*Currently in Lisbon, Portugal*





Many Greetings and thank you for stopping by at my profile!

I am Anton. A traveler and adventurer from Estonia, yet living across Europe for nearly a decade at the time of writing.

*Why am I on Workaway?*

I've been a Workaway user since 2014 and been on and off the platform ever since. The given platform has given me an opportunity to gain skills and competences I never imagined I would ever gain. I have always been an advocate for lifelong learning, and learning by doing, therefore, I am here to discover projects which help me to hone my skills and learn more, and more, and more! My main motivation is not 'visiting places'. I am very project-oriented and believe in a fair exchange, where I can contribute, and learn something by contributing. :)



*What kind of person am I?*

I am considered to be very calm, composed and laid-back individual, under any circumstances. No stress, no drama :) . A simple and comfortable person to have around.

I enjoy being in the nature, hiking, cycling. Physically fit and strong. Not interested in parties nor noisy places. Comfortable with my own company, but always better with a nice group around! :)

I have a Kindle for reading books and do mobile photography and simple editing projects for myself or social media.
