About Me

Hi there, We are a father and son team, myself Alex and Raj (aka Will). We are on an adventure through Greece for about 8 weeks.

We are looking to find a balance between seeing some of the classic historical sites of mythological significance and immerse in the culture of the people of today :)

We'd like to find some hosts that we can help with any tasks and stay for about a week or two.

We don't have any special needs and are happy with simple accommodation and food.

My background and passion is in soil rehabilitation, organic agriculture, permaculture. Previously made compost professionally. I have also been in building and construction for 15 years with some experience in almost everything. Carpentry, concreting, metal work, plumbing, Earthworks, civil works, licenced rigger and general handyman. I have also alotof experience with festivals and events setting up sites and production.

I love to cook and spend alot of time in the kitchen... It's my happy place. I also love playing music and I will have my trombone with me.

Raj is 12 years old and is a friendly, confident young man who loves to play soccer and basketball. He is very helpful and capable of any tasks he can be shown. He loves animals and taking care of them. He likes to read books, plays the guitar and loves souvlaki :)

We arrive in Athens on 7th October a.m. and plan to stay long enough to explore a bit and then head North to Mt Olympus and then make our way south possibly down the coast. We'd like to spend some time in nature and explore the coast and islands.

As you can see our schedule is flexible and open to workaway/help x situations as is needed

We look forward to meeting you and helping where we can :)
