write a list of 100 reasons , but in short; I’m a photographer, nature lover, and keen adventurer at heart! For many years I’ve considered moving to Chile, so my goal for 2021 is to get stuck in; explore the amazing country, live and work with local people, hablar español con fluidez, and perhaps discover a special place to call my new home :)

I may be well travelled (and have lived in every continent), but for me - Chile and South America is the future!

I love photography & design, and any activities in nature - hiking, cycling, kayaking, skiing and of course... football!

Tom is our sunny boy, really fantastic. Always in a good mood we laughed all the time with him.
Also a really hard worker he finished on his own the roof of a wooden terraze and impressed our workers because of his fast work to dick a canal. He is active, full of ideas and initiative, independent, super responsable and honest, always helping in… read more

WOW! What can I say about Rita and my time here?!
I had an incredible week with Rita (and 2 other volunteers) in her lovely home with her 5 dogs set in the mountains near Bogota. Rita is a great host, full of knowlesge and wisdom, and a damn-fine cook! The food here is of 5-star restaurant quality (Thanks Rita! ;) ). The project is also amazing… read more

It's impossible not to love Tom from the very moment you meet him. He is nice, cheerful, affectionate, funny and very hardworking. Tom is full of ideas which he turns into reality with love and diligence not only with the help of other volunteers (such an easy going person he is that everybody loves him), but by himself. He spent with us only a… read more

WOW! What can I say about this place?!
I had an incredible week with Marlyn and Ricardo (and several other volunteers from around the world...) in the MOST AMAZING farm in Colombia. The farm is beautiful (as are the 4 dogs), and the food is beyond any restaurant I've ever eaten in! ;) They are the kindest people and best hosts I've had, and just… read more

What can I say about this place?!
WHAT A PLACE. I spent 2 weeks here and returned 2 or 3 times more, but it wasn´t enough... I should have stayed a month or more, I felt at home as soon as i arrived and was welcomed by the kindest hosts, Hanna and Octavio! Their mountain-side home is beautiful, set in the jungle overlooking tayrona, and I feel… read more

What an incredible experience. I have no regrets coming to this amazing place. I highly recommend you grab this opportunity with both hands, and if your are a tourist you have to visit. I have many awesome memories and photographs from this jungle paradise, and I wrote several blogs of my time here. Below is a blog I wrote (after just 5 days here)… read more about the setting, to give you an idea of what the lodge is like...

La naturaleza vive aqui, or 'Nature Lives here' is the moto for this place. The phrase is painted in 21 different languages at the entrance to the lodge, and rightly so. The Orinoco is a wild jungle; a vast network of waterways teaming with wildlife. In the skies I've seen Macaws, Toucan, Eagles, hummingbirds and in the trees howler monkeys, capuchins, and tropical birds. I've seen giant lizards, toads the size of your hand, butterflies bigger than birds and a variety of bizarre insects. The fauna is equally impressive with towering palms, banana trees, many colourful flowers, and in the water are plentiful fish, piranha, crab, otter and river dolphin, all of which I have seen. I really am in the wild, and the sounds of the jungle remind me so; by day the incredible and diverse chorus of tropical birds, by night the constant chatter of a million cricket-like insects. Although very much loud and alive, this riverside paradise is the definition of tranquility.

Upon arriving at the 'lodge' I was very impressed, not only by the beauty, but the size of this place. There is an enormous open central lodge looking over the river with decking above the water. Pathways extend from both sides giving access to the 40+ guest-cabins and other lodges that all face the river. Everything has been built by hand mostly with wood from the jungle, bamboo interiors, palms for roofing, and all surrounded by tall trees, thick vegetation, and swamp. The lodge layout is perfect; a well-established and harmonious part of the jungle.

The transformation of the delta at dawn is incredible. I've woken up before sunrise a few times already to sit out on the river and absorb the tranquility. Before sunrise, the insects quieten, and the birds are still silent. The undisturbed water is smooth like silk, a mirror for the sky, and it is the only time when all is calm. The sky warms through shades of pink and orange, high wispy clouds become colourful, and the scene is reflected perfectly by the water. It gets brighter, the sun is risen, but it takes 30 minutes to appear above the high jungle canopy on the other side of the river. When it does, the lodge and jungle burst into flames of colour and character, and the orchestra of a million tropical birds fill your ears. A breeze picks up, the water is now rippled as if flowing, and the sounds and sights of the delta are transformed.

The transformation of day to night is not as spectacular, but nevertheless, there's something special about dusk. As it darkens, the oil lamps lit, and the lodge lights switched on, there is a calmness again about the jungle. The water becomes still once more, and reflects what little light is left in the sky, as the army of relentless mosquitos emerge after dusk. On one occasion I witnessed a bright full moon rise above the palm trees just after sunset. However when it's dark and clear, the night sky is spectacular. This place is remote, so the milky way shines brightly alongside the earie noise of chirping insects. I'm in jungle paradise....

Thank you Anthony for the fantastic opportunity, and best of luck with everything in the future! Tom
