Description
My name is Darren, over the past 5 years and 50 odd countries I have been acquiring skills, building knowledge whilst also sharing cultures and making a positive impact on the people and families that have hosted me.

Over the next decade I plan to expand on this by exploring more countries, absorbing more knowledge and culture whilst constantly striving to have a bigger and more positive impact on the planet, nature and people. In order to do this I want to follow my passions for sustainability and for coaching/ mentoring. So I will be doing a number of Sustainable projects through Work-away each year, and taking the necessary qualifications.

I thrive off adventures and consistently push my comfort zone daily, I have a passion for adventure sports such as climbing, long hikes, archery...

I try to lead a healthy lifestyle and focus my diet around plant based whole foods (vegan), with the occasional fast food/ comfort food.

I'm able to manage building projects with helping with children/family jobs, being the oldest sibling and helping to raise my brothers and sisters and also baby sitting certainly helped.

Laissé par l'hôte (Discover the countryside in ...) pour le workawayer (Darren)

It was very good having Darren at our place.
Besides performing daily tasks both in the house and with our animals, he participated in various building projects. We did concrete work on our rainwater cistern, woodworking on our star trailer, sewage pipe digging and many other tasks, which he enthusiastically jumped onto.
I can clearly recommend… read more

I absolutely loved my 6 weeks volunteering for Henning,

Henning is highly intelligent, funny and all round nice guy. His projects are always interesting during my stay we fixed 4 water storage tanks, built a stargazing trailer, fixed some sewage pipes and some smaller tasks. Its not all work and no play though, in the evenings we would cook some… read more

During his stay, Darren was keen to help out in any way he could. He was happy to put in the effort over and above what was expected of him and was always looking for another task that he could help out with. Darren was a part of the team who worked on our geodome. We are very excited to have this project complete!

I really enjoyed taking part in this project, what Pablo, Helen and the team are building here is inspiring and enjoyable.

I assigted with the dome building project over the last month and had the best time.

Just want to say a huge thank you to Pablo, Helen, the team and the other workaways.

It's been a pleasure to have Darren with us for the last few weeks. He's got stuck in to a wide variety of tasks helping out on our off-grid smallholding, from weeding and digging to lime plastering and even drawing Tyrannosauruses :) All with great enthusiasm and a willingness to learn new skills. He fitted straight into our family routine and… read more

I have just finished my month long stay with Chris, Erica and the children.

I can not thank them enough for everything they did during my short visit. I turned up with a stomach infection and they were super patient whilst I sorted out my health. Firstly by running me to the local doctors several times and with the endless amounts of healthy and… read more

Darren is everything you can ask for in a helper; polite, punctual, capable, dependable, interesting, and easy to get on with! Darren slotted into our family's web and flow with ease and related well to each family member. He mastered unfamiliar machinery quickly and was able to carry out tasks with minimal instruction and virtually no… read more

I have just left this workaway after spending one month in the company of Kellie and her family.

From the moment I arrived at Croydon station I knew this was going to work out.

The family are very hospitable, fun and very intelligent so be prepared for some interesting and in depth conversations whilst tucking in to the evening meal prepared by… read more

So good we couldn't let him leave.

Darren helped us for three months last Autumn and it was a pleasure to have him around. He came with a few skills but that didn't deter him or us, his can do attitude meant he left with so many more skills and he helped us with so so many projects in our time together it is hard to list them all. No job to big… read more

Darren has just left us after about 6 weeks helping our family while we build our house in Slovenia. Darren is really enthusiastic, eager to please, and not afraid of working long hours which was good as with 4 children there is always something to do around here! He was really keen to help out as much as possible with labouring and pick up new… read more

Darren stayed with us this April, for one month. He helped us around our hostel in Bucharest, being in charge mainly with cleaning and housekeeping activities.
Darren is a great person, very hard working and reliable. He was of real help, in a very busy period for us, and we appreciate his flexibility. Thank you, Darren for all your help, it was… read more
