Description
Greetings fellow Workawayers!
My name is Patrick. I'm a financial journalist from the UK, but my dream is to invest in a small plot of land in Latin America and become self-sufficient.
The problem is, I don't have much experience of living off the land, so I've joined Workaway in order to fix that.
I'm interested in learning about all types of farming, but I'm especially interested in cattle farming.
So my plan for the next year or so is to travel around Latin America and to volunteer on various farms.
This will help me to improve my Spanish, and it will also give me a taste of how hard this line of work really is.
Many people have warned me that living off the land is not easy, so I am here to find out for myself whether that is true.
PS I am also a qualified English teacher (TEFL-certified), and I have experience of working in content creation, social media and video editing, and I have experience in hospitality settings.
I add these details so that hosts have some idea of my wider skill set.
