Description

I grew up in a small town (kibbutz) on top of a mountain in the Galilee in the north of Israel. So we always had a strong connection to nature, agriculture, and a strong community life where neighbors help each other out. While growing up, I used to work in various agricultural fields such as the Kiwi fields and Vineyards, and worked quite a lot at the town’s chicken farm and cowshed. The village is pretty peaceful and most of us went to a mixed Arab and Jewish primary school, where I learned to speak Arabic and the importance of co-existing, especially in Israel. When I finished school, I discovered the love for traveling and since getting the travel bug, I haven't really looked back. I got a one-way ticket to Amsterdam, lived and worked in a moving company (Umzug) in Berlin for a while, then passed by the Czech Republic and backpacked in other countries in the EU before heading to see my family in the UK. Eventually, I came back to the CZ and started a bachelor's program in International Relations and EU Politics, and before I knew it, two years had already passed. Although I am happy where I'm at, I realized that city life is not so for me so discovering Workaway was one of the best revelations ever. It has all my favorite components like learning about different cultures, working with our hands, being outdoors and reconnecting to mother nature, and meeting new people while discovering new places. I realized that getting to places I can't pronounce correctly is always an adventure. This community is truly awesome, and I would love to explore more.

More details about your skills

My skills include various handy-man skills. I am a hard-worker and enjoy working with my hands and discovering new skills!
I have been working in agriculture and farms since the age of 14 during the summers, went to the military (tank brigade), later worked in an organic cafe, in a moving company in Berlin, a carpentry in Brno and nowadays as a bartender and a security guard. I also play football in a semi-pro team. In general I feel fortunate to gain these working skills but I am eager to learn more so I can be more self reliant and maybe even teach others.

26

What else ...

I would say I have many hobbies and interests. I like to hike and to chill in the nature, read, I love art and tattoos, music, sports and play a lot of football (soccer for the Americans), I love food and I like to talk with people about everything and socialize. I also like to take some time for myself to reflect and to create. Overall, I am an open minded person who believes in equality and appreciates the opportunity to be able to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds.
