  • Description

    Hi,

    I'm currently living in Brussels after travelling for 6 years. I travelled from Europe via Africa to South America, boat hitch hiking to cross the Atlantic Ocean and hop on most of the Carribean Islands. After that I spent more than 3 years in South-America.
    I participated in many volunteering projects that I found via via or through social media groups. Hence, I don't have many reviews on my Workaway profile, but don't hesitate to ask me more details. Some of my experiences are the following:

    * Sailing: night watches, rigging, dinghy driving, cooking while sailing ;)
    * Bioconstruction: Adobe, super adobe, mud and bamboo
    * Gardening: maintenance, clearing bushes, making fences, planting
    * Mural paintings
    * Hostels: Reception, cleaning, preparing breakfast, managing reservations, tourist info
    * Animal care: feeding dogs, cats, goats, cows, ducks, rabbits. Cleaning enclosures or coops.

    In Brussels I used to work for a theatre company. I have experience in organising small events, communication, promotion, networking.

    I've been doing some glass art in the past

    My motivation for volunteering is to get to know the world in a different way and learning new skills.

    Things I'd like to learn or try:

    Wildlife conservation, animal care, self sustainability (making bread, cheese...) Construction/carpentry, horse riding

    Things I can offer:

    Besides the skills I've listed in my experiences, I can mostly offer time, motivation, 2 hands and good conversation.
    I'm a quick learner and am not afraid to work hard or end up sweaty and dirty in the end of the day :-)

    I do find it important though to have a good balance with time off. Volunteering is part of my travelling so I find it important to also get to know the area. I love hiking and outdoor stuff, so motivated to share.

    Hope to see you soon!
