Descripción
It is all about paying it forward, do good for others and don't inspect much in return. I simply like to help, I currently help/volunteer locally and I want to expand abroad.
I do most of house renos, gardening etc... Raised on a farm, learned earlier on in life to help friends and neighbors for basically all sort of needs.
French as a kid and quickly learned that English would open so many more doors.

I'm still employed, retiring Jan 2024, and plan on continuing to help with workaway.
I'm perhaps late in life to help but it's never too late to help those in need while sharing the experience gained during the journey (AKA life).

Que habilidades tienes?
Jack of all trades around the house (reno, cleaning, gardening etc...).
Mechanic by trade and can repair most tools/machineries/toys (except throw away gismos).
Family, friends and socializing when the work is done is key to successful work away partnership.
Brought up on a farm and the chores that come with day to day operations are possible. We lived on a dairy farm so I would like to leave milking the cows to the pros.
Off time; bike, walk, sailing, gathering, visiting friends and family.
I do enjoy the freedom that a cell phone/computer brings to our life, however I do the strict minimum.
None smoker/drinker, and no recovering from anything!

If we were honest about our experience with John, it would not be believed. The magnitude of John's giving to our family was extraordinary. He immediately acclimated to our family and all of our quirky dynamics. We could admittedly be described as dysfunctional on many occasions yet he had a way of bringing us together that healed some old wounds.… read more

My experience during my stay with the host family was such a wonderful experience! Soon following my arrival the host family made me feel right at home away from home. The interactions with the host family were great. I had originally requested to help/stay for a month and given how well it went the hosts allowed me to stay much longer. I was able… read more

This was a different sort of situation.. John lives not far from us and connected to offer a hand and to get a sense of the Workaway exchange concept. We were delighted to meet such a benevolent character. It usually takes our guests a moment to take in the flow of the farm but he has life experience & was ready to work! I might of even had a hard… read more

I live an hour away from Brandie's place, I was their first local and likely the eldest LOL!
We exchanged our cultural backgrounds which were very similar, allowed me to fit right in and able to help. They have countless animals and all seem to have been named.
I could only be there for one day since I'm still working, it was such a beautiful… read more
