Description
I am BingLu(Tom) from Taiwan Republic, a happy guy who always smile and share happiness. Smiley is my nickname.😄

I have been to Canada, New Zealand and Ireland for working holidays, so I have lots of work experience as a gardener, a housekeeper, a second cook, a dishwasher, a cleaner, a packhouse worker, a fruit picker, a shore support for cruise ship, a car park attendant, a ski resort lift attendant, a furniture deliverer and an English translator.

I really enjoy Workaway and I miss all my hosts and the work. I thank every host so much because they offered me food, shelters, care and the most importantly, Love. As a result, I always do my best in my work to thank the host!

I like to learn and I am able to work well
no matter I am alone or with others! I have passion for my jobs and work hard! My philosophy is" Love it. Live it. Share it!", which is the vision of NZSki, the ski resort company where I worked before.

Besides, I am fit for physical work and good at heavy lifting. I enjoy physical work because I like to exercise to keep my body and mind healthy. I love gardening because I love nature and plants. Gardening is very therapeutic and it's likeIn addition, I like brainstorming. When I worked at packhouse, I was always thinking about the way to pack faster. I had competitions with my supervisor, and I actually won for a few times, which is one of the highlight in my career!

I believe that people are different but the same. It is the differences that makes people try to understand each other, learn from each other, and love each other! Love is something that everyone needs and makes us the same! When traveling, I always make new friends, meet the locals, and learn different cultures, values and languages.

Additionally, I am always learning new things to make my life more fun. When I was in New Zealand, I learned snowboarding, and it changed my life forever. Why? Because snowboarding is hard, I need to commit to it! In stead of giving up, I kept trying, taking lessons and asking questions. After my first season, I finally can shred on black tracks and do some tricks.

Thank you for reading my profile. You are welcome to ask me for my references from previous employers and hosts to know more about me.

Meng Ru stayed with us for two months and helped with the lambing. He was a fantastic member of our team; eager to learn, hard working and most importantly a wonderful human being. We would have him back anytime

Fred and Joanna are very kind hosts. They gave me an authentic Irish experience. I learned so much in the lambing season. I witnessed the miracle of life and the grief of death.

I got all the training needed for the tasks. I got help from coworkers and Fred, and the season was finished very well. It was nice to take care of sheep, learn to drive… read more

I enjoyed staying with this lovely family. Joanne and Milo took good care of me. They cooked me healthy food, showed me around the area whenever possible, and gave me lots of free time. They made sure I enjoyed my time there. Joanne even arranged one night for me to go to a concert with other Workaway host and Workawayer. I am really thankful for… read more her care about me.

The house and garden are located in a beautiful and tranquil area surrounded by mountains and green. It is enjoyable to work in the garden and see the nature. I did some sowing, weeding, pruning and transplanting. I also helped move stuffs from the house to the storage room for the ongoing projects. I did some house work like dishwashing, bringing in firewood, emptying the compost and setting table. Joanne and Milo gave me clear instructions about work, and they helped me a lot.

They are passionate about promoting of organic gardens. They share this environmentally friendly lifestyle with everyone. They try to raise environmental awareness and give education about food to make the Earth better and more sustainable. It is so good to know people like them are saving the Earth.

They are a family of 6. The family vibe is very warm. Joanne and Milo are two of the best parents who do their best to give the children the best! They treat children with love, patience and the best education. Lindsaymei is a baker, artist, potterier, b-box girl, musician, and cook (the pasta for my last dinner is yummy!) Lennon is a very good mannered, polite and gentle boy who plays music and has lots of knowledge about history and dinosaurs. Bethany is a brilliant unicyclist and has the most craic and energy in the family and brings so many laughters and happiness, and she sometimes became an unicorn. Besides, she makes arguably the best scrambled egg in the world. Buster is a dog which likes sleeping, asking for food, eating, and sleeping. You will enjoy sitting by the fire with him. Milo is a great father and husband who has many great ideas and do them right away, and he plans the projects around the house and is always like go-go-go. Joanne knows everything about gardening and is very busy with her business, but she still takes very good care of everyone in the family.

I had very good time with this lovely family. I recommend this family to everyone especially those who want a warm family vibe with lots of love. If you are not sure whether to have a family or not, you will find your answer from this family.

Thank you so much! I hope to see you again, and I am excited to see the
different OURganic Gardens after the projects finish. :)

All the best,
Tom

Meng Ru ( Tom) stated with us for two weeks. He is the perfect workaway, always willing, polite, good humored and hard working. When Tom arrived first we thought he was very quiet but as the days went by we realized he was full of fun and laughter. He showed great interest in our everyday lives and in our culture. He was so appreciative of… read more

Pat and Fidelma are the best Irish I have met so far! They gave me lots of love and care. My English has improved because they are always patient with my English. I learned authentic Irish culture from them. They showed me around the beautiful area. I am really thankful for their help, the food, the warmness and the family atmosphere!

They have… read more two golden rules: 1. no hunger; 2. no coldness. They cooked many meals a day, and we had a tea break during the work. They always set up fire in stove and fireplace to keep me warm. These two basic things mean a lot to me because I am a backpacker without much money. I appreciate it so much!

The works are easy. Every morning we put away clean dishes from dishwasher, collect firewood and coal, clean stove and fireplace. We had breakfast. Then, we did outdoor works like: pick up hay and straw in the yard, feed the sheep, weeding and removing mud in the yard and spray gravel. Some farm works are heavier like shavel clay and stones, build a fence, fit posts in holes, which are maintenance and renovation work, and clean hay feeders, build compost, etc. Every day was slightly different, so I never got bored. Pat is really skillful and strong, and he was always working with me. He showed me lots of techniques on farm, and he always gave me clear instructions about how to work and what to do. He has very good EQ and very patient when working with me!! I gained some muscle and had good exercise in work! Also, my shaveling and racking skills improved so much!! In the middle of work, we always had a break. After work was done, he cooked a delicious meal.

Pat is very good at cooking and very knowledgeable. He knew many things like history, culture, Europe, Asia, etc. He is easygoing. Fidelma is very considerate and cared about my day and feeling. She gave and showed me Irish snacks. I had good time enjoying chocolate with her. I miss the time we together enjoying Cadbury chocolate finger, Mr. TAYTO, and Barry's Tea! After I finished my stay with them, she still asked me if everything goes well. She truly cared about me, and I felt so warm.

Pat and Fidelma are like family, and they took very good care of me, and we had great time. They were eager to know my culture and language, and we learned from each other.

The accommodation is comfy, cozy and warm. It is a true home sweet home! I already miss everything there. I strongly recommend them to everyone.

Thank you, Pat and Fidelma, for everything! I am looking forward to seeing you soon! Take care and all the best! :)
