Description
Hi everyone!
After two long years away I am back to the Workaway world and ready for new adventures!
I'm a 29 year old former engineer/technician from England, with a passion for travelling, reading, hiking and exercise.
Until Covid ground everything to a halt, my travelling adventures lasted more than 6 years, taking me to many different countries and cultures, learning new skills every day.
Destinations and experiences so far include:
- UK (Engineer, TV Producer, Landscape Gardener)
- Spain (Au Pair)
- Italy (Au Pair)
- U.S.A (Insurance and construction)
- Iceland (Agriculture - Sheep farm)
- Germany ('Facility Manager' of a Shaolin Monastery)
- Malaysia ('Coordinator' of a bamboo resort)
- Norway (Staff manager of a yoga retreat center)
- Hungary (Vineyard assistant)
- Bulgaria (Gardening and construction)
- Brunei (Technician/bridge construction)
- Greece (Handyman)
- Tanzania (Photography & social media manager)
Main strengths lay in outdoors work - with several years experience as a landscape gardener - and guest facing roles, with several years of experience leading teams in many different environments.
Open to moving to anywhere, as long as there is a friendly environment.
Very eager to learn new cultures, languages and see the world!
Currently in England, looking to hit the road again soon (January 2023).

What to say! Ryan was simply awesome! I was lucky to have Ryan volunteer here for six weeks and in that time he completed an amazing amount or work. He was courteous, polite but with a cheeky sense of humour :) He worked well independently, taking on tasks with little or no supervision. When he finished something early, he would always ask what… read more
