Description
Hi I'm Simon, 22 years old & living on the countryside in Belgium. It's my first time setting up as a Workawayer but I'm ready to tackle this new adventurous chapter of my life. I graduated last year, found a job as an audiovisual technician but feel the need to spend some time abroad to travel & reflect on some things before I start my work career. I have a Working Holiday visa for 1 year in New Zealand and will see how long I'll stay. I like to be in nature and enjoy the little things in life :)

I have experience as an audiovisual technician, so do know some things about electricity, rigging, light & sound, computers and so on
I've worked in the past as a gardener, dishwasher, festival crew, bartender & spent a couple months in a plant nursery.
I have a hands-on mentality and don't fear hard work.
I enjoy DIY stuff and other versatile tasks + know some stuff about tools but always open to learn & use new things.
From what I've heard, I'm a quick learner!
Age

What else ...
I love doing different activities like sports, cycling, hiking, reading & practicing art. There are hardly any days that pass by without me listening to music, always open to discover new stuff.
Former boy scout & played soccer, badminton + practiced some calisthenics
Like to be around animals and a big dog person myself.
I'm really interested in history and keen to learn about old cultures.
Finally, I'm not the biggest talker, more of a listener but I can enjoy long conversations.
I would describe myself as a calm and easy going person, not a fan of conflict :)

My stay with Monica and Kyle was amazing. I spent 5 days on their lovely property with a fellow traveller and really enjoyed every moment of it! We slept in a cosy but spacious round canvas tent on a really comfy matress. They have a small stream nearby where you can spot lots of glowworms in the night. Kyle is also building an outdoor… read more

Simon was such a fun guy to host. He is quite knowledgable and has a good sense of humour! We had Simon working in the hot Northland sun doing some gardening and stacking some wood. He was in such good spirits even though the humidity was really hard to work in. We really enjoyed having Simon around, he's very respectful, strong and trustworthy… read more

My workaway experience with Suzie & Lane was amazing! I stayed in their lovely and tidy house for a week, it flew by :) They still had workawayers when I applied and were kind enough to ask their lovely neighbours if I first could stay over there for a couple days. I helped out with some fencework, wood chipping, log splitting and stacking and I… read more
