Descrição
My name is Jeff, I'm from England and I have been travelling most of my life. I am not much of a tourist so I prefer to volunteer or work while I am travelling so I have the opportunity to do things and meet people that I wouldn't otherwise.
I have spent time in NYC, lived in Tokyo for a year, worked managing a hostel in Bangkok, volunteered in hostels in many different countries, taught English in Brazil and spent a lot of time in Prague.
I am a hard worker with a good work ethic and willing to do whatever is needed. These days I am more interested in helping out with some construction projects or gardening and learning some new things.
I have used Helpx and Workaway to volunteer in many different countries. I have volunteered on farms in Japan, hostels in Thailand and all around the Balkans, helped build a mud house / kindergarten in Ukraine, fixing things around the home in NYC and even volunteered in a cinema in Cambodia.
I am a smoker but of course I am fine smoking outside away from the non smokers! I am not fussy with food. I can cook. I am good with computers and I can fix some Apple phones and computers. I have managed a backpackers hostel 3 times in a row for 6 months a time so I have all the skills needed for all aspects of hostel work. I am good with manual work too so I can do pretty much anything I'm needed to and I am a fast learner.
I am a big music fan, all different types of music, and very into films and reading. I like to go out for a drink and have fun!

Jeff was very easy going, bonded with our dog, offered to cook and help with small things without being asked and completed a couple of projects with Luis and while we were out of town and did a great job. He was thoughtful, courteous, well read and well traveled. You are welcome back any time. (Homie cried when you left. LOL)

I stayed with Amy and Luis kind of last minute when they were going away for their sons wedding. They met me at the airport and we spent a day together before they left me to look after their dog Homie and their lovely house. They made sure I had everything I needed and kept in touch and were easily reachable, as was their daughter who was nearby.… read more

Jeff is a hardworking, practical and capable worker. He is a calm, quiet person and consequently an easy person to have staying in our house. He was good with the animals and any practical tasks we gave him.

I stayed for just a week with Cagdas and Yigit. The work was so little that it felt like I was just staying with friends. You just need to help keep the apartment clean, feed the cats and maybe cook sometimes.
Kadikoi is an excellent place to be in Istanbul and these guys are very easygoing.

I had my own room and we cooked some good meals and went for all you can eat sushi at Mr Tokyo. I was hoping to go back there over Christmas, but it turns out i wont make it… read more

Jeff has been a very nice workawayer. He is an smart guy, who can handle lots of jobs after a good explanation. The time he was here was very stressful due to the fact that I had to move to a new house which was not finished, but Jeff has been very calm and made his best every day. He had to discover jobs he never done but performed as much as… read more

I volunteered with Sejla for a few weeks in September and had a great time. Sejla and the other staff are all great, the hostel is new and a lot of thought and detail has gone in to it. I did some shifts on reception to cover the staff's days off and helped a bit with making beds and laundry.

We love Jeff :)
We had Jeff for 2 weeks working in the hostel and he fitted in straight away. He is responsible and able to learn everything very fast and he is also good with the guests, taking them out with him in the evenings. We would have him back any time and recommend him to any other hosts as a great worker.

Wow! I ended up staying one month at the hostel and even after I left, I was back within two weeks for another 10 days there. We were 5 volunteers and it was really like a family. Such a beautiful place, lovely garden with fruit trees, great atmosphere and many good times there. Verona and Juli looked after us and you couldn't ask for better… read more
