Descrição
Hi, I’m Mateo — an explorer inspired by nature, music, and a deeper connection to life.
I grew up in southern Poland, surrounded by forests, rivers, and the Carpathian Mountains. That early connection to nature shaped how I see the world: as something to listen to, respect, and co-create with. Community, cooperation, and simplicity have always felt natural to me.
Professionally, I’m a structural engineer with over 10 years of experience, mainly in bridge design, and I’ve spent the last several years living and working in the UK. More recently, my focus has been shifting toward sustainable and ecological building methods, especially projects like earthships and low-impact homes.
Alongside my professional path, I’ve been following a personal calling—to live closer to nature and eventually help create a community rooted in connection, creativity, and shared purpose. A place by a river, near forests, where people can gather, build, grow food, share stories, and learn from each other.
Right now, I’m based in Cumbria, where I’m developing my home project, “The House of Talking Trees.” It’s a peaceful place near the English–Scottish border, open to travellers, creators, musicians, and anyone interested in a more conscious and grounded way of living.
I use Workaway to connect with like-minded people, support meaningful projects, and learn from communities already living closer to the land. I bring practical skills in building, engineering, gardening, and problem-solving, but I also value presence, collaboration, and good energy in shared spaces.
If our paths align, I’d be happy to contribute, exchange knowledge, and be part of something meaningful.
Peace,
Mateo

Not only as a helper - he (almost!) immediately adapted to our early work start (5:30), loose program and strange humour, was always ready to help and always in a good mood, we greatly appreciated his civil engineering skills and physical strength;

It has been so nice to learn from this gentle kind hard-working person. We shared a lot of conversations and he was an excellent communicator despite our very different working methods. Mat helped me with designing the roof and gave me the confidence to continue with the build while teaching me about reinforcement… read more
