Description

I am a mature experienced man travelling in Europe. I enjoy hiking and surfing, and just doing my own thing while house sitting with Trustedhousesitters.com and meeting lovely people and great projects via workaway. I am a very practical person coming from a farming background and have looked after and worked with a large variety of animals. I enjoy helping with creating, building, fixing, caring and maintaining construction or farming projects. I have qualifications and experience with permaculture and organic farming and enjoy being in the countryside and learning the local language and culture. I have done a number of construction and renovation projects on farms and houses. Previously I have been a high school Maths teacher. I am looking to contribute my skills and learn new ones as I continue travelling and experience meeting wonderful people and places.

Laissé par l'hôte (Help us with rainforest ...) pour le workawayer ()

Michael stayed with us for two weeks and in that time completed more than we imagined any one could. Working with us, he plumbed a hot water system, basin, sink and compost toilet for our cabin. He worked steadily on the project, thinking and talking through the best way to approach it, in such a way that John understands how it is laid out and … read more

Working with John, playing Scrabble with Sandra, having chats with Xavier and scratching Xero was like being in a large family and was really pleasant. A beautiful place with plenty of opportunity to find work with John or Sandra depending on what you can do. I helped John with his cabin; composting toilet, water plumbing, solar and enjoyed other … read more

I spent 2 weeks here in Ocean Shores, a suburban home on a large slopping block. Close to beach and shopping centre. I undertook painting, plaster patch work, electrical, shelving, retaining wall, and other handy man things. I enjoyed my stay here and Yoko was super friendly, communicative and helpful, very keen and happy to get some of the handy … read more

Working here at Michael and Silvanas place was great. I undertook some carpentry, painting, metal window work and installed a dishwasher. They have plenty to do and are eager to get anything you need and prepare meals to suit you. I slept in my van, but mainly stayed in their house as the company was interesting and the wifi was best there. … read more

Laissé par l'hôte (Permaculture orchard, ...) pour le workawayer

Michael has been a very good help to us. He came during a busy season in the orchard and in the reconstructed tavern. He is eager to work and it was pleasure to have him here. He is working independently or in team, both goes him very well. It's really nice to talk to him. I admire his life style.

I spent a week here in August 2020. It was a good experience of country Slovakia. The farm orchard was beautiful with typical farm work; firewood, collecting hay, strimming, etc.. Accommodation was really good in the farm house, no internet though. The hosts, with lots of ideas, are very busy people as they also run a restaurant/accommodation … read more

I was here for 10 days in July 2020. A great experience, Majda is very knowledgeable of the local area, history and customs, she is very easy to talk to and will go out of her way to make you comfortable and prepares you wonderful meals. It is a very typical country farm on steep hills, so be prepared to walk uphill. There is a lot of work to be … read more

This was a difficult project for me. The hosts Kailash and Luka were disorganised and unprepared for a Workawayer. There was no bedding, internet, tools or safety equipment for the work. The hosts wanted to work from 1 or 2pm in the afternoons onwards which did not suit me, and could not organise me earlier for unknown reasons. The Castle is … read more

I spent just 1 week with Anina and her horses, and appreciate her picking me up. It is a lovely Cortijo with all the facilities you need. I helped with making a pathway, levelling new sand in horse arena and generally helping out wherever. It is a great area to explore and local towns are close by. Anina is a wonderful lady who provided all … read more

My Workaway experience with Julien and Inma was one of the highlights of my trip to Andalucia, Spain. A lovely couple, open to suggestions and ideas and full of love and fun. We all worked hard and that made the experience even better. They wanted to learn and understand and got involved in everything. The hospitality was first class; cooking by … read more

Mickael came to see us for 2 weeks, during which we worked to restore the water basin of the house. The basin is 192,000 liters, we had to work with 700 kg of cement. In addition to his precious knowledge in mathematics (he is a mathematics teacher), Michael is also a hard worker and perfectionist. He was the driving force during the … read more

I stayed with Hanne for one month, where there was a lot of preparation for the season. Strimming, planting, watering, construction, rendering, irrigating and set-up. Even under the lockdown there was plenty to do and I got to apply a lot of my skills. Hanne is very friendly and eager to please in cooking, work tasks and communication. It was … read more
