Description
I am very interested in low-impact lifestyles and living closely with the natural world. I am keen to learn as much as I can about different ways of life and am grateful for the opportunity to acquire knowledge and practical skills from hosts.

My practical interests include permaculture, vegetarian/vegan cooking and animal care. I offer lots of energy and enthusiasm for whatever work is required - I enjoy all types of work whether it be physical work, manual tasks or working with people or animals. I take pleasure in preparing meals and sharing cooking skills as well as maintaining a clean and tidy living space for myself and those around me.

Professionally, I work as an English language coach offering 1:1 online classes to children and adults. I also do some remote work for a yoga centre (former Workaway host).

Growing up in the country, I have always maintained a close connection with the natural world. I regularly practice yoga and occasionally lead informal meditation groups. Some of my other interests include reading, discussing meaningful aspects of life, hiking and generally spending time in quiet, beautiful places.

A few years ago I finished my degree in Human Geography in which I learned about different cultures from around the world. I then worked for a 'global education' charity before deciding to find practical experiences by travelling some more around Europe.

Thanks for reading and hope to meet you soon!

I had a fantastic month-long stay here! The experience ticked so many boxes for me: a highly knowledgeable host, a variety of learning opportunities, rich biodiversity and a stunning natural landscape.

Harry spent a month here and was a huge help for us in the middle of the high season! He worked in the kitchen and was so fast and took responsability and own initiatives. He also helped us cleaning around the hostel =) He was really easy to have around and got well along with the other volunteers and workers. He stayed in a tree house that he… read more

It was a joy to spend a month in this secluded community! There was a great balance between being able to experience the activity and intensity of peak tourist season while being able to escape into the forest to relax after work.

Being around so many interesting characters meant everyday was a fresh experience and ensured the potentially… read more

Harry contribution was amazing, we are so thankful he was part of our team! He stayed with us for four months, firstly as a volunteer and then as kitchen leader for 2.5 months managing the inventory, placing food orders and overseeing the cooking of all meals.
We had a lot of great feedback from guests and teachers and were really impressed with… read more

This place was my home for four months this summer. During my time there I met countless people from varying walks of life and formed many fruitful relationships. I had the privilege of having the whole summer season to see myself and the place transform and grow.

In exchange for their work, volunteers are richly rewarded. This place is a… read more

I had the pleasure of living with Sam for two months last summer. He is warm and open with everyone around him and always considerate to the needs of others. As a friend, Sam is caring and a good listener as well as great at making people laugh!

Sam's projects are always ambitious but he is well equipped with plenty of determination and… read more

Harry stayed with us for a month during autumn this year. He was always motivated to help wherever possible and willing to learn about the dogs and all work around the camp. If you asked him to do something you could rely that it will be done properly what we really appreciate.
Harry is a nice and open person. We enjoyed having him in our… read more

I lived and worked here for one enjoyable month this autumn. Although I would ideally have stayed a bit longer in order to become more familiar with the work routines, the dogs and my coworkers, I still gained a lot from my time here. It is a fast-paced environment, with many opportunities for learning about all aspects of the work involved with… read more

Harry is a gentleman! As a host, it’s always a precious pleasure to meet someone particularly mindful and trustworthy. While I was away for a workshop, he took care of the daily things here, and thoughtfully added some small improvements here & there, listening to his own rhythm. He’s been staying as well to my friends places who are hosting a lot… read more

Martin is a wonderful person living in an idyllic environment. My time in Trantranges was unplanned and only occurred due to a happy coincidence. I felt very fortunate to be part of a small group of open and easy going people for a short time.

Welcoming, peaceful and relaxed; Martin is also a highly knowledgeable and entertaining host. He cares… read more

It was a real pleasure to spend six weeks with Chloë. Her project of preserving ancient fruit tree varieties is inspirational, as are the building projects she has already completed on the land.

People wanting to stay with Chloë will need to be prepared to work hard and sometimes long hours, but will be rewarded by excellent company, spectacular… read more
