Description
Hello 😊
I resigned from my job in Australia and have been in Europe for a month or two. I enjoy meeting people, discovering little corners of the world and being helpful.
I first signed up to Workaway as a host in 2020 as my partner and I were renovating a house in Australia. I am currently writing this from Alicante in Spain, from the flat of the lovely Workawayers who stayed and helped us for 6 weeks during Covid lockdown in 2000! I contacted them to see where they were and they've just moved in to their own flat. I've helped them with some plumbing, cleaning and throwing out/donating a huge amount of stuff from the previous occupant (the place was Full!) I am so pleased to be able to reciprocate the amazing help they gave us!
I really enjoy being helpful and the mutually beneficial aspect of Workday - So I'm keen to do more 👍Interests

More details about your skills
I've worked installing and maintaining scientific sites in remote parts of Australia for many years so am generally pretty handy with tools etc. (Without being a tradesperson by any means!) I've just been helping my friends in Alicante and can do basic plumbing (replaced flush mechanism, siliconed kitchen and bathroom, re-seated the sink. I'm a good listener, so if you can describe it I'll give it a good go. I've also done quite a few house sits and have successfully cared for dogs, turtles, fish and gardens.
