Description
Hi!
My name is Marek and I’m from Poland. At the moment I’m on a long journey around the world, discovering new places, people, and experiences :)
I’m a positive, open-minded, and easy-going person. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures, sharing stories, and learning new skills. I like to stay active and be useful wherever I go.
I have lived in several countries, including Denmark, England, and now the Azores in Portugal. Living in different places has helped me become adaptable, independent, and comfortable in new environments.
By education I am a neuropsychologist, but in practice I mostly work as an electrician. For the past 10 years I have worked at events and festivals as a lighting technician, setting up lighting systems, decorations, and stages. I enjoy technical work and creating things with my hands.
Recently, while living in the Azores, I have also gained experience in construction work — working with wood, basic building projects, and electrical installations. I’m always happy to learn new practical skills.
I have volunteered many times before and I truly enjoy helping people and being part of a team. I can work both independently and together with others, and I always try to bring positive energy to the place where I stay.
My motivation for Workaway is to travel in a meaningful way, meet inspiring people, share experiences, and learn new things while helping hosts with their projects.
I’m happy to help with many different tasks and I’m always open to learning something new -
