Description
Hi!

I'm Scott from Northern Ireland. I have been meaning to do some workawaying for years now and finally I have my chance.

Over the last year I have been living and working in Australia, mainly in construction. I hope to be able to use skills I learned there on projects in Europe.

I love when people put time and effort into preserving history, especially old buildings. I have a dream of buying and restoring old buildings all over Europe, but in the mean time I am happy to help others with similar dreams.

I am happiest when working towards an end goal, so I look forward to meeting and helping you with yours.

More details about your skills
Before moving to Australia, I was a technology consultant, with my most useful skill to come out of that being Excel proficiency. But I can help out on other IT related tasks if needed.

I enjoy getting my hands dirty, which is necessary to work in construction.

I have ridden motorcycles for years and can do basic maintenance on them.

I have done a lot of work in demolition, so I can use a wide variety of hand and power tools. I also have experience in water damage and mould remediation.

Inside the house, I can cook and clean and try to keep a tidy environment. I also study maths at university level, so if there are children I can help them with their studies.

I don't have a lot of experience in the garden, but am more than happy to learn, as I think the reward is well worth the effort.

We only spent a few days with Florian in September of this year, as a last minute Workaway. The house is very basic, as the profile lays out, and the weather is not what some people might expect (again, as the profile details well), but the location is serene and the project has potential. Florian is a great guy, as were all the others we met on… read more

As soon as Scott arrived and unpacked, he immediately asked, 'What can I do?' His eagerness to contribute was remarkable. Scott possesses an impressive array of technical skills, and he wasted no time showcasing them. Even after completing the tasks I initially assigned him, he continued to proactively seek out more tasks and issues to resolve. It… read more

Had a fantastic time at Khair's place, would have stayed to Christmas if I could. There is so much needing done and I pretty quickly shared in his vision for the place. The work is unstructured, so you just have a chat about what needs done and do it in your own time. Khair is more than happy to drive you to see places and the shops, although if… read more

My first Workaway experience and it was great. Maryline and Philippe made me feel at home immediately. During my time here I helped with the labelling and boxing of the wine, gardened and worked on the vines. Their village nearby was easily accessible on foot or by bike and what a beautiful village it is, during my time here they had a festival on… read more
