Profile information
Description
Hello, my name is Piotr. I like traveling, meeting new people and other cultures. I am a positive and open minded person. Previously, I professionally helped young addicts and conducted various classes. It was a very good experience. After that, I felt that I needed to work closer to nature in eco projects. I live in Gdańsk, Poland and I mainly work in photovoltaics with private investors and designers now. I don't have a work all year round, so at that time I can go on a trip somewhere. I like Norway and Sweden and I travelled there with a rucksack and a tent last year twice. I have been to Saltfjellet-Svartisen and Fulufjället National Parks. I love spending time surrounded by nature enjoying beautiful landscapes and hiking. Traveling in a group is great because of the interactions, but traveling alone is also interesting. I like reading a book in the evening or talking by the fireplace.
All in all, I am a calm person and I also remain balanced in difficult situations.
I found out about workaway from my friend who told me how many interesting people and countries he met while traveling this way. That's why I decided to try it too. So far, I have met foreigners while working, hitchhiking, or even on a mountain trail or in a shelter. And these were very nice moments, but during a stay with family or on a farm the experience can be deeper and bring greater value to both parties.Interests
