Descrição
I have quite a lot of experience of travelling and living in foreign cultures, and volunteering on different projects. I consider myself a cultural chameleon. Professionally I have mainly worked for charities in the field of international development.

At the moment I am looking to build on my skills needed to live a self-sustainable life in nature - permaculture, DIY, construction, etc - as I look to one day set up my own off-grid project. I am more than happy to get down and dirty and do any hard, physical, manual-type labour. And it's a bonus if I get to practice my rusty Spanish or if there is a spiritual side to life on your project (I am a keen meditator)

I am usually quite sociable and like to have a laugh, although more recently I have been quiet and introspective, so I'm looking for something communal to get me out of my shell again :)

I have many hobbies and passions. Feel free to ask anything to find out more!

I had an awesome time at Gretl’s place near Alcublas. I was there for around 3/4 weeks and got involved in a variety of tasks; some creative (making wall mosaics), some DIY (fixing tools and parts of the building), some generally maintenance (Cleaning, taking trash to the dump site). I enjoyed all of it and particularly appreciated Gretl’s warm… read more

I just finished a five week stint here, and I’m gutted to have to leave now! If I could, I would have stayed here much longer and my plan is to come back as soon as possible.
This place and the surrounding area is very special and can have a transformational impact on you if you have the right attitude and are ready for its challenges; like a lot… read more

Simon spent several weeks with us during the pandemic. He is a thoughtful, caring, conscientious person who wants to make a difference in life. He was good at helping Dharma with tasks like making a woodstore and fitting the ibcs, once he was shown what to do. He is willing and engaged and still building his skills. - coming from an urban… read more

My experience with Cassandra, Dharma and the other volunteers was exactly what I was looking for in my 6 weeks at their place; learning how to live on the land and all the necessary tasks and required skills, a taste of a more self-dependant lifestyle and a chance to get away from the chaos of city life and to connect with nature in an awesome… read more

Simon was a 'last minute' WorkAway. Luckily for me he was available for a couple of weeks before his plans kick in to travel abroad. Simon's skill set is useful and diverse and he will give anything he hasn't previously tried, a go. He is diligent and conscientious and did an amazing job of cleaning up the boat after the winter, ready for use.… read more

Sue is an amazing host, and person! She is super welcoming, accommodating and flexible - both with hours worked and tasks (which mainly consisted of, in my case, looking after the garden, cleaning the boat and chopping wood). She is also very friendly and makes you feel at home right away. And what a place she has! The surroundings are very unique… read more

Simon is an excellent workawayer, always ready to help and the communication is his strongest side.
He stayed longer than 2 months with us and I can say he's a really good english teacher. We've had very precise questions about english and he've helped us with every of them. Also he helped us in any activity, garden, shoots, dogs.
Now we think… read more

Rafa and Kim are two of the coolest people you'll ever meet and definitely the best Workaway hosts; super laid-back, sociable and fun. The work is laid-back and interesting - for me it was mainly helping with their English and sometimes helping Rafa on photoshoots, and also with the dogs and general housework (but they don't expect you to work… read more

This was my first Workaway/hostel experience, and for me this was a perfect place for it. Paco, the owner, is a super chill, friendly and laidback person who you can go to for help with anything, as with all the other volunteers there. Good to place to make friends and meet people from all over. Would highly recommend and will be heading back as… read more
