Description

Hello! Adam here, i'm originally from Australia, i've been living the last few years overseas working on different projects, wwoofing, and mostly workaway. I returned to Australia in September 2019, and of course, then the corona broke out, but now i'm looking to get back on a workaway.
I've lived most of my life in communal situations and really enjoy communal life, contributing to a good atmosphere, the good challenges, and learning from others.
I was in Academia for awhile (in Literature), and as much as i love it, i am really enjoying the more physical, hands on and team environments of workaway and wwoof. I enjoy physical work and have picked up skills in most aspects of building, gardening, working with wood, paving, creating spaces, art projects, and room, hostel and garden design etc.
I have worked in and run hostels, and a variety of rooming situations, and love setting up nice spaces with an attention to details.
I enjoy good hard satisfying work, and love learning new trades, from building, farming, organic farming, food and wine preparation, creating spaces, cooking and sharing meals.
I also really enjoy learning and exchanging ideas, dealing with what ever challenges present themselves, finding the way that works for everyone, and being committed to a project. I love the outdoors, animals, nature, people, and community.
I'm happy to help with any and all tasks, creativity and sharing.
I'm currently back in Melbourne, and looking forward to being on a new workaway soon,
Cheers
Adam

What else ...

I love cooking and sharing meals at the end of a days work, and a good sense of camaraderie. I write stories in my spare time and enjoy hearing people's stories. I like physical activity, sports, camping and seeing new places, and meeting new people. I enjoy reading on many topics, and writing when i get the chance, watching the odd good film, good conversation, walking and hiking in nature, and learning new crafts. I also like to adapt to new situations, to be flexible, honest, respectful and always ready to learn.
