Description

Hello! 👋 I’m Jonathan, a Film Studies student from the University of Warwick, UK. 🎓

University has been a rewarding journey 🎥📚, but I’ve found myself feeling a bit disconnected from the real world. Most of my time is spent behind a desk or a camera, and I’m eager to reconnect with nature and immerse myself in the outdoors. 🌍🌿

My Outdoor Goals 🏕️: I’m passionate about hiking 🥾 and excited to take it a step further with Workaway! I hope to learn skills like farming, fishing, hunting, and camping. 🌱🎣 I’m also excited to bring my own skills to share with you, including media, marketing, photography, and film.

My Passions 🍲 & Philosophy 🌎: While film is one of my main loves, my biggest passion is food! Growing up in a Chinese family, I developed a love for cooking, community, and shared meals. I believe in sustainability and ethical food sourcing, which is why I’m so interested in learning more about farming. I would be thrilled to meet you all over a meal—whether cooked by you or me! 🧑‍🍳🍜

Love for Animals 🐾: I’m an animal lover and have a dog of my own, so I’d be keen to help care for animals on your farm or homestead.

Martial Arts & Physical Work 💪🥋: With years of experience in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai, I’m ready to jump in and tackle any labor-intensive tasks. Though I may seem small, my martial arts training has made me strong and resilient, so I’m ready to pull my own weight!


🌍 Hello!
I’m Akshan, an enthusiastic automotive engineering student at Brighton University with a love for travel, nature, animals and cultural exchange! 🌟

In my free time, I work for an e-commerce company 💻 and stay active by going to the gym, running, swimming, and playing football ⚽🏊‍♂️. I’m also a self-taught pianist 🎹 who loves to learn and play new songs.

At university, I’m proud to be part of the Tamil Society, where I enjoy sharing and celebrating my beautiful culture . My roots are very important to me, and my love for nature stems from my grandparents, who own a farm in rural Sri Lanka 🌾. Growing up, I often visited them and helped with farm tasks, which taught me valuable hands-on skills and a strong work ethic. 💪

🌳 One of my favorite things is being outdoors! Unfortunately, my busy student life has limited this passion, but there’s truly nothing I enjoy more than breathing in fresh air, exploring nature, and connecting with animals. I dream of one day owning a farm or at least having a few dogs and a horse 🐕🐎.

I’m excited about the opportunity to meet new people, learn from others, and contribute my skills to meaningful projects. Whether it’s helping with outdoor work, taking care of animals, or lending a hand with daily tasks, I’m always eager to get involved and give my best.

Let’s create wonderful memories and experiences together—I look forward to hearing from you! ✨

Autres infos...

Beyond my studies and professional experience, I’m passionate about learning from others and engaging in deep conversations on all sorts of topics. I love to chat with people who have more experience and learn from their perspectives—whether it’s about farming, sustainable living, or day-to-day life skills. I’m excited about the idea of settling down on farmland or in a remote area when I’m older, living close to nature with a simpler, self-sustaining lifestyle.

I also enjoy board games and card games—I find them a great way to connect with people and wind down. I appreciate a glass of wine or a beer in moderation, ideally while surrounded by good company and good conversation.

My interests extend to history, politics, and religion, which I find fascinating as they give insight into people, cultures, and societies. I’m also a fan of cars and automotive engineering and have some knowledge about the art and science of vehicles, which I find fascinating!

Finally, I have a broad love for art and music of all genres. I enjoy everything from classical to contemporary, finding inspiration in every style and form. Music and art are important parts of my life, adding richness and perspective to everything I do. 🎶🎨
