I'm currently living in North Sumatra Indonesia, but I'll be leaving soon after a year and a half and travelling a little through Java and the region around Bali before heading to New Zealand in Sept.
Descrição
Hey I am Jesse :)

I've been living in North Sumatra, Indonesia, for the past year and a half working as a manager at an NGO called the Bukit Lawang Trust (bukitlawangtrust.org). I am the Head of Volunteering and I also manage our Eco Farming Programme. It's been a wonderful experience, enriching, exciting and full of amazing challenges, but I have been away from home for over two years and it's time to head back for a while. But not before a little more travelling and volunteering!

It's always been my dream to visit New Zealand and I would love to find some interesting volunteering experiences there as I believe it's one of the best ways to travel.

I have loads of experience both volunteering and working with volunteers, of course in my current role as Head of Volunteering at the BLT, but also, prior to working in Indonesia, I spent over a year travelling and for the majority of that time I was volunteering through Workaway. I've done all sorts of things from teaching in Nepal to windsurf instructing in Croatia to working in off-gird communities in various parts of Europe.

Before leaving the UK I was also working in the charity sector, for two very different charities but both working with immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees in some capacity.

I love the outdoors and I'm passionate about our environment and protecting it. I love outdoor activities too, exploring, hiking and climbing. I'm a serious nerd and very into all things fantasy, whether it's books, films, TV or games. Cooking is a passion of mine, it relaxes me and I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen. I like to keep active whenever possible, dancing, playing sports, or cycling.

I've got a lot of interest and happy to try new things and work in a variety of settings. I enjoy working with new people and I'm very open to new experiences and challenges. I am communicative, hard working and independent.

Any questions please feel free to get in touch :)

We had an amazing time at Jin's. The teaching was fun - the lesson plans are well organised, resources are provided and the kids are sweet.
We mainly worked on the weekends, although we managed to pick up a couple of extra shifts too during the week which was great, and Jin paid us for those.
The house was comfortable and had everything we… read more

Mel and Jesse stayed with us for 3 weeks. They were great teachers, skillful and patience with the children. They're also nice and good manner. I wish they could stay longer and also hope you'll come back to stay with us again.

Mel and Jesse stayed with us for 9 days and helped out with olive harvesting and did a very good job painting our house. They were happy to get involved in everything and were always keen to learn. They were really interested in Turkish culture and cooking and we had some great chats throughout our time together, we enjoyed sharing music with each… read more

We stayed with Can and Sevda for 9 days. When we arrived, Can said we would be treated as guests for 80 seconds and then family after that and we really were - in the best way! They are the most wonderful couple and we felt welcome from the second we arrived. We spent several days helping out with olive picking where we learnt a lot about caring… read more

It was a pleasure to host Mel and Jessie for 10 days. They were both always very helpful, able to follow directions and quickly able to get stuff done.

Some of the work they did (very well and with enthusiasm) included digging a drainage trench (excellent work, thanks Jessie), weeding, making chutney (lots), sieving sand, slicing and dehydrating… read more

We spent a wonderful 10 days at Atma's place and could have happily have stayed longer if not for other plans. The area is really beautiful and peaceful and it was so nice to be surrounded by nature.
We learnt a lot about meditation and Kundalini yoga and really enjoyed the morning routine together. Atma was always helpful in answering any… read more

Melanie and Jesse were our great watersports assistants, with their amazing communication skills made our guests feel like in a true 5 star resort. Jesse was a talent for sports, not only that he learned windsurfing with ease, he was able to teach windsurfing beginner classes and became a skillful windsurf teacher. Great addition to our team this… read more

We'd planned to stay with Marko throughout August for 4 weeks, however I ended up staying an extra 2 weeks, so 6 total. Mel had commitments to see some friends so she wasn't able to extend.

We both had the best time! I absolutely loved it, and wanted to stay longer. There was a very relaxed vibe for the whole time and everyone we met,… read more

Jesse & Melanie’s work contributions were excellent and without reproach. Thank you.

Unfortunately the opportunity to discuss our differences constructively was lost.

Concerning your discomfort with the way I give critical feedback, I feel this was due to cultural differences, perceptions and attitudes. Italy is a country of passions and… read more

We spent 3 weeks at Shakeeb’s place. The farm is set in a stunning location and the accommodation is also lovely and very comfortable. The work was varied and we found it really enjoyable since we could always see results from our work; e.g. watering the plants, tying up vines, pruning trees, cleaning the pool, weeding, planting. All meals are… read more

Mel and Jesse stayed with us for 3 weeks. In the first week they helped paint 2 rooms and fully clean and set up the house ready for retreat season. They went beyond what was asked of them to help us get everything finished in time for the guests arrival. Which we really appreciated. During the retreat Jesse helped with cooking and Mel with the… read more
