Activities i am interested in:

After the summer I'm hoping to work in the mountains at a ski-resort and stay there for the season

Description

I'm 20 years old and love traveling around and new experiences. Nothing makes me happier then hiking and setting out goals for myself. Nature is where i like to be most, which is a little ironic because I'm from Amsterdam.

My life goal is to have a hut in the mountains when im older. Thats why i would be stoked to learn more about carpentry and other farm life maintenance tasks.

More details about your skills

I have worked as a rescuer and instructor in a climbing forest, in a kiosk and as a bartender and barback. After highschool I taught skiing in Austria for 3 months. I would say that I'm crafty with my hands while i love doing handwork and making things but i sadly dont have any formal training. However I have helped family and friends with construction and restorations jobs.

I have also put up tents as vacation work, helped at festivals and have worked in a couple of kitchens. I'm the president of the cooking club of my study association.

Age

21

What else ...

I love music, board/card games, reading, serious discussions and not so serious discussions:) Most sports i love and i pick up quite quickly except if its a ball sport. Freerunning and climbing are next to hiking as my top picks.

I'm not very artsy but I put my creativity into cooking and sewing. Besides that i play a little guitar and piano, I'd like to say i can sing but its more that I like to sing haha.

The reason I know about workaway is because around two years ago my mom was a hostess for workaway and it was really fun to have someone in the house. So i thought I'd try it out on the other side.
