Ma prochaine destination :
Bangkok, Thailand - du Mar 2024 au Avr 2024 Voir tout
Description
My name is Jeff, I'm from England and I have been travelling most of my life. I am not much of a tourist so I prefer to volunteer or work while I am travelling so I have the opportunity to do things and meet people that I wouldn't otherwise.
*I am currently planning a trip from early December 2023 - April 2024.
I will probably fly to Bangkok for a week and then to Tokyo for 3 months before returning to Bangkok for 1 month.
Possible destinations in Japan: Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Okayama and some smaller places in between.
So, I am open to Workaways in those areas.*
I have spent time in NYC, lived in Tokyo for a year, worked managing a hostel in Bangkok, volunteered in hostels in many different countries, taught English in Brazil and spent a lot of time in Prague.
I am a hard worker with a good work ethic and willing to do whatever is needed. These days I am more interested in helping out with some construction projects or gardening and learning some new things.
I have used Helpx and Workaway to volunteer in many different countries. I have volunteered on farms in Japan, hostels in Thailand and all around the Balkans, helped build a mud house / kindergarten in Ukraine, fixing things around the home in NYC and even volunteered in a cinema in Cambodia.
I am a smoker but of course I am fine smoking outside away from the non smokers! I am not fussy with food. I can cook. I am good with computers and these days I have been fixing iPhones. I have managed a backpackers hostel 3 times in a row for 6 months a time so I have all the skills needed for all aspects of hostel work. I am good with manual work too so I can do pretty much anything I'm needed to and I am a fast learner.
I am a big music fan, all different types of music, and very into films and reading. I like to go out for a drink and have fun!

I had a really good experience at Brian's family's guesthouse. I wanted somewhere beautiful, remote and quiet to relax and read in my free time for the last few weeks of my trip. Their place definitely ticks all those boxes.

Jeff is a hardworking, practical and capable worker. He is a calm, quiet person and consequently an easy person to have staying in our house. He was good with the animals and any practical tasks we gave him.

I stayed for just a week with Cagdas and Yigit. The work was so little that it felt like I was just staying with friends. You just need to help keep the apartment clean, feed the cats and maybe cook sometimes.

We love Jeff :)
We had Jeff for 2 weeks working in the hostel and he fitted in straight away. He is responsible and able to learn everything very fast and he is also good with the guests, taking them out with him in the evenings. We would have him back any time and recommend him to any other hosts as a great worker.
