Activities i am interested in:

Travelling to South America from November!
I’m looking for a workaway in Uruguay for the end of November and into December. Afterwards I plan to cross through Argentina and head down to southern Chile

Description

Backpacking in Europe and soon….South America
I left Australia in February and travelled overland (and sea) to Aktau, Kazakhstan. After a flight across the Caspian Sea I’ve resumed my “no flights” style of travelling across Europe. I will arrive by ship in South America in November.
I’m looking for a workaway for the end of November and December in Uruguay :)
If I don’t respond during November it could be because I am on a ship heading to Uruguay and won’t have internet.
I generally mix it up between camping and hiking and workaways.

More details about your skills

At home I work as a music teacher. I teach cello and piano primarily. When I am abroad I generally like to do outdoor workaways. Any kind of fruit picking or gardening, dog walking, land clearing…

I travel with my tent. I don’t mind sleeping in it if you don’t have any accomodation to offer.

I’m happy to cook, I’m best at cooking Indian food.

At home one of my hobbies is sewing (I make my own clothes), so if you happened to need any sewing done I can help with this.


I have a Bachelor of IT(computer science)/Bachelor of Arts(ancient history), so may be able to provide some IT assistance.
