Description
# # At the momet i am looking for great projects in nature. since i live in Holland, and i would be driving with my car, i aam only interested in projects in Europe ,because i ont want to driver further than Spain ,Italy, Greece, Turkey and Lituania. so all around Europe is great for me to join at a interesting project andi dont have any preference country . It is more about an interesting project somewhere in Europe##

I am Reza. I have studied Electrical and Automation Engineering and worked in this field for several years in some big industries.Since few years ago.I have started to travel as much as possible to see different things rather than my job. I joined couch-surfing 5 years ago and I did amazing experiences through it.During two years traveling in Asia and middle east , I participated in many volunteering projects such as Sadhana forest (Reforestation project) in India, Eco village Project in Sumatra,Indonesia, Volunteering in Tamen Negara Kuala Lumpor Zoo, Pastoral Vadi Eco Village and resort in South of Turkey,Boating in Mediterranean sea and many other projects in my country Iran like volunteering in Golestan National park with forest rangers. After all of these amazing projects which i made in my life,I decided to take some off during my main job and travel somewhere around the world to experience something quite new in my life,to learn new things,to share my ideas and get new ideas from new people.So this is the reason that I am a member of workaway.

I came to this farm along with my swiss and we both really liked the nature and the lake of burdur from the first moment.
The place itself is located in a very stunning nature and the cute dogs were the main reason of staying for two weeks.

First of all We did not feel… read more
