Descrição
My name is Darren, but I prefer to be called Daz. I have been on quite the journey in the past decade since completing my degree.
I have worked and volunteered my way to almost 50 countries. The journey has been phenomenal. The changes in global movement policies has made my souls passion more challenging, the ability to volunteer, live and earn traveling has changed. Yet I don't give up, I'm shifting to alternative methods of generating income and movement.
My last work away was in Devon 2024, since then I have helped my friend with her cafe/Bar in the stable yard of an Earls Estate in Cornwall and spent 6 months in Australia.
I'm at the stage in life where I'm trying to build my own projects online, and build skills around alternative education, functional movement and key skills children should be taught. My long term mission is to build a space for children to become the heroes of their story.
Available for projects that teach me mentorship skills, creative writing/ videography/ blogging, come with adventure and deep meaningful connection and allow me to leave the UK long term.
Thank you!

Darren is just a great man! I think you can see all his good feedbacks which show the kind of person he is.
He’s a great worker and a brilliant work ethic , but more important , he’s just a fantastically positive spirit who works well on his own , but always brings so much to a team with his caring way for everyone.

It was very good having Darren at our place.
Besides performing daily tasks both in the house and with our animals, he participated in various building projects. We did concrete work on our rainwater cistern, woodworking on our star trailer, sewage pipe digging and many other tasks, which he enthusiastically jumped onto.

During his stay, Darren was keen to help out in any way he could. He was happy to put in the effort over and above what was expected of him and was always looking for another task that he could help out with. Darren was a part of the team who worked on our geodome. We are very excited to have this project complete!

I assigted with the dome building project over the last month and had the best time.

So good we couldn't let him leave.
Darren helped us for three months last Autumn and it was a pleasure to have him around. He came with a few skills but that didn't deter him or us, his can do attitude meant he left with so many more skills and he helped us with so so many projects in our time together it is hard to list them all. No job to big… read more
