Description

Hey I’m Damian 31 years old and currently living in my van in the netherlands. Before this I was working as a mobile mechanical engineer for 13 years where I’ve gained good knowledge working all round the uk. Since leaving the uk i have been travelling round Europe for the past 1.5 years in my camper van deciding which is the next path to take in life.
While travelling around Europe I met some really cool people that introduced me to workaway and told me all there amazing stories! I decided this is deffinatly somthing I need to be part of to share my skills, help others, help on projects that matter, meet new people an feed my travel addiction.

I have a wide range of technical ability’s having rebuilt two houses almost by my self acquiring skills sutch as : electrics, woodwork, plumbing, painting and decorating , tiling , gardening.
In my spare time I love being outdoors all kinds of sports mountain biking , snowboarding , hiking , motorbike racing , Scuba diving . I’m also really interested in nature and foraging for wild food especially mushrooms.

So at the minute I’m learning Spanish and would love travel to South America to practice/improve this.
There are several things that I’d like to get involved with and learn about. Eco house building / conservation projects/ restoration projects. Although not limited to just these I’m very open minded.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile an hopefully I can lend some help with your projects.
