Description
Hi,
i'm Martin from the Netherlands. I've been travelling to plenty of countries, both during holidays from my (former) job as a truck driver or for a longer period of time (mostly 2019). I love to extensively explore the area that i'm in and learn more about it's culture, language and cuisine. My hobbies are running, skateboarding, surfing and hiking.

I'm new to workaway but i think this is a great way to stay in an area that i like and at the same time keeping myself busy and meeting new people. Outdoors is where i enjoy working the most because it's healthy and i can enjoy the landscape and smell of the local nature.

More details about your skills
Because i'm quite into sports i don't shy away from any (intensive) physical work, i actually enjoy it. I have some experience gardening, although not professionally, from growing and taking care of a few crops at our own garden. I know how to cook and received mostly good feedback for the dishes i've been making for family and friends. I'm a little skeptical at myself regarding this and don't mind some criticism since it's the key to improvement. Other skills that i have include: photography (architecture, landscape. beginner level). driving (car, scooter and box truck), learning or teaching languages (i know 4 languages by now, two of which fluent, but i'm very keen of improving these, teaching others any or to learn a new language).

I spend 5 weeks volunteering at Chris his place. I really liked the peaceful surrounding of his place and was satisfied with the tasks. Chris taught me some new skills also, like working with a grass trimmer for example. The van in which the volunteers get to stay is quite comfortable and has a fridge and plenty of space for storage. I'd describe… read more

Martin stayed with us for five weeks as a volunteer, and I was very happy with his contribution. He worked well and completed his hours reliably and without any concerns. His help was especially valuable in clearing the grounds and removing weeds from the natural stone walls. Martin is also an excellent cook, particularly when it comes to Italian… read more

I hosted Martin at my house for almost a month and he was fantastic. He is a very kind, polite, tidy, serious, helpful guy. He helped me with many jobs in my countryside. He works with precision and meticulousness. He helped me clean the walls from weeds, turn the earth, move branches and stones and more. It was very easy to explain everything to… read more

Massimo was my first workaway host. I went to Triëste on February 26th and left on the 22nd of March (so 3.5 weeks in total).
