  • Descrição

    I am 32 and grew up in south-east England, in a busy rural area on 6 acres. I studied history at university. I have been living a fairly nomadic lifestyle for a long time and largely do manual labour of various kinds to get by.

    Most recently I have been a conservation volunteer in Iceland with the government's Environment Agency: focused on maintaining and/or laying natural footpaths and hiking trails, and on other activities aimed to restore natural habitats in the Icelandic wilderness areas. Worked in small groups and lived often in remote areas in basic conditions, in tents close to project locations.
    In my months back in England I have been working with a fencing contractor and as a groundsman with a tree services business (assisting arborists with tree removals, as well as forestry).

    I returned to England in September 2023 after travelling continuously for 6 years in New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. In NZ I worked in the kiwi fruit industry for 3-4 months each year and helped a small-scale firewood business & a family-run sawmill. In Australia I worked for a large-scale hops producer for a few seasons and in Canada I worked a summer in a craft brewery.
    Aside from these paid jobs most of my time in each country was spent staying with hosts via WWOOF & workaway at rural, often remote properties undertaking a variety of tasks - including firewood processing, fencing, construction, tending to animals, gardening, landscape projects, handy-man jobs and more. Overall I've stayed with 60+ hosts and enjoy learning about off-grid set-ups, people trying to grow or harvest their own food, and living rurally.

    In free time I enjoy staying active, going hiking, running, working out, or enjoying a good book. Also exploring the local area and having good conversations with hosts. My happy places are being out in the woods & mountains. I enjoy visiting remote places, having adventurous experiences, and getting some physical & mental challenge.

  • Quais são suas habilidades?

    Don't have a trade. Main strength is being a good grunt but can use most tools and if provided with a bit of training and decent instructions make a good go of most jobs if I haven't already done something similar.

    Jobs that I've enjoyed in the past: firewood, digging holes, brush cutting, chainsaw work, tending fires, track clearing, shifting rocks/building rock steps/rock walls, landscape projects, scything, planting trees, fencing, basic construction (especially post & beam/timber-framing), carpentry, wooden bench tops, and anything that involves a bit of movement and gets the muscles working.

    Have experience driving ATVs/quad-bikes, bobcat, front-end loader, snowmobile, small tractors, and a few old rusty 4WD trucks that have been resigned to life on a farm.
