Activities i am interested in:

i'm interested in travelling and travel work, being part of good creative projects, and farm stays, being in the countryside, around nature, and being in community

Description

Hello! Adam here from Australia, i have lived overseas for many years, working on different projects, including through wwoofing and workaway.
I've spent a lot of time in communal situations and really enjoy communal life, contributing to a good atmosphere, the good challenges, and learning from others.
I originally studied and worked in Academia (literature, creative writing/film), and am now really enjoying the more physical, hands on and often team environments of travel-farm-project work.
More recently i have been a support worker, especially garden and house maintenance roles, and working with children and teenagers, and have taught tennis and roller skating as a physical activity in support work.
Through travel I have worked in and run hostels and farm stays, and love setting up nice spaces with an attention to details.
I enjoy good hard satisfying work, and love learning new trades and skills, from building, renovating, working with wood, farming, permaculture, and working with animals.
I also really enjoy learning and exchanging ideas, especially over a cuppa or a shared meal, dealing with whatever challenges present themselves, finding the way that works for everyone, and being committed to a project. I love the outdoors, animals, nature, people, culture and community.
I am very self-reliant and can make the best of minimal and simple resources, and have a deep respect for the needs and wants of others.
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. When in less social situations then i am very self-reliant, and can thrive by myself, especially as i write stories in my spare time. I also love physical activity, sports, especially tennis, roller skating and roller hockey (though hockey sticks aren't so easy to travel with!). I love camping and seeing new places and meeting new people. I enjoy reading on many topics, watching the good film, listening to good music, good conversation, walking and hiking in nature. I also like to adapt to new situations, to be flexible, honest, respectful and always ready to learn
