Descripción

Hello,

I'm David from Belgium, probably the rainiest country in Europe! I've got some Italian blood, so obviously I developed quite the affection for the Mediterranean.

Personally, I love nature and being outside. In the tranquil forest, serene mountains or basically anywhere outdoors. Not to say I don't like cities and culture, I do especially like culinary experiences.
My passion is integrating science, nature and agriculture through agro-ecology, permaculture and similar concepts.

Every year I try to do an exchange via WorkAway, so I'm interested in a wide variety of experiences. Sadly I'm limited to school holidays at the moment.

Sì, imparo l'Italiano e adesso sono a nivello B1. Mi piacerebbe incontrare persone che possano aiutarmi a migliorare il mio italiano. Myself, I could help other people with Dutch, English and some intermediate French. Of course, I'm always interested in other languages.

Que habilidades tienes?

I studied Biology and Agro-Biotechnology and I've worked many laboratory jobs over the years at universities and NGOs. As such I have a decent amount of theoretical knowledge on plants and animals with insight into ecological and farm design.
I've also completed an online Permaculture Design Course and I'd love to build up more practical skills. Eco/agro-tourism are my main interests for a volunteering experience.

Most recently a Lab Manager for the University of Antwerp at the Faculty of Heritage, Department of Conservation & Restoration (Art).
A bit out of my comfort zone, but an interesting job nonetheless.
Currently doing a career switch to professional teacher (in training).

I've been Private-Tutoring science to students occasionally as a freelancer for several years now. Mostly Chemistry, Biology but also English and some other topics.

My reason for travelling with WorkAway is the ability for amazing experiences while both helping locals and reducing travel expenses for longer stays.

Unlike other platforms, I do consider it a vacation and not a full-time job. Of course good cooperation requires some basic agreements and respect. At this point I've already done several long WorkAway experiences, so I know what's important.

I consider myself a reasonably smart, respectful but helpful, positive and enjoyable person.
Sometimes confused so that I might be very direct, hence I appreciate similar communication.
Though people have described me as authentic, sophisticated but I can also be witty and funny.
Apparently, people from Belgium are very organised, the only reason I plan my vacations far in advance is mostly to avoid high ticket prices.
