Description
Hello there, my name is Jakub and I have been mostly doing workaways since the start of this year :).
Travelling to fulfill my dream of seeing the world and to learn more in-depth about cultures, languages and too try good food :D
I would describe myself as adventurous person, I love learning and doing new things, although I am not scared of more stable premises, also I have can-do approach most of the time :).
Right now I am trying to find places mostly related to hospitality and tourism, after I discovered that I am a natural host (at least I think that).
I would enjoy to experience sustainable life and permaculture first-hand.
I want to learn some manual skills, like carpentry, building, repairing things, as I never had many opportunities to do so. I am not afraid of any work and I am really open to new experiences, people and cultures as well as being optimistic ;). I integrate very easily and really like helping others.
Regarding my background I was studying economy related major, but worked mainly in IT related office jobs. Apart from that I was private tutor for some time (English and Mathematics)
Generally I like sports and keeping active, especially volleyball and cycling.

I would say that my biggest skill and interest lies in cooking, and all areas related to that. My favorite discipline is something that I call "scrap cooking", which is basically making something tasty from what is left :). I was also making my own cider and wine for some time, with quite good results. Since I was working in IT I am quite adept with computers, analysis and bit of programming too.
I was also sailing a couple of times, so know my way around . In any case, I am eager to learn and learn quickly new things, so this section will be growing ;).
