Description
I'm an English guy who spent the last 5 years working as an engineer in the UK. I decided it was time to try out living away from the monthly paycheck for a while, and get experience doing work whilst travelling. I like woodworking, beaches, food and making music (mostly guitar but drums and piano too). My main aim is to become a caepenter, start web development and do some busking!

Oli helped us with some general jobs around the homestead and on our new vegetable beds and BBQ pit.
He's a very handy guy that's difficult to stop. I really appreciated the fact that I could just leave him to it. He seemed to enjoy the process just as much as I did. He thinks along with the work.

I spent a little over a week with Jack, Thuy and the family, and it was a special experience. I worked mostly with Jack on building a new vegetable bed, "strawberry hill", a new compost heap, and a big BBQ area.
Jack is relaxed, patient and very kind, which makes him great to work with. Thuy is a superb cook - I don't think I skipped seconds… read more

The Ecofarm is a very special place. The vibe is always relaxed, the people are great, and there are some decent beaches nearby. I leave with fond memories of relaxing in the hammock and deep chats with the other volunteers. The Ecofarm is a wonderful place for artists too, particularly musicians (Çem is often playing the guitar!). Hopefully I'll… read more

I spent a fantastic two weeks with Heidi and Winnie on Wolfe Island in early Oct. I had a great time helping to build a sauna, and Heidi taught me plenty of carpentry tricks along the way. The house and the island are beautiful and the regular (free) ferry service makes it easy to get to nearby Kingston. Winnie is the most affectionate colly… read more

I stayed with Lucile, Tom and Tiky for 20 days and it was a very special experience. They showed me the beautiful region, cooked wonderful food, and patiently helped me with my French (which is very bad). Tom is an excellent guitarist which helped build a lovely ambiance in the evenings. I would thoroughly recommend!

Oli was an AMAZING Workawayer for us! No only is he super friendly, kind and generous, he works really hard with a smile. He is strong and just gets on with the task at hand. We'd have Oli back ANYTIME! Thanks Oli!

Working with Jeff, Oscar and the boys was one of the best experiences of my life. They were welcoming, generous and kind and I felt like part of the family. I had plenty to do on the grounds of the beautiful chateau and enjoyed spending my mornings digging, strimming and hoovering. Fully intend to go back some day. Best of luck to you all!
