Description
I'm Ben, originally from county Derry, Ireland. In September 2024 I will be finished my master's degree and wanting to gloriously vacate and work for a while. I'm a lover of good conversation, travelling and meeting new people. I am autistic. My hobbies include film, cycling, puzzles and photography. I am a huge believer in the power of art and experience, hence why I've signed up to Workaway. I like working with my hands, creating things and learning how to work with tools and crafting.
I would say I have a nomadic spirit - I am tired of living in my home country and remaining stationary for a long time. I am more confident and eager than ever to get out and about.

More details about your skills
My main area of expertise is most certainly photography & video. I love photographing things especially I have a keen special interest in it. I'm a freelance photographer and videographer in my home country. I am always on the look out for interesting things, places and people to photograph and will gladly share tips or help out with anything. I've provided a lot of profile pictures for people before and always game to provide coverage or documenting things.
Besides this I am great at working with my hands. I enjoy puzzle solving and finding solutions whilst implenmenting. Through Workaway I have had good experience with capentry, joinery, animal care, and instaling shelves. I have no training nor background in carpentry until I tried Workaway and I've found to really enjoy it. I can't promise to be fluent in DIY skills but I am happy to try my best.
In the past I have worked in a few industries besides media, such as hospitality, retail, sales and office. I am very computer literate also and can use a number of different softwares and stuff.
I consider myself an easy person to talk and engage with - a chill person. As I may have mentioned I love getting to know new people and one area I also love is language and linguistics. I adore studying languages and recon my best second language is French. I also have some grasp on Italian, Spanish and German. When I have had the chance to converse with a native speaker of any of these languages they are always charmed by my attempts to speak it, even if they fall short.
