Descrição
Hi!
My name is Ben and I am a PhD student in Canada, currently in Toronto. I also have a mixed media art practice and find much inspiration from being in nature. I have traveled, Workawayed, hiked and studied abroad extensively. When I wasn't studying I spent time teaching myself guitar and exploring the mountains and outdoors, trail running, mountain biking, and surfed in the cold North Sea!
I am an avid appreciator of the arts, love reading fiction, poetry and non-fiction alike. Other times, I love creating my own illustrations & watercolour pieces, sound art, songs, video works, and writing short stories or poetry. I also used to run an initiative that taught people wood-working skills to build handmade, unique longboards and skateboards.
I am happiest when I am outside, no matter what the weather. My ideal evening would be watching the sunset after a long run, doing yoga, sitting around a campfire with people, singing songs, dancing, and having a laugh before sleeping under the stars.
:)

Quais são suas habilidades?
I am able to work with anyone, as I am a people-person. As the head coordinator of a university club, I have planned many events and carried out many administrative tasks to manage the club. When faced with challenges I tackle them with my creative, out-of-the box thinking, and plan solutions in detail beforehand. I have co-organized coffee houses and art shows for local artists and love making ideas a reality. I am very excited to learn new skills, meet people, and enjoy nature with others!

As I am currently a PhD student in art history, with a background in philosophy, I can teach some writing, and English. I am also an avid creative, and can help with any creative task.

In the past, I have worked on gardens, farms, with eco-building projects, woodworking, and design projects. I am a very quick learner :).

Ben is a delightful, cheerful, enthusiastic person to have around and it was a pleasure having to stay for a couple of weeks. He turned his hand to a few different jobs with curiousity and gusto - plastering walls, hempcreting and even just moving boxes around was all done in good spirits. In spare time, he was off running, mountainbiking and… read more

My time with Marita, Chuck and Olve was one I will not soon forget. I felt so welcomed at their home, and Marita made the best homemade bread... I also really enjoyed the almost stream of consciousness, ever winding, conversations, after dinner over candlelight as the sun set over their surrounding mountain-scapes. The workload was very fair, not… read more

Ben is very nice and easy going, and even if he was with us only a week, we could appreciate his generosity and sympathy!
See you next winter Ben!

Super great place to stay! The work is a dream if you like being in nature and surrounded by mountains. In my time off which was plentiful I explored the mountainsides and the local area including some delicious beers from the local brewery Birra Pejo :). I met some great Workawayers while I was there and had a great time with the family. Joy is… read more

We were honestly so sad when Ben left - we would have kept him here forever!
All of us immediately fell in love with the kind, funny, open and creative person we experienced him to be.
He was always happy to try new things and created some amazing art while he was here.
We hope to have him back next summer for an extended art-stay (we´re… read more

Ohmygoodness! It will be hard to describe the happiness that was my experience with the family and at the Art Chalet. The whole family is so kind and so keen to show off the stunning area. I was able to try some new art mediums such as wood engraving and wood cutting & carving. I also had the chance to work with artists all around the world, and… read more

If I could give them a few extra stars, I would... Jakki and Russell are two of the most fantastic people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with.

Ben is a delightful young man, and it was a pleasure and a privilege to have him stay with us. Ben has a great attitude to life, is very open and willing to try anything, so it made working with him very easy. He proved to be conscientious and hard working, followed instructions well, and fulfilled any request with a smile.

Maia is such an interesting person who has many incredible life experiences and is very fun to have philosophical discussions with. While I was there, I was helping her with gardening and I learnt many things about how to plant and tend to a garden. The work is more than 5 hours a day, but you have a nice long break in the middle of the day (the… read more
