Beschreibung

Ola!

I am a native Australian but also half-raised in the beautiful land of New Zealand. After turning 18 and finishing school I set off to Europe with one of my good friends. We spent our first months having an awesome time and eventually he went home and I stayed. Here I am almost 4 years later.

Here are my skills, hobbies and interests.

Playing and Creating Music -
- I love guitar, singing and also enjoy working whilst listening to music. This is one of my main passions in life. I perform in the street as my main source of income at the moment.

Gardening, Painting, Building, General Maintenance -

- I have worked in Croatia, Spain and Portugal as a labourer/handyman and am familiar with all power tools, the process of constructing and have learnt to repair or replace things that are broken. I also spent time in Portugal as a gardener and enjoy working around nature very much. I have experience in boat reconstruction and maintenance too.
Painting alongside gardening are my two strongest skills where I have most experience.
However, I am a tall strong male and have plenty of experience with heavy lifting and enjoy physically challenging work.

Tourism and Hospitality
- I am experienced in bar work, reception, promoting/flyering. Social work is enjoyable and I have no problem in big crowds.

Swimming and Sailing

- Being a competitive swimmer for 10 years, I have no problems being in the water and sometimes feel more comfortable being in than out. The Ocean is also another main passion in my life and I prefer to always be living near a body of water. During the winter of 2020/21 I was a crewmember on a Yacht and have learnt the basics of sailing and have a dream one day to own my own ship!

Language -
- I enjoy very much learning the language of the country I am residing in and so far I have learnt to speak Portugues to a good standard, French and Spanish respectively to a lower but equal level and also bits and pieces of Croatian and Czech. I am currently learning Portugues .

Cooking -
- Having to be resourceful over the last few years, I have also learnt to become creative with my skills in the kitchen. When I am not able to play music, I can find peace in cooking and very much enjoy talks in the kitchen. I have also worked in Restaurants as an assistant chef.

Photography -
- In the future I am looking to further develop my skills in Photography after realising it goes hand in hand with travelling. This is undeniably another passion of mine. At the moment I am without my own camera but know my way around them and always happy to help take photos or videos.

Meditation -
- This is an ongoing, growing interest of mine and I love to meditate to find peace and stability whilst being on the road.

I am easy going, hard working and committed. Being friendly to everyone around me is important and I'm always happy to give or help where it's possible whilst trying to keep a smile on my face :)

Was könntest du arbeiten?

Being a musician I love it when music brings people together and I always like Jamming with others while i'm on the guitar, singing or playing harmonica.

My main sport in School was swimming and I have been to the National level in Australia whilst also participating in Surf Life Saving squads in Noosa, QLD. I can board or swim comfortably in all waters and am a decent surfer.

I have experience in managing and organising events and staff. I treat everyone around me fairly and love it when we can all be friends at work as that benefits much more than if we aren't.

When I was working in hostels in Portugal and Czech Republic I enjoyed cooking for the guests every 2nd night and then sitting around playing games afterwards or going out to a bar. I also used to change the beds, mop floors and worked reception, including night shifts.

Photography is a newly discovered passion of mine and currently I am shooting on a nice 35mm film camera which I am planning on purchasing new lenses and expanding my knowledge of photography.
