Description

Bonjour, Hi, Gamarjoba!
I am 49 with a young heart and an open mind. I am presently taking a sabbatical from my busy life in Montreal and my heart was set in Georgia as I feel a deep connection with this country. Being a foodie and having an interest in wines (not just drinking it) this country have been on my bucket list for quite a long time!
I have travelled quite a lot in my life and have always privilege slow-travel.
I have been in Georgia for 3 months already and in that time I have explored the country sights, started to learn the language and have been exploring local delights !
As I will be here for some time, I would really like to dig into the local culture and I feel that doing some "workaway" would definitely be good way for me to do so.
I believe that The journey IS the destination!!
You will find below a list of my skills, but on the personal level I can say that I am a positive and outgoing person that love to connect with people from different horizons (age and culture). I love to laugh and have a good time. I am a hard working and experience great satisfaction of a job well done in good spirit. I am a good listener, fast learner, curious and meticulous. I am creative and have a lot of initiative.

How can I help? This is my motto this year as I am taking a leap year from my busy life in Montreal to travel and connect with the Georgian culture.
In my Montreal life I presently work in the movie industry in the art department. Before that, I had a business venture in the food industry where I owned and operated an organic-local food market for 6 years. These experiences have forged me in being hard working, flexible and most of all, made me a good communicator with team co-workers. I have a lot of initiative and I am a problem solver. I appreciate as much doing physical work as administrative and managerial tasks.
An important lesson I have learn is that: Alone you may go quicker, but with a team, you go further!
I am artsy with a geeky side, especially when it come to wines.
I am also quite handy and love to build and restaure stuff. I have an eye for creating nice spaces from scratch. I also like to organize things, not mental about it, but I do like organized and functional spaces. I also have a solid background in business developement and marketing ..so if it something you would like my experience for, always glad to share insights.
I am outgoing and have good human skills when it come to people.
I am definitely a foodie and I love to cook!
