Description
Hey, I'm Ruaridh
I'm a Scottish artist who is traveling around Europe currently.
Specifically I'm looking to travel down the coast of Croatia, into Greece, and maybe do a big loop all the way up to Poland.
I am looking to meet new people, and hopefully learn some new skills so if you want to meet up or maybe to host me then just drop me a message.

I grew up in the Scottish highlands, so love being in the outdoors. I really love walking, running, cycling, any way of moving through beautiful places.

I'm also like to meditate and practice yoga sometimes. My main thing is drawing though. Also into weird sounding music.

At the moment I am basically looking for different and interesting ways to live in this world, because the way most people exist feels wrong to me in many ways :)

I had a lovely and relaxed two weeks staying in Chris and Anna's bothy while helping hem out with odd jobs in the garden.
This is a very peaceful and quiet place, and I loved waking to the sound of waves every morning.
The work itself wasn't too hard, we had frequent coffee breaks, but there was also enough variety of tasks to keep things… read more

Ruaridh stayed with us in the north west highlands of Scotland for 2 weeks in July 20 and quite honestly we couldn't fault him if we tried! He was most willing and able to help us all the time, he was enthusiastic and got on with jobs quite happily on his own and only needed to be shown a task once if at all. During his stay he did a wide variety… read more

Ruaridh was the first workawayer volunteer in my farm and after the COVID19 quarantine seemed as a gift for me..
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 stayed for just over a month with Marianthi on her farm and had a really nice time! I was her first volunteer from workaway, and so there were a variety of different things to be done.
The atmosphere at this place was very laid back and the work was for the most part quite easy and chilled. I was doing simple maintenance jobs such as light… read more

I stayed with Yannis for about two weeks at some time around March and had a really nice stay in Elaiochoria. We made a LOT of adobe bricks, dug swales, and while there was no progress made with making the foundations of the house, we had a good time. He has a very beautiful meadow that will hopefully become a full permaculture project at some… read more

Ruaridh ended up being a long term guest at our place. Carantine decided to extend his stay, so we were happy to receive his help in various fields. We acieved a big plantation challenge of 250 trees, creating lots of veggie beds , starting the spring veggies, 2 lakes creation, preparation and starting building stone foundation for a cob house and… read more

I had an amazing stay with Padelis for the month of February. It was a great experience that really exemplified what workaway is about. I met lots of wonderful people, learned new things about organic farming, and also about myself.

Padelis has loads of work on his plate and you will never be stuck for things to do. As there is a huge variety… read more

If you like cats you will be at home here!
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

I was incredibly lucky to stumble upon Ruth and Andrea at the last minute when another host canceled my stay. They are probably the most hospitable and welcoming people I have ever met.
Eating was....... Always 5star standard hahaha ... And I felt like bursting after every meal.

While staying I made some gates to stop their pet goats from… read more

I stayed on the farm for a chilly winter month and had a great time here. At this workaway I had some mixed feelings but overall my stay was lovely and I learned a lot about myself.
For a start I'd like to say that while staying here I felt very much at home with the other people I met while staying, and it felt like being in a family with the… read more

I stayed for one month at this small hill farm and it was a wonderful experience. It is a very serene and secluded place. The pool of quiet Simone and Freida have created here was the perfect environment to work and practice meditation. The beautiful mountains that surround the farm were really also inspiring for making art.

I did a mosaic bath… read more

Ruaridh stayed with us for about a month during the Autumn of 2018 and the longer he stayed the more we appreciated his modesty and intelligence.

He is a very good worker and sticks to laborious tasks with patience and stamina, using his intelligence to figure out how best to tackle a task, which is a really helpful quality. He's a gifted artist… read more

had a lovely stay here for about a month in November. This has been one of my favourite work away locations so far; perfect if you want to find some solitude and go for long walks or runs through the magical forests. Peter, Silka and their kids are all lovely and wonderful people though, so conversation round the dinner table is really interesting… read more

an experience that can only be described as unique.

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.

I would recommend here only if you have a clear idea of what your personal boundaries are. If you are staying in the dormitory, your… read more

It was great to have Ruaridh at our museum!
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

Had an amazing time here, I don't think it could have been better.
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
