Description

Hey there,

A little about me (this is the copy and pasted bit), I'm 34, originally from the London, but left home when I was 18 and I've been travelling for the most part ever since. I'm a Carpenter by trade, and since 2024 I've been working for a charity in Mexico & the Philippines. I travel most of the year around, wherever inspiration takes me, I try and update this as much as possible.

SKILLS I'D LOVE TO LEARN:

-Metalwork/Welding/Blacksmithing - if you're skilled in this arena I'd be very grateful for any tutilage, its a real blind spot of mine.
- Horse care/riding - I've loved all the times I've managed to do bits and pieces of horse care/riding on different projects, but would really appreciate an opportunity to spend time learning the fundamentals of care and riding (and yes that means mucking as much as riding). I'd love to have them on my land one day whether I ride them or not, so hoping the universe provides the chance.

I, of course, offer my skills in any way you need, I have a lot of experience with various different building projects & styles, whether that be structures such as houses, barns, saunas, (even a treehouse in Cambodia), permaculture gardens, natural ponds etc. and I really am being sincere when I say building things & working with my hands is my happy place, so please come at me with the passion projects! I love cooking, and am always very happy to share that with people kind enough to invite me into their homes, some of my favourites are Spanish, Indian, Italian & Mexican. Before being a carpenter, I also was a hospitality professional for 10+ years, all over the world, so am more than happy to host guests/activities/group tours as I've done many such jobs, with references as well if you so wish.

While being a very social person, I also enjoy and respect personal space, and am more than comfortable taking care of myself on those days where we all just need the sound of silence.

I think I've said enough to give anyone reading a good idea about myself, but please feel free to ask anything if you need.
Many thanks,
Nick

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Help at a beautiful farmhouse ...)

I would encourage anyone to go visit Frances, what a beautiful part of Slovenia she lives in. She makes a lot of effort to not only share what she knows about the local area, but to take you out into the crazy nature that surrounds her home. If you're up for putting in the work, and occasionally having to carell some unwieldy ducks into their … read more

Laissé par l'hôte (Help at a beautiful farmhouse ...) pour le workawayer ()

Nick was a diamond. I never really use that expression, but it just popped into my head . Usually when workawayers come we do a mixture of tasks/ projects . Nick wanted a proper task, a big project, something interesting. He is a furniture maker/ carpenter, and so I realised how lucky I was and considered what I had that would satisfy his … read more

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Learn about off grid living ...)

What is there to say about my time with Kevin, he's such a wonderful, warm and welcoming person. He's one of those hosts that just gets what this whole experience is supposed to be about, you're not just staying with him, you're part of the family. I could waffle on for pages about the great conversations, the bounty of knowledge or experience he … read more

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Help us create an off grid ...)

To say that me and my partner Ruby merely stayed and worked with Adri & Maartje would be so inaccurate, they made their home our home. They made their family our family. It was my first time using workaway and it was just the most incredible experience, a simple review online couldn't possibly do them justice. All I will say is I could not … read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer ()

It was a great pleasure to have Nick with us. He stayed with us for more then 4 months in very basic and sometimes hard conditions; he endured the burning Spanish sun, the grazy winds from the four corners, the overflooding rains and the irritating flies with a smile and optimism. He has done an amazing job in the garden, together with Ruby, they … read more
