Description
I am looking for hosts whom I can help with my craftsmanship skills. I enjoy repairing, building, and designing things made of wood. This can range from simple small repairs to larger pieces of furniture and even entire furnishings. I also have some experience with many other types of work around the house (flooring, tiling, electrical work) and am happy to learn more.
I trained as a mechanical engineer, but I have always enjoyed working with my hands.
My second passion is cycling, both on and off the road. For me, it's the perfect way to explore the area.
I am currently taking a career break and would like to gain inspiration from people and travel with Work Away. -

They live very close to the small town of Ille Rousse and have a huge plot with a lot of work. With its large garden and the many construction topics, it never gets boring.
