Description

I am a mature, 66 years, ex finance professional. For the past fifteen years I have traveled around pursuing my love of land and woodland maintenance, gardening, windsurfing and surfing. All things sustainable and environmental. I wish to learn good practice for good stewardship of all lands. I have undertaken extreme cycle journeys and managed a safari lodge in Uganda for 30 months. I am keen to expand my knowledge and experiences.

Legend.

An unbelievable workhorse. If you have hard labor that needs doing, Paul's your guy.
He has other skills, but he seems happiest if you just point him towards a big mess (big piles of mud or wood or trash) and let him go at it.

Also, he's a fantastic guy with a big heart, but perhaps not the quietest voice!
Ha ha ha, we love Paul and … read more

I had a fantastic four weeks with Anita in Zanzibar. I was made very welcome, the work while I was there mainly land based labouring but nothing particularly heavy. The accommodation and nourishment were basic yet practical and Anita was always excellent and interesting company.

I was given access to a bicycle which provided the opportunity to … read more

I arrived at the farm in early January 2023 and spent six wonderful weeks there.
Firstly, it is super convenient for anybody arriving in Nairobi being about 45 minutes south from the centre of the city.
I was warmly greeted by the local team and immediately made to feel welcome. The activities are as described on this site, the property is well … read more

I have just concluded seven wonderful weeks in the wilds of Selangor. It has not been a typical Workaway, it has been a meaningful life experience.
Firstly, indulge me, please read the comments from Petr and Tereza, below. They perfectly describe the tone of this Workaway.
The Workaway is led by Kuma; you will spend time either with him and/or … read more

Paul reached us here in Niigata by riding his bike non-stop from Kyushu, and he applied similar energy and enthusiasm to his work and life during the month he stayed with us. Other than working hard on routine tasks, he looked for personal projects to make a difference to the farm, and contributed his ideas, skills, and suggestions. He is … read more

I spent a very enjoyable month in the hills near Itoigawa. The farm is tucked away up an imposing valley with spectacular views of mountains and paddies. Matt and Tal, the hosts, are fascinating and committed people, they have undertaken an ambitious project, are knowledgable and very good company.
This is a ‘working’ smallholding, the tasks … read more

The location in Tochigi is good too, lots of countryside, shops, tourist sites. The work required was brilliant, plenty to keep busy with.
This is a fabulous workaway, the … read more

Paul was the perfect volunteer. He truly went above and beyond during his (much extended!) time with us. He was reliable, hard working and friendly. He has a positive attitude and I really cannot say enough nice things about him. I can thoroughly recommend him to other hosts/projects and he is welcome back anytime.

I had a fantastic time in Itoshima back in February with David and the crew at the time. The location is beautiful and the work is extremely varied. David is a brilliant host and foreman, he keeps everybody busy and interested at the level of their abilities. He varies the work from day to day, hour to hour. He is enthusiastic and laid back at the … read more

This was my Coronavirus hideaway and I stayed for five months. The most amazing five months, the place just rhymes.
It has been a great privilege to share a house with the host family, Todd, Kaori and Hannah and to blend in with their real lives! They are amazing engaging people and have made the whole experience so much fun.The accommodation is … read more
