Description
I currently work full-time in the UK for the Rivers Trust. I am passionate about animals, nature, and being outdoors and I love travelling and experiencing new things and challenges. I previously spent 3 years in Canada working and volunteering through Workaway. I am now looking for shorter term opportunities in Europe to see more of this beautiful Continent, explore its nature, and meet new people.

I am open minded and eager to help and gain knowledge and experience in various aspects of life. I enjoy working with my hands, and am keen to learn skills that I can take with me and use in my own life. I enjoy meeting new people with different ideas, philosophies and approaches to life.

Thank you so much Mike for an excellent 3 weeks in Winter Harbour, I wish it could have been longer. What an incredible place that I am so happy I got to explore. Mike is an excellent host and a great guide to the beautiful area. This truly is a wild and rugged place and Mike made sure I got the best experience I could. The work schedule was very… read more

I have recently left Maria and John’s farm after an excellent 7 months. Maria and John are great hosts, and I thoroughly enjoyed their company and learning what they had to teach me.

The work is never dull and spending time with all the animals is a great experience. The dogs are all lovely, 2 of them take a bit of time to warm up to new people,… read more

Gem, gem, gem of a guy - great personality, great conversationalist, helpful, thoughtful and a good worker. Loved Will. Unfortunately he left us way too soon. Would recommend him hands down.

I have just (reluctantly) left Dawn and Russell's place after nine amazing days. Dawn and Russell are excellent hosts. They're welcoming, generous, interesting and just generally great company. The care and respect taken over the animals is amazing and it is truly a pleasure to have been able to help care for them. The same can be said for the… read more

Will was a pleasure to have around, good humour and motivated to work. He was able to take initiative and solve problems on his own. More into beer and pot than local food. He made a couple tasty meals with ingredients he bought from the store that he was more familiar with and was very open to try new foods. He helped fishing crab and fed us well… read more

I left Jonathan's recently after 2 great weeks staying and working with him. Jonathan is an incredibly unique and interesting person and i thoroughly enjoyed my time with him. He provides stimulating conversation and i feel like i learnt a lot from him about harvesting from the land and sustainable living. Thank you Jonathan.

I couldn't have asked for a better workaway experience than that I had recently. The property and surrounding wilderness is truly exceptional. The natural beauty there is unrivalled. This experience is only made better by Mark and Cynthia, two of the kindest and most generous people anyone could hope to meet. I thoroughly enjoyed their company and… read more

I have just left after an excellent week. Ritchard is a truly kind and generous host and human. The property is beautiful and Ritchards company makes it all the better. He is a friendly, helpful person and made me very welcome during my stay. The tasks were always enjoyable and there is plenty of local natural beauty to keep one occupied in free… read more

Thank you so much for everything Will! We were sad to see you leave:) Will helped us so much over the sledding season and truly cared for the dogs. Funny, reliable and a pleasure to live with!

I have just left after spending 5 months with Shellie and Joe (and the dogs) and I can truly say that I could not have asked for better hosts or a better experience. There is lots to do and the work is often physically demanding but never boring. Shellie and Joe are extremely generous, accommodating and friendly and offer a relaxed and fun… read more
