Descrição
Hey! I'm Glen, a 23 year old maths graduate, soon to be a Phd candidate, planning to explore more of the world for a year before starting out.

I was lucky enough to have grown up in a pretty little village, called Arnside, in England's Lake District. After secondary school I moved to Manchester to start a 4 year masters degree in maths which I have just now finished... thank god! After a long time getting puzzled by abstract maths I'm ready to take a trip back to the real world :)

For this trip I'm thinking about travelling by bike / interrail with some workaway pit-stops on along the way. I'm an experience junky so anything a bit different would be great! My main hope with a host is that we can get to know eachother, do a bit of cultural exchange, the usual, and hopefully learn something along the way. I don't view this platform as a way to get cheap accomadation to prelong a trip, what I love most about travelling is the experiences and the people you get to meet that otherwise wouldn't ever cross your path!

Random (hopefully interesting) facts:
My dad lives in China and I've been there for about 1 year on and off.
I've walked 250 miles across the scottish highlands with just a hammock and tarp.
I hitchhiked from the Uk to Azerbaijan in a failed attempt to get to China without flying.
I'm not using any shampoo or soap (except hands of coures!) this year... please trust me, I don't stink!
I'm trying to get rid of all my prejudices by meeting everyone and seeing everything!

I stayed at 乐土农场 (Joyland farm) for just 8 days but the hospitality was increadible and I was free to work at my own discretion on a nature trail for visiters. It was really pleasant I most enjoyed documenting the wildlife and searching for mushrooms. The owner Heshu is passionate about nature and improving the farms permaculture methods so if you… read more

Definitely one of best workaways I have been to! It ticked all the boxes for cultural exchange, learning new skill and visiting a beautiful place. There were many Chinese at the farm who were all really warm and I had such a nice time getting to know them and experiencing there cultures. The work I did was at my own discretion since I was asked… read more

Glen arrived when I desparately needed help to get the house and garden back in shape after my one and a half month's abscence. We did quite a bit of cleaning and weeding together. He was quiet and low maintenance. His persistence in learning Chinese was inspiring!

I spent a really nice 10 days here, the location is unbeatable with a wealth of beautiful nature and wildlife, I especially like walking around and watching the birds and butterflies. The work mostly involved removing weeds and getting the place back to its working order but wasn't too hard. Only thing I would note is that due to a health problem… read more

I spent a really nice week here, the location is idyllic, perfect for hiking or just relaxing. Also the manager was very friendly and even took me out to meet some of his friends in Xingping. The work I did was mostly in the garden strimming weeds and in the hotel tidying and helping with the guests, it wasn't too bad. Overall I really enjoyed it… read more

We had Glen for a week and everything went along fine. It was interesting to discuss different perspectives in life with him and I can say he was a hard workers and always ready to help. I will recommend Glen to other hosts.
We wish you a great travel and we hope you can find your way to China.

My week here was great, the place is homely and far removed from typical industrial farms, the work was varied and the hosting faultless. I'll miss the discussions on goat and life related matters, great food and amazing atmosphere. All the best guys wish you a warm winter!

Staying here really opened my mind to more conscious, sustainable ways of living rather than just trying to salvaging a sinking ship or modern society as it is sometimes called.
The work, which was is trivial in light of the experience, was done at my own convenience and for me involved chopping firewood, cooking, building a wood stack and… read more
