Hey, I'm Ruaridh
I'm a Scottish forestry student/artist looking to travel and meet new people :)
I'm hoping of travelling Slovenia during August and doing some hiking in triglav national park. If anyone is interested in joining me then hmu! :)
I grew up in the Scottish highlands, so love being in the outdoors. I really love walking, running, cycling, and being more in touch with nature.
I have visited around 10 workaways so far around Europe and have some basic knowledge of horticulture, woodworking, and living on permaculture farms. I also have some experience using a chainsaw and felling trees if this is useful to you at all.
I am quite a diligent person and like working hard just as much as relaxing, but my main reason for being here is to learn new skills, gain experience and expertise from other people while travelling!
Don't hesitate to contact me if i might be of use on your project :)Centres d’intérêt

He was shy in the beginning but very soon we found our way of communication. I admired his confidence in the mountain paths, going everywhere around without knowing the paths. In the farmwork he learned fast and he took initiative when… read more

I spent a lovely two weeks on Syros with Jackie, the cats and other volunteers. The work was very easy and quite laid back compared to most workaways I've been on, consisting of feeding (and cuddling) the moggies, and cleaning out their litter trays each day, and also a little painting and… read more

much of the work was outside, on a large vegetable garden or making mosaics on the fountain. this was a pretty nice way to spend my days for a few weeks.

He made a great team with the rest of the volunteers, took his work with responsibility and autonomy and also brought a wonderful environment for all of us. Overall he has a great personality that wont be unnoticed! He is very creative and has a lot to tell and from to learn, and also has a very nice… read more
The location is quite indescribable, like being dropped into the set of Andrei Tarkovsky's 'Stalker'. Rusting towers of metal, concrete, brittle animal bone combined with a white cube gallery space, and this surrounded by beautiful forests and sky. A very textural experience; this… read more
