    Travelling

  • Description

    HI! I'm a solo traveller from NZ looking to explore Europe for a few months on a budget. I am more than happy to help out with gardening, home DIY/general maintenance, hanging out with kids or helping with their homework, just whatever you need me to do :). I have frequent experience since the age of 8 with rebuilding and renovating houses and landscaping, so don't hesitate to ask!

    Culture exchange will be really intriguing for me, I have been to New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia and now the US, very excited to learn more about other cultures and maybe exchange languages too. I only speak English, but some of my friends only have B1 English and we communicate just fine and I teach them English, so feel free to reach out if you are wanting help with it!

    I love the outdoors, and when travelling abroad I love to immerse myself in the culture and explore the nature and the local vibes of the towns/cities to give myself the best travel experience.

    I'm a forensic engineer and may have some infrequent remote work come up, so a stable, unlimited internet connection would be nice but not essential.

  • More details about your skills

    I am a mechatronics engineer - someone who knows a bit about electronics and materials. This combined with 13 years of part-time house rebuilding and renovating mean I'm quite comfortable with any home DIY projects, or can give a go fixing anything broken you may have. I also have a little experience on farms, so I really don't mind getting my hands dirty or helping care for animals and gardens.
    I've also worked at a restaurant so am decent in the kitchen and would be like to exchange cooking ideas/techniques or pour a drink for a hang out night talking about cultures and life :)
