Description
Hi there, thanks for having a look at my profil.
I'm Elias and I'm a 24 year old guy from Berlin, but currently living in Vienna. I love traveling as well as volunteering abroad. After I graduated from high school I spent a year in Canada with a working holiday visa. I've wwoofed on four farms in Canada during my time in North America. Working in exchange for food and accommodation is the best way to fully experience a foreign cultur. Wwoofing in Canada was a great opportunity for me to spend time with locals, learn about their culture and way of living as well as making friends abroad.
Workaway seems to be a great program for me to experience the country I'm traveling.
By being a Workaway traveler I hope to be more than a tourist and to try and experience a lot of new things.
I'm basically pretty open for everything and would
Iike to meet locals while travelling.
I also lived in New Zealand for a half a year, where I worked as an intern for my studies. After my internship I travelled New Zealand, Australia and Asia for 6 months. During my travels I used Workaway a lot. That's how I met a lot of nice people and earned a lot of different work experiences.
I'm experienced in volunteering on farms, volunteered at a pet boarding centre and stayed with a family where I did childcare and household tasks. I am pretty open with any kind of work and would also like to participate in other projects on Workaway.
If you are interested in having me as a Workaway traveler. Just send me a message. I will surely reply.
Cheers, Elias

I stayed with Daniele, Alexandra and Aurora and Elisabetta for three weeks during my trip in Italy. These weeks went by ways to fast.

The work we had to do was not hard at all and we had a lot of freetime.
Luke, the host, is very nice and taught us a lot about organic farming on Taiwan.
Staying at this farm is a great place to experience… read more

I stayed at Jeremy and Josie's place for about two weeks. It has been a great time. Jeremy and Josie are very friendly and welcoming people.
I felt home from the first day on.
