Description
I am a 36 year old man who is qualified as a joiner but have had experience in workaway before and loved every part of it - I also have a very relaxed and happy outlook on life.
I work hard on whatever task has been set to accomplish - I'm not afraid of getting stuck in and can work very effectively as part of a team or on my own using my own initiative.
I am flexible with the tasks I am prepared to do and happy to turn my hand to most things.
I've lived in france and austria previously but been back in the UK for 3 years and I'm ready for my next adventure.
I speak English, basic german and the tiniest bit of French - at the moment but would love to extend my linguistic skills.
Having worked in France for two years, I have knowledge of the lovely French way of living - work hard first- relax well later. The Austrians are far more efficient haha!
I come from a large family - two brothers 1 sister plus an active extended family so am happy to work with or around children.
I can cook fairly well and enjoy cooking for groups of people - creating new recipes and sharing the washing up.

I'm super late with the feedback as I was with these 2 amazing people last June, I stayed with them for 3 weeks and it was such a wonderful experience!!! I was the 1st workaway they hosted but you would never have guessed. The way they made me feel so welcome from day one, you would have thought they've been doing it for years!!

Jack spent three weeks with us in June 2024, and he was a great asset to our project! He took on numerous woodworking tasks and played a key role in planning and constructing a wooden structure for a bathhouse.

Jack stayed, together with Dory and Mickey, for almost 2 weeks. Besides a very nice person he is super practical and works autonomously, when I couldn’t formulate a new task he’d find himself something. They’ve helped me with an enormous firewood action, feels so good to know we’ll be warm for a very long time!! Jack built a nice woodshelter to… read more

Added to this was his genuinely thoughtful and caring approach to work and interacting with us… read more

Jack is very good with all tools and a real problem solver.
He has built two tables and four benches, cut the grass and fixed and improved many things. Wishing Jack a pleasant further journey and hope he will come again to Friends of Luštica.
