Travelling

Activities i am interested in:

Travelling and meeting people have been my goal for the past 2.5 years. Currently staying and helping workawayer hosts in Netherlands and exploring the areas too.
Description

I like to discover new places. At the end of 2023 I travelled across the west coast of the USA. Amazing trip where I took in Seattle, Portland, Denver, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California. Saw beautiful landscapes, open terrain with sprawling deserts and met amazing people along the way.

From early 2023 till summer, I travelled to British Columbia, where I checked out all the province had to offer while meeting great friends and discovering unreal sights and scenery. I travelled to Vancouver Island, explored the interior and also during my travels saw more of the country with Calgary and Winnipeg added to my list.

In 2022 I visited Iceland and toured around the south of the island in a camper van. I met locals and tourists around Reykjavik and saw amazing landscapes and sites.

I like to travel and meet people from different countries and explore.

Fleur and Miel were great hosts and very helpful on my first workaway in Netherlands and my first time there also when I arrived in April. It was a nice setting and something very familiar to my home by being close to nature. The tasks were very enjoyable too, being outside and working on different projects were nice and varied and always looking … read more

It was a pleasure having Micheal stay with us. We had a lot in common, and really enjoyed getting to know him. He was also a great worker with two projects while he was here; re-flashing a roof and building stone steps. We'd have him back any time.

Sean was good about the tasks he wanted to complete and organised what materials he wanted. Also we were blessed with nice weather and completed his trail steps and flashing for his deck which was nice to … read more

Michael was a great volunteer. He is very upbeat and sociable and he works really hard. Whether screening soil, processing firewood, moving stones, or clearing brush, Michael always did a fantastic job. It was really nice to have him stay with me and to get to know him. I would definitely recommend Michael to other hosts.

Had the pleasure of spending time at Seans round house near kawartha lakes. He was very responsive and picked me up in Peterborough. I was lucky enough at the time to share duties with a workaway couple which was great to get tasks done and to hang out as well. The work was outdoors which was nice as the weather was still good. We got to use the … read more

Michael (pronounced Mee-Haul) is a really wonderful human. He is very kind, attentive and is lovely to be around. He cared for my home and sweet doggies for 2 weeks while I was out of the country and did an excellent job while he was here.
