Description

Hello !
Nice to see You on my profile :D My name is Mateusz (Matt also works!) and I'm from Poland. I am energetic, flexible and open-minded person with experience in many various jobs. I love outdoor-travelling, cooking and baking, cycling, board games, surfing (know only basics of basics :/), climbing, swimming and a lot of more!

******************************* 2023 EDIT ***********************************
Few months ago I started my remote job. I'm trying to connect it wih travelling, so I am open for volunterring for You afer my 'normal' job hours! If You have quite stable internet connection and need some experienced hands to help - feel free to contact me!
****************************************************************************
I've started my travelling adventure on the beginning of my college studies. It wasn't the easiest thing in the World because I've studied externally (weekend classes and job mon-fri) Automatics and Robotics Control. Let's simplify - I can try to repair most of things which are close to You right now.

So in 2017 I took a part in Work&Travel programme and it was the best time in my life ! These 102 days in California changed my hopes about what life can give me - and the list is long !

At the end of 2020 I've graduated and wanted to quit my job, leave my flat and start to travel but pandemic situation delayed it. TILL NOW.

So before I started my full time job I've worked in many various jobs in UK, USA & Poland. I was working as factory worker (chocolate cereals company, plastic boxes company, curtains company) on production & packing lines. I did also construction work. Since I was studying I started to work in my profession as serviceman/automation specialist firstly in Traffic Lights Controllers Company and then in Boiler Room and Industrial Plant Construction Company.

TO SIMPLIFY:
- gardening? - no problem!
- cooking? - what You'd like to eat? Maybe some polish dish?
- housekeeping? - I know how to make a bedding in California style!
- house jobs? - Just show me the tools!
- electricity? - I'm working with it every day.
- construction? - just hold the ladder, please!
- need a lift? - I have driving license and I love driving ! (and used to drive a lot in my job)

Bassically I think I can help You with a lot! And if I won't know how to do something - I will learn it fast ! I love to work with people and I'm open for new challenges!

I found that place as a Last minute host and it was the jackpot! I helped in the hotel for only 2 weeks but definitely would stay longer if I could! The first week I had a few night shifts at reception and during my second week, I was painting guest rooms. The job was easy and the schedule flexible. The food is not included but You will get … read more

What a time! I stayed one month at Roci's guesthouse and my time was super good! The job isn't hard and it's very flexible (sometimes I worked in the evenings). Mostly I was painting walls and metal structures (easy and satisfying) and helping to keep common areas clean. Two minutes walk and You can get a bus (8 pesos) to the centro (15-40 minutes … read more

No challenge seems to big for him to … read more
