Description

I am from New Zealand and have taken the rest of the year off work to travel Europe and experience new opportunities. I have just completed a five year plumbing/gasfitting/drainlaying apprenticeship. I grew up in Queenstown,NZ which is an alpine town known for hikes and amazing nature, this has made me very passionate about nature. I am looking for any opportunity to work with local people anywhere in Europe. In exchange I would want accomodation and some time to learn about your way of life. I love meeting new people and learning new things.

Ben is a stand up guy and we had a blast hosting him. He got the skills to pay the bills, without the thrills he'll run the drills. Though short we would have loved to host him longer. Appreciate the energy and the upgrades he helped setup.

Had a great week staying with this family in Opinogóra Górna. They are all easy-going and happy people that appreciate you being there. The work I did was all outdoor work which varied from day to day. The food is great and the property is a calm relaxed space. Thank you for having me , I would recommend these hosts for any other workawayers
