Description
Kind greetings! This is Dominik from Germany. I am helpful, reliable and used to working both independently as well as together with other people. In any case, I act responsibly and with a can-do attitude.
Being a bit of an introvert, I nonetheless am energetic, enjoy socializing and am easy to get along and have fun with :)
As a keen backpack traveller, I am on an open-ended journey through the world to visit countries for longer stays and get to know their marvelous facets.

More details about your skills
I enjoy hands-on work, be it physically demanding labor in the outdoors and garden, or most manual and household chores. During my previous workaways I learned a lot about gardening, landwork, pruning, operating agricultural machinery, among others. Following a quick instruction, I feel confident to assist you well with all sorts of practical tasks.
Having earned a Master’s in economics and gained working experience as an editor in broadcasting, I am computer- and media-savvy. I look into working creatively as well and am confident to be able to adapt well to most working environments. Prior to my studies I did full-time community service in a kindergarten and worked as private tutor and homework supervision for children of various age groups.
My most useful skill, I hope, is being a quick and motivated learner who is curious to pick up new skills and get the job done.

Very keen to help with whatever we asked him to do. He has such a great work ethic and mentality but mostly he is just a very trustful, clever, friendly and modest person to have around. Super friendly and intelligent and we enjoyed his company very much.… read more
