Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am extremely excited about retiring soon after my 63rd birthday in late 2024. I intend to travel across Europe and to visit all of the places i have on my bucket list when I change my working lifestyle.

I am a solo traveller who has a desire to work whilst exploring. My main opportunities for work will be in the agricultural industries, including fruit farms and vineyards. I am also available to house and farm sit or to help with DIY or restoration projects. I am a competent cook, albeit with limited experience, and i am also a qualified mathematics teacher and sports coach.

On the workaway website, it says that there is no upper age limit, but i am realistic with my expectations as, although i am fully fit and have no health issues, i may not be able to match the pace and intensity of some of the younger generation. I will be travelling alone in my own transport. As a former military officer of 30 years, i am able to problem solve and handle challenges with calm composure.

I stumbled on workaway website by accident and have viewed the content with great interest; i am hoping that this community will be the gateway to the next phase of my life.

kind regards, Andrew
