Description

Hi! My name is Lachlan (or Lachie for short).

I am a keen traveler and I am looking for opportunities to explore different cultures, and to develop and apply my skills through meaningful work.

I love to seek out new experiences and try to always challenge myself to keep learning. At home, I work as a full-time professional IT security engineer and enjoy hiking, flying gliders, photography and playing guitar in my free time.

I've been making short trips to Japan for almost a decade, but after my most recent trip lead me to exploring beautiful rural destinations and having great experiences meeting locals, I made the decision to take an extended full-time trip in order to fully immerse myself in the culture.

Although I haven't yet participated in a Workaway, I am highly driven and a fast learner, and always welcome to opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and try something new.

More details about your skills

My tertiary education and career has been focused on technology, and I am a very capable at programming, web design, IT, and electronic engineering - as a hobby, I hand-build drones to fly for photography and racing.

During my studies, I spent a lot of time working as a volunteer educator. This included developing and delivering lessons to large audiences, and allowed me to get experience in tutoring both children and adults.

I have experience working in a kitchen as a dishwasher and kitchen hand.

I am very pragmatic and I enjoy solving problems, I will happily spend time learning how to do my own maintenance around the house. Additionally, I love to cook for myself and my family, and work in my garden.
