Description
Hello! I’m Geoff from Ireland. After making my way across Europe by bicycle over the last 3/4 years I’ve decided its time to
travel back to Germany and work on projects there. From France to Greece I have met a lot of interesting people and have learned a lot about the world.
I have worked on different farms and renovation projects over the last few years that Involve permaculture, Gardening, Tree Care and Different tools/machinery. I have also worked in different restaurants and hotels gaining experience in a professional environments. From cleaning to cooking I feel comfortable with both. I love the change from traveling in nature to working hard in a kitchen as it gives me a well rounded experience.
I have experience in Outdoor education as I have also worked as an instructor for some years in various sports.
For me it’s important to spend some time in a place to really get to know a culture and how day to day life works. I love meeting people with a passion. Working in Nature has been a part of my life for the last while but I am open to different kinds of projects.
Music is one of my passions so I will hopefully find some fellow musicians along the way too.
I will always do my best and help in anyway I can. Hopefully after traveling through Workaway I will have enough experience and skills to start a project one day.

What else ...
Enjoy practical work in the Outdoors. I have completed a degree in Outdoor education where we covered a lot of subjects over the three years on the environment, socialcare Geology etc. I was working as a multi-activity instructor in Ireland. Instructing different sports with people of all ages it required me to take responsibility for large groups, making sure they were safe at all times during the activities. When it comes to animal care I was working with horses mostly in the care side of things, feeding/cleaning etc. But I'm proficient in Horse riding after doing lessons and exercising the horses. I am flexible and adaptable to new situations. I really enjoy working/learning from others as I have so much to learn.

Patrick, Sophie and Juliette were like rays of sunshine, such a creative, artistic, warm family. I felt at home as soon as I stepped in the door. I have so many great memories from my time here that I will cherish forever.
