Description

Hi, I'm Paul, and I'm excited about the opportunity to travel and experience more of the world! I am an easy going, hard working, independent, professional. I am open to pretty much everything.

I am a teacher most of the year, but I have a sabbatical (year off) for the year of September '24 to September '25. Looking forward to seeing you in the big wide world,

Together with another workawayer, he made a good team, at times the best.
The interested and interesting evening conversations and video viewing (Jonny Stecchino) were very enjoyable.

I had the most wonderful and rich experience staying with Turi and Christa. They were welcoming from the moment of my arrival, and it was sad to say goodbye. The work was varied, and enjoyable. Their commitment to sharing the joys of their home, environment, culture and community were wonderful, and enhanced my experience. I fell in love with … read more

It was a really great experience to host Paul. He is a honest, responsible and hard-working person. It is great to have someone you can count on and who works completely independently. Paul was a great help and he is also very good company. I highly recommend him!

I had a wonderful week here. Catherine was a super friendly, hospitable, and generous host. She was so easy to spend time with and I am lucky to have her as a friend. The work was reasonable, and I felt useful throughout my stay. Catherine forgave me my errors and appreciated my work when it turned out well.

When Paul contacted us to offer to help us as a Workawayer and especially to advance the construction of the tiny house, immediately I thought: "this is an angel sent"!
We contacted each other twice on WhatsApp and the connection was immediate!
This is the first time I had a workawayer who arrived with his vehicle, totally autonomous up to our … read more

i had an amazing time with Johanne and Elphege. They were generous hosts, and welcomed with me Into their home with great warmth. The work hours and expectations were reasonable. I found Elphege to be a quiet gentleman, but discovered his sense of humour a little later into my stay and enjoyed his companionship. Johanne is an amazing chef, … read more

Carolyn and River were excellent, generous, accommodating, and interested hosts throughout. I learned so much, but even more than that, I enjoyed their company and companionship.

This was a perfect Workaway experience for me.
