Travel information

Description

I'm Victor from Canada. I'm here because I'm happiest when im outdoors. I love animals, rural life, and I'm really interested in learning more about self-sufficiency and low-impact lifestyles. I've found that Workaway is an awesome way to grow by helping and meeting new people and experiencing new things! When I'm not working, I'm hiking, camping, reading, and trying to teach myself new skills. My studies in Canada were in history and philosophy.

More details about your skills

- gardening, I grew up helping my parents grow beans, tomatoes, and more in our backyard gardens.
- woodworking, I spent years doing set construction for theatres, building stairs, ramps, railings, walls, etc. I'm very comfortable with handtools and electric tools, but I always want to learn more and get better
- Customer service, I was formally trained in customer service, and every job I've had has required me to train new staff and collaborate in large teams, so if I wasn't fun or easy to work with I would have been pretty terrible at my previous jobs
- I've painted a lot, so I have no trouble with interior painting.
- English native speaker, currently learning intermediate/advanced French.
- I love cooking for other people (way more than I enjoy cooking for myself!), and that motivates me to find new recipes and push my abilities in the kitchen

What else ...

My most niche skill is that I was a technician for my university's theatre and music departments for 4 years: construction and carpentry, audio mixing, theatrical lighting, etc. I also have chainsaw experience!
