Description

Hey there! Thank you for clicking on my page!

NOTE: this year I will be travelling and looking for volunteer opportunities together with my dear partner, Bella, whose account is already linked to mine :)

My name is Rich, I come from the UK/Denmark, I have lived in six different countries (Denmark, UK, Czechia, Germany, Taiwan, Austria) and am looking for an exciting workaway project I can join this year!

A few quick points about me: I studied and worked in architecture during my 20s, taking interest in natural materials like clay and bamboo. I also love learning new languages and can speak English, German, Danish and some Chinese. A few years ago, I switched from architecture to teaching English and German, and it has been a career move which I have entirely loved, and haven't regretted for a moment! I currently teach at at a university in Vienna and tutor kids privately as well.

In my spare time, I also love making documentary films, having so far made videos for an orphanage in Thailand, an Austrian sustainable construction NGO, a buddhist learning centre in Taipei and a Taiwanese aboriginal music group. I have also run filmmaking and drone flying workshops for kids in the last few years since starting.

Overall, I think my friends would describe me as a very social, curious, easy-going, empathetic and positive person who's always up for getting involved in a new experience and meeting all types of different people :)

Thanks for reading!

We were very happy to welcome Richard to our team, he got along really well with everyone and was very helpful in many areas of help during his stay, including garden help, cutting grass, organising cleaning in the center and many other areas. We would welcome him back anytime.

Thank you for all your help!

From all the positive reviews this place has on here, I dont think they are in need of more, but I want to write one anyway! I spent two and a half weeks there and it was an amazing experience. Firstly, it is easy to see that they are very experienced with workawayers, as the structure and tasks of the days are very clear and reasonable (no over … read more

Rich stayed with us around three weeks and supported us with such dedication and openness, that even after months we still miss and remember his remarkable example very fondly. Rich has a sweet and charming way about him that makes him very appealing and adorable, but at the same time, no matter the task, Rich will complete it in a determined and … read more

Rich is our favorite Workawayer. He is kind, easy to get along with and has sensitivity in terms of other's needs. For example if he sees me struggling with my baby due to multi-tasking, he would immediately offer help to hold my baby even without me asking so that's how you know he is a reliable and a big help workawayer. Aside from the idea of … read more

I spent three weeks with David and Lany and the experience was truly amazing. David and Lany are so easy to get along with, to spend time together and the local area is very beautiful. I can 100% recommend this workaway if you are interested in permaculture, natural construction, learning about the local culture and are comfortable to live in a … read more

I would like to give my strongest recommendation to Rich, an exceptionally proactive and dedicated Workawayer. While he not only produced a superb short film for us, but, through an engaging talk, also revealed himself as a gifted architect whose initiative and leadership have brought to life one project after another—each a testament to … read more

I stayed for a short time in 2024 and it was amazing! David and the rest of the team were all so kind and open from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. They gave me such trust in the work they tasked me with and also offered great flexibility in terms of my working hours, which, as I was also teaching online everyday at the time, was … read more

Well, what can i say...
I spent 2 months this summer, and it was incredible! Such a beautiful camp site, such beautiful people, and with the camp being surrounded by forests and fjords, there was so many opportunities to explore the natural beauty of Norway - without spending a penny!

All the staff and regulars at the camp were nothing but … read more
