Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am Sydney born Australian 31 year old male. I am currently doing my PhD in Biodiversity at the University of Malta. I did my Masters in Agriculture in Germany Goettingen. I am looking for the opportunity to work, learn new culture and take a break .

I've done three workaways (France, Swiss, Italy - which were all 1-3 months long - which were amazing memories for me) and more cultural stays. I enjoy research on innovative new food like cactus, duckweed, insects and seaweed. My particular interest is in Fichi d'India (or Prickly pear). I have since 2014 lived out side Australia for more then 8 years studying travelling to 30 + countries in that time.

I am really passionate about food and agriculture and love to see new landscapes and peoples interaction with food. I really enjoy also sharing local people lives and get a feel for the culture of places rather then touristic places. I am really old fashioned and I collect postcards from all my travels sending them home to Sydney.
