Share electro-mechanical skills with a great host in Belgrade, Serbia

  Beschreibung

  Hi! I have been on another platform since 2007 (and before that on another) and I just love meeting new people from different cultures. And now, after probably more than 500 guests, I thought that I could find people that could also help me with a few things that I am not skilled at - in exchange of course for accommodation and food. I am married, we got a baby boy in January 2024 so currently we are hosting a bit less than before. We have no pets, we are fairly easygoing. We don't smoke and would prefer if guests don't smoke (but it's OK to do it on the balcony).

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We have been told by many travelers that we are good and polite hosts. We show people around and know a lot about local history. We like to go on short car trips during the weekends, and guests are welcome to come with us. We have a spare bicycle to offer for those that like to discover the city on a bike :-)

  Arbeit

  - Since January 2024 we have a baby boy! We don't need much help with him, since my wife Carolina is on a maternety leave, and I work from home. But it's nice to have someone to give us a hand around the house.
  - My hobby is collecting and maintaining Hi-Fi devices (amplifiers, cassette decks...). Most of them are 20 or more years old and they require regular maintenance and also repair. It ranges from simple maintenance (cleaning the switches and pots...), via simple repair (changing of rubber belts, diagnostics, and fixing simple electro-mechanical issues) but if you know how to do more complex electrical circuits diagnostics or mechanical repair, that is a great bonus which I will be happy to financially compensate.
  - Besides that, we always have some "home improvement" projects that I would benefit from someone's help: for example, installing bookshelves, putting cables through the walls.
  - Additionally, there are always complex things with my (complicated) home computer network and computers that I would love to solve.
  - Art projects: not sure what exactly this category means on Workaway, but I have several fun projects I am working on and I think they could be fun to share with workawayers.
  - We are NOT looking for someone to help us clean the house and do this type of work; we are hoping to host someone that has these "electro-mechanical" skills, even if they are just soldering connectors and cables :-) but (as mentioned above) it can really be many other things that I will benefit in having a helping hand.

  Unterkunft

  We have a separate comfy guestroom, with a work desk, small sofa, access to a small balcony, and its own audio system :-) My apartment is relatively small, it has a nice living room, small kitchen and (only) one bathroom. The location of my apartment is quite good - you can get to the very center of the city in less than 15 minutes by a public transportation.

  Was noch ...

  Belgrade is not a very photogenic city, but it has an abundance of charm and activities to offer during all seasons. The city is very "alive", there is always some interesting activity going on. Locals are very friendly with foreigners. Serbia in general is not an expensive country.

  Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans

  While it's not always easy to find a parking for a campervan near my apartment building, the parking in our neighborhood is free of charge.
