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

Elias was part of our family and the farm for 10 days.
He is very nice, loves children and helpful. He also integrated well into our team when it came to farm help.
We will miss him forever.
And would happily recommend him.
