Hi, I’m Toby! Along with my wonderful girlfriend, Nelly, we returned to the picturesque Danish island of Bornholm in 2021. We now live on our farm, Lykkely, where we embrace a lifestyle filled with nature, surfing, mountain biking, yoga, and quality time with loved ones. Our mission?

Working on the boat was an amazing and unique experience! The tasks were pretty simple and enjoyable. Toby was a great host: he made sure we were comfortable during our whole stay, he was very helpful when we needed anything and he gave us directions for our work without micromanaging us. I would highly recommend this worldpackers opportunity to anyone looking to gain experience in boat restoration! Tak, Toby, for denne fantastiske oplevelse!

I had a beautiful time during this project🥰 Toby is a great host and I felt welcomed the moment I arrived. He has a big heart and helps wherever it is needed. While working he was always there to join us and explained everything so it was easy to understand the tasks and working together was always fun. Living on a boat was also a great experience that I really enjoyed and Bornholm is a beautiful island which I loved to explore with the other volunteers. I met very nice and friendly people that I already miss❤️ In conclusion I would really recommend this experience😊

It was a true pleasure to work with Toby in Bornholm on his antique the boat! I absolutely loved my stay- some of the work was hard but overall very entertaining- especially if you enjoy painting/sandpapering :P During my stay the weather was a bit chilly (to be expected in April), and unfortunately, since it is not the busy season many things are closed near the harbor... so expect a lot of cold downtime. The boat however, stays cozy at every hour of the day. Would definitely recommend for those looking for an interesting work exchange :):)
