  • Description

    Hi there, my son, partner and I are travelling (by bus and sometimes train), and hopefully occasionally workaway-ing, parts of the Americas (we're from Europe) from September 2022 to April 2023. Ulrike and I are both interested and somewhat experienced in gardening, Ulrike is a teacher and I am experienced in various works around the house. My left arm is still recovering a bit from a traffic acident but now back to about 80%.

    More details about my language interests
    We're native German speakers, quite fluent in English and have different beginner to intermediate levels of Spanish. Besides German of course we also think that we can help with English to beginners and intermediate-level learners. Our main language interest is improving our Spanish but we will also benefit from talking English.

  • More details about your skills

    Usually a wide range of garden (digging, weeding, planting, cutting), wood, house (e.g. tiling, plastering) and household works. Right now my left arm is mostly useless (fractured shoulder), still willing to try most work one-handed, what should probably work quite well is painting, dishwashing, vacuum cleaning, weeding, lawn mowing and harvesting.
