Description
Welcome hosts, thanks for taking the time to have a look at my profile. After 9 months back home in New Zealand I am heading back over seas for some more adventures. From 2019 I spent two years cycle touring and workawaying in Europe, Morrocco, Turkey and the Balkans.
I am an open minded easy going person. I enjoy being outside, working hard, finding solutions and being creative. If I am not riding my bike, I like swimming, learning to surf better, eating good food, having interesting conversation, playing cards and doing a little bit of yoga and meditation. I am on workaway because I want to help with exciting projects, learn about the different ways people are living and gain some new skills I can apply to my life.
This summer me and my girlfriend (profile attached) are planning to travel around Turkey and put our energy into helping with some different Workaway projects.

More details about your skills
I have learnt a of skills at the many different places I have volunteered and my job back home. In New Zealand I worked as a Mountain Bike Instructor and Trail Builder, at my local trails in Woodhill Forest. I have many skills from my work back home, such as operating a digger to build trails, use of chainsaw, leading a trail building crew, teaching mountain bike skills, teaching bicycle safety to school kids, being a bicycle mechanic, building wooden structures on trails and I even have experience picture framing at my father's business.
I can safely opperate almost all power tools and am very comfortable working on building/wood working projects. I enjoy physical and creative work, landscaping, farming, etc. No job is too hard, and there is always a solution.
I am happy cooking good healthy vegetarian food and always keep the place tidy.
I am a motivated worker and keen to learn new skills.

I hope I can help you with some of these skills and learn more!

Peter is a handy man full of talents and perfectionist. You can leave a project to him with peace of mind and he does it perfectly. I believe he is too humble when he presents his skills. He is a very polite and nice person and brings a good vibe to his surroundings. He always has a home in Montenegro. Thank you Peter 🙏🏽😊🍀

Coming from so far away, I felt like he’s my younger brother. He’s a doer. Doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty and doesn’t say no to any job. He’s been on and off a few times and he knows he always has a place for him. Great guy! We didn’t even say goodbye last time cause we knew we would see each other again.

Communication was easy and I could do more hours some days and less or none others when Dan was out working his job.
