  Description

  I used to use workaway when I was younger to learn new skills and actually got lots of experience for my engineering career. Now I would like to be a host and meet more people and support them as I got from other hosts here!
  
  I recently bought a boat for living with my girlfriend. There are a lot of various tasks, construction, wood, social media marketing etc. The boat is around 200m2 but under-construction. We would like to find some volunteers who are interested in boat, engineering or marketing :) The boat is usually staying in 1 fixed spot, so not much sailing chances.
  
  We can host couple, they will have their own room and bathroom ( that still under-construction) and soon a living room for themselves. Of course! If you are also individual, you are super welcome.
  
  The volunteers will work autonomously during the workdays by having different tasks. If you would like to learn a new skill or want to work together, the working hours will be slightly different as we have full time job. The working together time will be mainly in the afternoon and evening.
  
  We speak English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, some basic Portuguese and in the process to learn german for both!
