  Our Workawayers need to have excellent communication skills and be fluent in English language. They also need to be independent, flexible and preferably older than 20 yrs old. This is an isolated place and people need to be self-sufficient and ready to stay in one place for long periods of time. The tasks vary and can change from day to day, so being flexible and capable of doing different kinds of tasks is important. You will be sharing a house with different people, so good communication skills and understanding of others is essential.
  
  This is an isolated place, wiht no publich transprotation. So you need to rely on getting a lift to the nearest bus station or town. It is important that the volunteers have other interests and are self-sufficient when it comes to entertainment.
