Description
ENGLISH
Update 11.2018

In the middle of May 2018 I started to travel with a purpose of learning more about permaculture, sustainable living and several other topics closely related. All that is extremely interesting and learning more and more makes me realize how little I knew and how much is still for me to discover.Now the season in Europe is over, so I want to continue this idea in South America.
Some changes are very easy to implement in life, whereas for other one needs a bit more time. I still follow the idea of global engineering and whenever I can I develop it. The text below I wrote a couple of years ago. Lots of things happened since then, also thanks to WorkAway which I am very grateful.

Ok. time to write something about myself. Well I’m an easy going guy who tries to find out how to become a global engineer. Probably there is no such a thing as global engineer…yet.
What I understand by this term is to travel all around the world doing huge and little projects, sometimes connected with engineering sometimes not. Depending on the needs of particular region of the world and local people there. I simply like to help. Doesn’t matter if it’s renovating a small house or building Empire State Building, what matters for me is the way of achieving goals with other people. I think WORKAWAY will bring me some ideas about global engineering.
What else? I like to learn and do new things, explore new places, meet new people. During my University time I had several opportunities to go abroad. Thanks to that I improved my English and also I’ve learnt some Spanish. I’ve also learnt a lot of patience, traveling here and there by hitch-hiking. By the way I think it’s one of the best ways to explore the world.
I am a fan of active life and sports. I run, play football, basketball, volleyball and other team games. From time to time I play harmonica but it’s not professional so if you tell me that it’s crap I’ll stop, and go to some remote place to practice, no worries.
Roughly, that’s all. Thanks for reading.

Atencion! – el texto traduje solo entonces probablemente hay errores en gramatica y estilo.

En medio de mayo 2018 empecé a viajar con un objeto de aprender más sobre la permacultura, vivir sostenible y unos otros temas cerca relacionados. Todo eso está muy interesante y aprender más y más me da cuenta de que poco supe y cuanto todavía hay para mí para descubrir.
Ahora es el fin de la temporada en Europa. Por eso quiero continuar esta idea en América del sur.
Unos cambios se puede implementar fácilmente en la vida mientras que otros necesitan un rato más largo. Todavía sigo la idea de ingeniería global y siempre que puedo desarrollo esto. El texto abajo escribí hace unos anos. Muchas cosas pasaron desde entonces también gracias a WorkAway que agradezco mucho.

Bueno. Es un tiempo para escribir algo sobre mi. Soy un tipo facil quien busca una manera para ser un ingeniero global. Probablemente no hay algo asi... todavia.
Lo que entiendo de esta expression es viajar por todo el mundo haciendo projectos grandes y pequeños. A veces conectados con ingenieria y a veces no. Esto depende de las nececidades de la region en el mudno y de la gente local. Simplemente a mi me gusta ayudar. No importa si es una renovation de una casa pequeña o del Empire State Building, lo que importa para mi es una buena manera de obtener objetivos con otras personas. Pienso que WORKAWAY va a darme unas ideas sobre ingenieria global.
Que mas? Me gusta aprender y hacer cosas nuevas, explorar nuevos lugares, conoser gente nueva. Durante mis estudios tuve unas posibilidades para ir al extranjero. Gracias a eso mojore mi Ingles y aprendi un poco de Español. Tambien he aprendido mucho de paciencia haciendo autostop por aqui y alla. A proposito, pienso es una de las formas mejores para explorar el mundo.
Soy un fan de la vida active y deporte. Corro, juego futbol, baloncesto, voleibol y tambien otros juegos de equipo. A veces toco mi armonica pero eso no es profesional, entonses si me digas que es basura voy a parar y ire a un lugar distante, no te preocupes.
Mas o menos es todo. Gracias por leer.

I stayed two weeks with Michael and Silvia. They are very good people with a positive approach to life. They do what they love to do, do it whit passion and enthusiasm to share it with others.

Vito is a great host and a great man. Together with Ami they create a true magical couple.
There are also Vitos' parents, sister and dogs that I cannot forget in this short feedback. They all treated me like a family member and this is something priceless.

I am glad that our first official workaway guest was this guy. Easygoing, openminded, ready to do any kind of work. Damian is skilled and can use his head at work, that means you can leave him with his task without fear he will not manage it. This is very precious things nowadays especially for always busy tree-rancher like me. :) Also i value a… read more

I stayed with Vendula, Martin and their mother just one week. Nevertheless, we have managed to do quite a lot of visible things. Every day was different. Vendula has a big knowledge about permaculture and what she does gives her a lot of joy. The garden itself has been designed and organized in a very clever way. In the greenhouse for example the… read more

Damian was a very pleasant workawayer. We spent a good time together. The time to search for mushrooms was so valuable. Damian found the mushrooms at the right time and in the right place, which surprised me a lot. We spent a lot of time looking after it, and afterwards we were ready to dry it for the winter. We wish Damian his wishes come true… read more

Great place! Cool people! And a fantastic idea in the back ground. Living away from busy cities, in peace with the nature in a sustainable way. Fields, straw bale house, crops, animals and delicious food! Those are the words that come to my mind when I thing about Eddy&Gosia’s paradise. The house has a spirit and you can feel it.

A week ago I came back. I can definitely say that 2 weeks here were one of the best vacations I had. Every day was unique and worth spending there.

Even though the work was sometimes tough especially at the beginning when there were just a few of us and we had to work from morning till around 5 p.m., being there compensated that. After 3 days… read more
