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 👍

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.
