Description
Ah yes, well ... here we are :)

Hi all 🖐️ My name is Samuel.
I am a writer, technologist, Inventor and Explorer - and a true full-time Workaway lover 💖

🌍 I workaway 365 days a year and hope to eventually reach every country doing so. When not volueenteering, I am usually writing science fiction or participating as an oneironautical researcher. 🙈🔍🔬

A few highlights of my life include:
Crossing the European Continent in 2018 by foot with nothing but a backpack. 🥾
Inventing an adjustable shoe that I eventually sold at age 17.
Entering Mensa International by the time I was 20 - this is however a person that has smashed his head on a bicycle, lost his passport in a fridge and fallen in llama poop. 💩

🤠 Update September 2022
I just returned from a trip hitchhiking from the UK to Austria with NO money and NO possessions. I learned a lot from this trip and look forward to sharing my experiences with you as I move along.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As far as what i am capable of :
- I am a certified ESL Teacher and can assist in Business English for adults as well.
- I have a pretty extensive background in Software and Design too, and can help if you have
an interest in crypto (just because I travel like a nomad doesnt mean i didnt at one point
have it together 😉).
- I have experience running Hostels to Helping on a farm (I grew up off grid and have
worked at animal sanctuaries), so I can assist with anything from animal care or childcare to websites.
- I love to cook, especially vegan dishes, although I am *not* strictly vegan, I prefer to eat as
such.
- I can play a mad triangle (fr Piano)
- I have taken evasive/ defensive driving courses and am very competent behind the wheel.
- I prioritize an all around carefree and accepting vibe and I hope you do too.
- I travel too light to be messy!
- I am the ultimate animal lover, having 4 kat babies which all have disabilities and I grew up under a police dog trainer so I am sound around them 👍
- I am great with children and elderly and can be a tutor at home in a variety of subjects.
- Finally, I have a few years in hospitality.
I want to explore every part of this planet, the dimensions of our consciousness and any aspect that makes you - you!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whatever you're working on, I would love to be involved, no project is too big or small!
You can check out my personal portfolio and all of my workaway references upon request. (This is not the account I traveled with the first time, I have stayed with nearly a dozen workaway hosts- so its a real pain to not have that account anymore! I also hope to do this for many years as I love this platform)

Workaways since the beginning of this account:
((~ dozen hosts predate this account.))
📍Bolzano, IT (Teaching English to a prolific sculptor artist for 3 weeks)

Best to all,
Samuel ✌️

Left by host (Active outdoor help in a ...) for Workawayer ()

Julia and Sam are the Workaway couple you hope for. They are good company and work very hard and do outstanding jobs. They sanded and painted 3 bridges in our garden, they did a lot of maintenance on woodwork around the poolarea and garden furniture.
Also our chickens and dog were spoiled by their attention.
They have done an incredibly amount of… read more

Marga, Sikko, Tom, Ryan and the Queen of the Netherlands - Emma. What a wonderful time we had with you in Avenhoorn, from the quiet escapades to spill my heart to a chicken or wander around the house constantly questioning whether I should swipe the last piece of cake or sweet bread.

Marga, the mother, is a brilliant cook, always going out of… read more her way to ensure she is the perfect host and diligent in her ability to make you feel like you are being taken care of. Unfortunately, I arrived quite sick and I worried she would not respond so kindly to it, but she handled it in stride and gave me the necessary time to adjust. She is highly knowledgeable on topics such as nutrition and environment, although I'm sure we would have discovered more about her erudite aspect given more time with her.

The children, Tom and Emma, were really quite fun. Emma is a vibrant personality and we cant wait to see where she goes, although she could look both ways before driving across a street ;) God speed to the cyclists! lol. Tom on the other hand could make it as a card shark in Uno or as a professional driver. We hope you guys stay in touch.

The family in general is a proper one, amounting in a cultural exchange. They like to joke and of course appreciate your differences. I would say that for the most part they were busy during our stay here (even Tom and Emma with exams), but our time was still well spent and even old Ryan came to love us after a week alone watching the house.

During our time, Julia and I were able to attend Kings Day, which was a brilliant excuse to party with thousands of people on the streets of Amsterdam. April is a great time to come! We also saw the Tulips in bloom and spent most of our days off at the beach (but we warn you its a 2 hour bike). The work really quite varies, but mainly it is simple garden work. For us it was almost exclusively wood sanding and painting, but some lucky workers in the future will be able to handle larger tasks in the tennis court (currently unusable) or the back (which someone for the love of Ryan please convince Tom to make into a techno party ground). As a long time workawayer, I would say that the work is very straightforward and manageable with plenty of time to enjoy the property and the village.

PS tell my girls I say "COO CLUCK A LUCK coo cloop. " They will know what it means ;)

If any workawayers would like to know more information, please feel free to reach out to me. My WhatsApp is on my profile and I am on this site daily. I feel we should be able to communicate as well about our experiences.

Much love to the family and until we see each other again,
Sam and Julia.
