Travel information

Description

My name is Colin,i am originally from the UK, but i have been a Hungarian resident for a long time.My wife and I travel for around seven months of the year in our home made camper,we have done this for since 2021,since our youngest left for university,(we have a boy and a girl).My wife has to return to work for a month or so every now and then during the year,so I like to keep busy and Workaway and Worldpackers help me do this. I enjoy learning about different cultures, gaining new skills, exchanging experiences. I like helping people, have always found joy in DIY projects. I believe that Workaway is a great platform for connecting in a way that is beneficial for both the host and the volunteer. For the past 9 years I have worked for a construction company,mostly with the concrete side of the business but also helping out in all other parts of the company.I really enjoy this type of work,mostly as I love to be outdoors in any weather.Before this i was a truck driver throughout Europe and The Middle East.
