More details about your skills

I am an eager tinkerer - good at fixing things like household and electrical goods. I like to make a good contribution to the places I visit. I enjoy nutting out problems in detail and have the patience and determination to resolve them. I am not very experienced at gardening, but I am certainly willing to put my hand to anything. I can be very focused on most tasks.

Age

60

What else ...

I have travelled around New Zealand many times now. This is my first year retired so my focus is very different and I now have the time to spend getting to know places and people a lot better. This is my first time as a Workaway but I have only heard good things about this scheme in terms of exchanging ideas, skills and knowledge. I really like the whole concept and would love to get involved.
