Beschreibung
Hello everyone,
I am basically retired but still very active in many ways. I worked as a self employed carpenter, woodworker most of my life and was raised on an organic farm and still garden at home. I've have had formal training in carpentry as a young man, also have had formal training in traditional wood boat building and have built several wooden boats. My pace has slowed a bit over the years but I can still put in a fair days work. My friends say I am a fairly good cook also. I can be a conversationalist when the time is right, but can keep myself entertained when need be.

Vom Workawayer (Paul) für Host für (Come and help with rescue ...)

Well past time that I should have left a feedback. And I am giving the New York sheep farm a blue ribbon. It was the most easy workaways I've had to be productive. They show their appreciation readily for hard work. (A person is always more productive when they feel appreciated). Everyone works on the farm, but come on folks it's Workaway not… read more

Paul is the oldest Workawayer whom we have hosted at our farm and he was truly a breath of fresh air. It is always wonderful to get a "new" perspective on life and I really enjoyed my chats with him! He finished renovating our mudroom... a job that we had started, but was way way beyond our capabilities... lol He also built two benches for it...… read more

I truly feel blessed being part of Workaway. Without it I would never meet people like Paul and Michel. They are truly an asset to the program. They have dreams and not afraid to reach for them. If you ever have the chance to spend time with them don't pass it up. Thank you both very much.

What a wonderful experience. You won't be just a volunteer. The community has a emphasis on spirituality but much, much more. You are made to feel accepted for who you are and appreciated for what you do from day one.

It is a family and in all families feathers do get ruffled from time to time, but there is more than enough positive energy to… read more

We invited Paul to come because we were looking for someone with carpentry skills – but Paul has a lot more to share than just that. He can look around a place and see what is needed – which is very helpful in a center with many buildings, too many things to do, and several very neglected areas! He right away got going organizing our chaotic shop,… read more

If you decide to volunteer at the Buddhist center I do believe you will find positives. I was there this winter for a time and found many. The full-time staff Is fully committed to their commitments and are assets to their community. Buddhism is at the center of their faith and is offered, shared but is never pushed. There are some negatives but… read more

I was looking for change of pace and my did i get it. I certainly received a fine experience and I only hope I gave something in return. A special thanks to Malgosia for giving the changes. The venue was a nice place and as far as the food all I can say is, I gained weight. And maybe the best is I know I made at least two lifelong friends. If you… read more

My only regrets with going to Ireland and staying with Veronica is not being able to have done more to help achieve her dream, It seems to me that most of her dreams are already met. Two wonderful children good friends and a pretty cool puppy dog. Also living with panoramic beauty of nature all around. And let's not forget a thriving massage and… read more

I just spent a month at Maaike & Joop home in the Netherlands. If restoration of a deserving Dutch Farmstead is for you this is the place to be. Joop is knowledgeable,skilled and passionate about his work and is willing to pass it on. To meet, spend time and live under Maaike's roof is a true joy. Thanks to both of you, I know the place will turn… read more

Paul was our first workawayer ever - and couldn´t be better! He left our place this morning after three-week-stay. He is a real handyman: a person skilled at a wide range of repairs and maintenance work in the house & yard. He is not only skillful and experienced but also flexible and open-minded. It would be lovely to publish some photos and show… read more

Paul is a master in recycling of anything old made from wood or iron that one can find around a farm yard and makes them into imaginative useful everyday objects.
That is why lots of new things were created in the two rained-off weeks that Paul spent with us, with his great enthusiasm with the joinery machines. These articles will be of great use… read more

I have just returned from Australia and had the good fortune of being hosted by Gabriele. Her farm must be one of the prettiest places on earth. The love of her land and the care she gives to her animals certainly stands out. She also owns the prettiest wood cook stove I have ever seen and has certainly mastered the use of it. Thank you Gabriele

Paul was more than 2 weeks with us. Its a pity, that we cant put pictures on this feedback, since the staircase, the bench and the ladder he built for us would be nice to show on the website here.
Together with another helper we had a great time in our place and visiting hungarian countryside places. He is reliable and he was even housesitting,… read more

I am setting here at my computer in the wee hours of the morning with jet lag from just returning from Hungary from spent time with IIdiko and Matthias. I can ditto every good thing everyone has said about them ,their village and their friends. My only regrets are that I can't post more than four smiley faces. Should be at least a dozen.
