  • Description

    Hello

    I,m a 37 Years young happy, positive go lucky of an Irish Pirate
    (physical fit for any type of work, don't smoke ) to who has been away
    from his homeland for the past 6 years working and living in a houseboat in Venice, Italy.
    coming from quite a large Irish farm (Meath) family of 8 been the adventurous one of all
    and only one to have lived abroad,
    and as of now my eyes again set the shorelines, my feet, the lands of Eire
    my plan is to do workaway\workaways following the sun over the winter months.

    people who know me would say:
    I’m giving, warm, Self-sufficient, artist, kind, compassionate, story-teller, comforting, unselfish,
    an oddball ( sure aren't we all ) reliable, spiritual, animal lover, passion for cooking.

    I've just finished a month's workaway ( 14/7/2020 - 14/8/2020 ) in Tarragona Spain an
    isolated organic farm yoga retreat from a British lady called Blue.
    it had been an amazing experience after living for so long in a city, as to say that the
    countryside life never left me.

    My decision to use workaway has been primarily to gain knowledge in areas to expand
    in my own life projects to were ever I may land. Examples:
    Off-grid living, sustainable living, organic vegetable growing,
    Vegan cooking, animal sitting,
    Piano, people interaction
    and to exchange skill sets for others.

    Been an Introvert. I breathe in solitude and when with people I learn of myself, easy and
    comfortable both ways, giving and tested patience as I was an English mother tongue
    Teacher to 5-10 yrs & one to one with adults in Venice as for my other jobs there:
    I work as a bartender in a 206 bedroom hostel called the Generator after
    I ran my Own Airbnb, Cat & Dog sitting, Boat Driving Lessons,
    worked with the Venice biennial Art Fair & Architecture 4 yrs , Gardening,
    restoration of old traditional Venetian boats in a Gondola work yard.
    I ran my own boat tours, story telling of history past through Venice's Ghost stories,
    Volunteering in a community-based project called Povegila per tutti.
    I live life through the colors of flavors with a dance in my step

    In my spare time you'd find me, exploring the surrounding land, practicing Plant based cooking, Yoga, Mediation, projects with friends, reading, piano, looking for street Cat's.

    looking forward to hearing back from you via message, mobile or even video call

    Kind Regards
    Daryl Irish Pirate
