I love nature, and I want to preserve it.My next destination:
Portugal - from Nov 2021 until May 2022 View allDescription
My trip all around Europe as a volunteer started in May 2017, when I left my previous life behind as an employee in Budapest, mainly in IT, Marketing and recrutment. At the very beginning, I was using an other platforms than Workaway, this is why you won't be able to see all I did till today.
IMPORTANT: Very often, average time of work required is 25h per week, but I always offer 20 efficient hours a week (so 4h per day but I am flexible how to schedule them). I never got any of my host disappointed, and I have more time to manage my work online, please refer to my feedbacks.
My skills:
I am very handy, efficient, pragmatic and very punctual person.
My favourite tasks are related to woodwork, forestry and gardening, but I have also a great experience in:
- All kind of building and renovation work indoor & outdoor (including stones, bricks etc)
- Children care (low age to teenagers)
- Animal care, I specially love dogs (I go for a run with) and horses (I can ride)
- Agriculture & Permaculture (lot of experience in olive, pistachio and grape harvest)
It is always a pleasure to participate to the family life, but I know also how to be discreet and enjoy myself on my own. I am usually in charge of projects, on my own or with a team, micromanagement won't be necessary with me, so if you are looking for someone proactive and focus on what needs to be done and when, you can count on me.
During those 5 years trip, I did not do only workaway, it happened that I made a break to start a business (Real estate in sicily) or get a degree (massage certificate in England).
Now I am in Portugal since November 2021 and I would like to stay at least till May 2022.Interests
