***Update January 2024***
I am looking for an animal and vegetable farm where I can stay longterm. I would like the farm to be in the North West of Spain somewhere between Aragon and Galicia.


After spending 18 years of my life feeling trapped in the capitalist system, driving to work in rush hour traffic, paying taxes and bills, I felt that I needed a big change in order to find happiness.
3.5 years ago in July of 2020 at the age of 34, I quit my job as a carpenter and I started volunteering at farms across Spain and England.
The modern day way of producing food is very toxic and practically everything which isn't organic is sprayed with poisonous glyphosate and other nasty chemicals.
Eating healthy and nutritious food is very important to me and this is one of the reasons why I have moved into the world of organic farming.
It is now 2024 and I am still volunteering at farms, I have developed a real passion for nature, vegetable growing, self sufficiency and farm life. I cannot imagine doing anything else. This is my new life-long career choice.

I am in great health and have no allergies or illnesses. I am strong and enjoy physical work.
I would describe my personality as a relaxed, easy going guy who enjoys working outdoors.
I build good relationships with like-minded people who love countryside life.

I have experience with building, carpentry, electrics, brick and stone work, concrete work, window and door installation, chicken care, vegetable farming, compost, permaculture and mushroom cultivation.

For the last 2 years I have been using the website called WWOOF to find farm work, this is why I haven't received any Workaway reviews since 2021.

I said NO to the covid vaccine, I hope this doesn't affect your decision to host me.

Thank you.
