Description
Hello, Dear Hostess.
My name is Aleksej. I am 41 years old. I am living in Belarus in Brest city. This city in located on the border with EU that is why I am so often travel in Europe. I am married more than 12 years and have one lovely daughter. I was graduated Brest University named after A. Pushkin, (Bachelor of Science Geographic (Resource management and environmental). Was monitor of the team and captain of the swimming team, member of hiking team). My work experience after university. 2 years like teacher also event planer (celebration, hiking, chaperoned field trips, conferences and seminars), taught Geographic, Biological, Agricultural science to schoolchildren, organized cooperative learning activities. 5 years like project Engineer for environmental protection and industrial hygiene on meat factory, worked as part of a multi-site team to develop, document and implement standards of company aimed at ensuring that implementation of legislation Republic of Belarus and HACCP (ISO 22000) and “The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer”. As your see issue of environmental protections and life harmony with nature are fundamental guidelines in my life. My second life principle is ongoing educations in a format that flexible and agile and I successfully implemented in obtaining of Bachelor of “Logistic and Economy”. Then I have been worked 12 years like a forwarder in different logistics companies like a forwarder. Nothing interesting just office plankton. Now I am working remotely I have had a flexible schedule, which gives me the opportunity to try myself in other other professions. I worked as a cook in Georgian restaurant. Each summer I work as a teacher at a teenage summer camp. Joint creativity and sport activity with teenagers fill me with energy. All my ancestors were from rurar arear and were landowners. So love to working in agriculture in my blood. Never the less my grandpa was professor in university he could not forget his root and first his big purchase was a piece of land in suburb. Grandpa show personal example how to respect work on the land. I was involve from 5 year old in working on our farm. For years we have practically not bought vegetables and some fruit, our land gives to us everything. I have a good knowledge and experience of farm work but without animal husbandry and I want to vanish this gap in my experience and knowledge. You'll make sure I am comfortable with any task, and doing work with enjoy, willing to try hard and positive. I am ready for chopping wood, gardening, painting and etc. Small carpentry skills but enough for making new fences or green house. I will be happy to be a full member of your team and to learn all the skills and knowledge how to work at the farm in your country. I always want to have the dog but I have lived in a small room and my office work could not give full active life for the any dog. I am really respectful and loving to dogs that is why I did not want to destroy their psyche in a narrow space. Only cats were my pets. But some of my friends which have got a dogs offen give to me this pets for weekend. Also I was the handler at the dog show. So I have got some knowledge about general dog care. I am physically fit (I visit gym, good swimmer, volleyball player and physical work on the my farm). My speaking skills are following native Belarus/ Russian, moderate English, Basic Polish. Driving license (I have all category include lorry from 3,5 t -22 t load capacity). I am drag- alcohol and smoking-free person. I am not EU citizen but I have got Polish Card is document confirming belonging to the Polish nation (Poland). That I am part of EU. Based on this documents I got free Schengen visa with period of stay 365 days on EU. I am carry my own insurance. About fifteen years ago I had got some “workaway” experience. I had lived in family in Canada (Ontario province). Easy job around the house and garden. Also few hours per day like baby sitter for adorable twins. We still keep in touch with that family. I could give contact my ex-host on request. It was a wonderful and use full time. Now I want to repeat experience like that. I would like to enjoy the beautiful of the nature, practice native language and English, practice to ride horses, understand culture life, local labor skills, cuisine. I extrimely appreciate the opportunity to be in nature and also spend time with the animals, go fishing, make trips in the surrounding. So that is the part that I can say about myself. Some detail we could discus via what up, zoom or email.

I spent four amazing weeks with Linda in her beautiful villa and I'm so grateful that I had the chance to stay with her. Accomodation is incredibly comfortable: I stayed in a guess house.The main house are amazing: a beautiful, very comfortable house with a fireplace, which made everything even cozier. Every detail showed thoughtfulness and… read more

Left by host (Help me look after the garden ...) for Workawayer ()

Well what can I say, I am very fortunate and have had great workawayers, BUT Aliaksei, is definately above excellent. He never looks at the clock in actual fact I had to various times say he was doing too much, but he likes to start and finish a job. I was at times embarassed at how much work he wanted to do.
At the beginning, I offered breakfast… read more then lunch and dinner, but his routine is different, and because he worked so very hard and it was not a problem for me I let him do his own thing.
He got up and worked about mid morning he was hungry so made himself a big breakfast and more than often he ate the remains from the night before, he had lunch when he wanted and we ate dinner together. If he wanted to go to the beach at 12h00 and came back at 14h00 and then organised himself to eat, he was welcome to do so, because then he carried on working, incredible!!!
I will give you a few examples, I had cut down an olive tree which had died, he cut around and removed the stump and the roots, and because I had crazy marble pavement he filled in with the pavement and you cannot see that there was once a tree. Because I have a big pine tree at the bottom of the garden the roots had uplifted the pavement slightly creating a slope into my dependace so the water was entering the bedroom, he dug a channel and inserted a grill so the water flowed into the channel and ended up in the bushes, he emptied my pool and redid the grounting on tiles where the water hit, he removed old bushes with enormous roots along the side of a wall so that I could plant tomatoes, he found out why my small bushes were dying, because of a caterpillar and elimiated the problem, and I can go on and on. I am 68 years old, he would never let me lift anything heavy and if I did so, would say Linda I am here for this , This was his first workaway experience but I can assure you and if workaway representatives allow it I would be more than happy to speak to whoever whishes to contact me to confirm how wonderful he was.
He does however have a job and needs a good internet connection because he works in logistics and tracks containers from america so works in the evening because of the time difference and so whoever offers him an experience must have a good internet connection.
I must also say that I have 14 cats and three dogs and he wast the most loving person towards them, having a villa with a big garden sometimes we have a few 'guests' and he would say we have a couple of wild cats can I give them some food? He cuddled my dogs and cats as if they were his own, and because my dogs are old and spoiled when it was raining they didnt want to go outside, but he patiently coaxed them and one of my dogs is like a vacum cleaner whatever drops he eats so he would walk around the house having him follow him for excersise!!! In actual fact it was quite funny.
At the moment it is 18H10 and I can here him still working and although he is leaving the day after tomorrow early, he has alreaday told me what he wants to do before he leaves.
I must have done something right in my past life to have deserved such a fantastic person
