Description
Hey guys,
after 6 years in the automotive industry I decided to make a cut and on 14th August I started a trip around the world. My plan to hitchhike to Scotland didn’t quite work out — tip: don’t tell the UK border patrol that you’re planning to do Workaway, or they might turn you away! So I ended up in Portugal instead and keep heading west to central America. I’m now looking for new opportunities, inspiring people and great stories! -

More details about your skills
I worked for three years as a Sales Engineer, so I know quite a bit about the automotive industry. That also means I’m pretty good with Microsoft Excel — although I guess that’s not super useful here 😄
I’ve got some experience in gardening (I can build a compost!), and I’ve done a bit of plastering, too.
On top of that, I worked in a restaurant twice a month for about ten years.
All in all, I’d say I’m just an average person who can do many things quite well — and I learn quickly and with lots of enthusiasm! :)
During my Workaways I worked at a campsite (cleaning & gardening), two farms/families (farming, construction & renovating), three hostels at reception & social host and in a lodge as a host -

What else ...
I‘m open to everything. I love hiking in the mountains and beeing in the nature. I am also looking for the best swimming spots in the world. I do snowboarding and I can play some chess. I can also teach you a nice card game I have with me

First of all he is good company, he is interested and dedicated to the work.
When he does a task you can be sure it's done very well.
Unfortunately I had to leave after 2,5 weeks, but I enjoyed everyday at the campsite - it's such a hidden gem. Thank you also, Mariano, Anett & Bruno - you're awesome!
My tasks included cleaning the toilets & showers, also the common area as well as some gardening, weeding and other small tasks. After it you may enjoy the … read more
