Description
Welcome on my profile! My real name is Benedict but everyone calls me Ben so that is my name! I'm now 26 and I am currently looking to travel around Europe for long or short stays.
My ideal workaway would be in a hostel since I have had other experiences with workaway and other websites, I always enjoy team work and the bond you create with other workers and the hosts. I enjoy practicing also the languages I am studying (spanish, french and german) with the guests or the workers. I am also lucky enough to be bilingual and fluent in both english and italian.
Besides workaways and other hostel jobs in the summer of 2017 I went to South Africa for a work experience again as a volunteer. I stayed there for a month working at a rehabilitation centre for monkeys. The working day was from 7 am till 4 pm every day with one afternoon off per week. We were divided into teams and the jobs included: cleaning the monkeys’ enclosures; cleaning and chopping fruit with machetes to feed the monkeys; searching for and harvesting grass from the bush as other food to feed them. There were also a lot of general cleaning jobs to do around the site. The first few days were tough getting used to the work schedule and a new culture but after a week I really got into it and got to know a lot of the other volunteers and the whole experience was really satisfying and enjoyable.
Before Covid I was travelling a lot and I did some workaways up to the end of 2019. Since then I haven't done any other workaways but starting from January 2024 I am planning to start getting back into travelling and hopefully find a place for a long stay or even short stay.
