Travelling

Activities i am interested in:

I am planning a trip to Europe, starting the first of June, 2024, and will be in Europe for several months after that.
Description

Hello, my name is Kevin. I have been in the logistics field for some time and as such, have had the opportunity to travel extensively within the U.S., visiting every state, every capital and most National Landmarks, except Alaska, which I have not had the chance to visit. Last spring, I traveled to Japan for 3 months in the Workaway program and made many new friends, not just Japanese, but many others from many countries. This year, I'm planning on visiting Europe and hoping to experience the amazing history of as many countries as I possibly can. I am a very hard worker and am in excellent shape. I work well with others and enjoy meeting new people and learning about the traditions and history of new cultures. I was also raised around animals and have been riding horses since I was a child. I am also good with kids, if the position offered involves such. It's nice to be reminded of what it's like to be a child and I think that they can teach us or remind us of valuable things that as adults, we have forgotten. If you find my profile potentially applicable to the position that your offering, then I hope that we get the chance to meet and work together. Have a great day.

First, I was scheduled to be at Michael & Tina's place for about 2 weeks and stayed over a month. I can't say enough good things about this workaway experience, it was amazing and not just because of the places that Michael took me, or the things that he showed me or the great food or the opportunity to work around horses, but mostly because of … read more

Persona educata e volenterosa di conoscere il mondo.
Da consigliare.

If I had to describe Raffaele in one word, it would attentive. He addressing any need his workaways have. I became sick while there, and Raffaele went out and acquired medication for me. He would never let me overwork and instead encouraged me to venture out and explore the city and even gave me a weekend off to go to Venice. He is also a … read more

This workaway experience for me, was one of, if not the best, workaway experience that I have ever had. They thanked me for visiting and helping as a workaway, but in truth, I was the one that benefitted the most. I was able to contribute on the restoration efforts for an estate that was built almost 300 years ago, that in itself, was a privilege, … read more
