Description
Hey there!
I'm Mario, 20 years old, and from Germany. One year ago, after I finished high school, I decided to go to Canada for one year and I had a lot of fun there. I spent my winter there working on a ski hill, and the rest of the time I did Workaway in a lot of different places. I really enjoyed it, that's why I'm doing the same thing around some European countries now, before I wanna start studying this fall or next spring.
I'm a friendly and funny person who usually doesn't like hanging around and doing nothing. I love photography as well as taking and editing videos, playing instruments and music in general. I bought a ukulele for my Canada trip and learned how to play it, and of course I'm travelling with it again. I also like reading, hiking, swimming, snowboarding, all kinds of juggling and I love to fool people with magic tricks! Just ask me to show you some. :P I did artistic gymnastics for about 10 years before I broke my arm one year ago and I'm still quite athletic, but probably not the strongest guy you can find. Always down to try out new sports though! If I get the chance I'd love to try surfing.
I learned English in school for 9 years and spent one year in Canada, so my English is pretty good. I'd say that I'm a reliable worker, not afraid to get dirty and open to learn new skills and ways of life. I'm a fast learning person and a bit of a perfectionist, so I'm not afraid to ask questions if I didn't understand something. I want to get out of my comfort zone, meet new people and make new experiences!

More details about your skills
I'm able to work with computers and other electronic devices pretty well and go decent gardening skills and experience. I love animals (especially cats), that's why animal care is something I enjoy doing. I already got some experience since I worked at farms with many animals. Of course, housekeeping is also something I can do.
When I came to Canada last year, I almost couldn't cook at all, but meanwhile I developed some pretty decent cooking and baking skills. Since I like taking photos, I'm a good photographer in case you need photos for e.g. your website or profile. I'm also traveling with my drone that captures awesome aerial footage!
I also have a bit of building experience and skills, but I would definitely like to learn more about it. I like designing stuff and being creative.

The month I spent on Anne Helenes farm was the perfect way to end my Workaway-summer.
Compared to other some Workaways I did before, I really enjoyed the work here! Apart from taking care of the animals in the morning, it included for example making a new outdoor path and floor in an outdoor area, mowing the lawn, cutting trees or taking down an… read more

Mario is the ideeal workawayer! He is hard working, and abit of a perfectionist. He takes care of details, and everything he does, he tries to do his very best, and does not like to leave anything half done. He is never stressed og gets worked up.
He helped with taking care of the animals, coocking delicious meals (everyone was impressed), puting… read more

What a great time at this hostel! I stayed one and a half months and I would have easily stayed longer if I could. Jo and Math are the best hosts/owners ever, they are super chill and nice wanna give you a good time there. The work is mainly housekeeping and never hard, and only 16 hours a week so usually you got lots of free time. You can also… read more

Mario was a great help! He even made the mistake of coming back later in the year to help with sheeting the ceiling with big heavy sheets of plywood. Couldn’t have got it done without him.

I stayed for two weeks at Sam and Tanner's place and it was great. They are both fun and cool people, unfortunately I only met Sam for one week. The work times are pretty flexible and the work itself is never too hard. We built a shed for snowmobiles, started building a garden, cleaned up the disc golf course (if you never played disc golf before… read more

I stayed for three weeks at Michelles place in the peace country and time just flew by. Michelle and Brian are both really welcoming and the farm felt like home the day I arrived. You will learn about Michelles vending business, drive to different places to fill up the machines together and maybe even get towed because the truck broke down! :)… read more

We're so lucky to have hosted Mario. He was absolutely reliable, trustworthy, and easy going. Mario was a quick learner who provided excellent daily animal care with minimal supervision. He is now an experienced pig wrestler, if you need those services! :) Mario was well-liked by our children who were enchanted with his magic tricks. We were… read more

I stayed 3 and a half weeks at the farm (a week more than I planned) and I really enjoyed it! Christiana, Tony, Erin, Jeremy, Scott and the kids are really great people and you will love their farm dog Zippy.
The camper I slept in was very tiny but also very cozy, especially when it rained outside :D But keep in mind that when you visit in October… read more
