Description
Hi there, my name's Alan. I'm a French-English traveller and amateur linguist looking to travel and work to learn new skills, practice languages and explore cultures.

I'm currently on my 11th WorkAway and counting. As far as skills are concerned, I've worked in lemon groves, olive gardens, a ginseng plantation, a hostel and a restaurant kitchen, helped build an outbuilding, trimmed tree branches, and shifted and stacked lumber. I have previous experience tutoring English and German. I'm happy with any kind of work and will always do it to the best of my abilities. As a person I'm very easy going and I'm sure I can get on with just about anyone, anywhere!

Ciao GIGANTE buono
è bello leggere le tue parole anche per me trovare un attimo non è facile come hai ben visto .
Grazie per il tuo aiuto e per i complimenti sulla cucina che è un vero piacere trovare chi l apprezza , siamo stati concentrati su lavori necessari per la stagione come la preparazione del orto e sono soddisfatta del risultato si… read more

It's taken me a few weeks to get around to writing my feedback, but I'm glad I've found the time to do it eventually.

All in all I had a lovely time at Manuela and Eddi's place near Villa Minozzo. I'll admit it took me a few days to settle in, but after that I really felt like part of the household.

The work was varied and never too strenuous -… read more

I stayed just under three weeks at the farm in May and June and had a great experience. Sookhee and Mr Huang are tremendously warm and welcoming people who clearly really enjoy the company of their WorkAwayers and will treat you like members of the family.

I will say the working hours are relatively long, with work generally starting sometime… read more

I had the honour of being the first WorkAwayer to come to the farm, hopefully the first of many as it was a great experience. Donggeun (Lee) was a great host and I was made to feel welcome from the offset. His family are all very friendly, including his young son, who is very cute and not at all shy when interacting with foreigners! I was actually… read more

This was my sixth and final WorkAway of the summer, and it was a perfect note to end on - possibly my favourite of the lot. It was lovely getting to know Lorenzo and his family as well as the other volunteers, and there was a great atmosphere in the house the whole time I was there. The work was relatively varied - collecting wood, weeding,… read more

It was a true pleasure to host Alan.
He is an hard worker, fast learner and a super nice person with a great sense of humour.
Oh and he's also a skilled baker! Made us an incredible crumble pie.
Wish you all the best for the future Alan and hope to have the chance of hosting you again sometimes!

I had a really lovely couple of weeks at Via Scarlato. This was my fifth WorkAway, and of all of them this is the one where I felt there was the greatest bond between host and volunteers. Stefano is very welcoming and generous, and although he has a lot on his plate he always found the time to cook, eat and hang out with us. He also speaks… read more

we had the pleasure of hosting Alan for ten days. A quiet and very descreet person that we want to thank for the great job done with remarkable commitment. We are very happy that he remembers with pleasure his stay and the time spent together, and we recommend him as a perfect workawayer to anyone.

Had a lovely week-and-a-bit with Frederick and Sandra - they're very warm and friendly people I felt welcome from the get go. Sandra is a brilliant cook and I looked forward to each and every meal - I took note of the dishes I hadn't tasted before and may try and replicate a few of them back home. Both of them are very knowledgeable about the area… read more

if Alan contacts you just say yes immediately! He came to us last minute and stayed just over 2 weeks and he did so much in a short time. He is a great all rounder, lots of common sense and not afraid to get stuck in to any job you give him. He worked in the garden, looked after our animals and in the kitchen, he excelled at everything he did. He… read more

This was my very first WorkAway experience. In fact I arrived at Debbie and Daniel's place less than 24 hours after joining the website, so to say it was last-minute is an understatement, but it was definitely one of the best spur-of-the-moment decisions I've ever made. I spent two-and-a-bit weeks here in the company of some brilliant people in a… read more

Alan is a gorgeous guy, he helped us very much and he was always keen to get to know and learn more everyday.
Very smart and funny, he can speak several languages and his Italian is amazing. He was never lazy and he was always willing to do more. He is the perfect volunteer for everyone, he's really easy going and he likes animals too (Nur says… read more

I had a great 10 or so days here- Francesco and Laura are great hosts and I felt very welcome from the get go. Building the new toolshed and moving the timber was hard work at times but it was really rewarding to see a difference being made and to feel like I was earning my keep! I like to think I left a little part of me behind in that cement.… read more
