Descripción

Hello there friends,
what motivates us? In no particular order, here goes;
Running our own building, roofing, cleaning and gardening businesses and maintaining our 5⭐️ ratings. We turn up on time and do a great job, it makes us happy. We have integrity, are honest and work hard. We have enough humility to ask for help if needed.
We couldn’t think of anything more enjoyable than living our life traveling and seeing the world and at the same time offering our volunteer support and help to whoever may need it in exchange for “bed and board “ 🙂🙂
We feel a Workaway experience would enable us to have a more interesting and engaging relationship with people , community and the landscape we are interacting with.
We are passionate about wildlife and have travelled to the furthest reaches of the planet to see its beauty and wonder.
We laugh a lot, even when we’re not catching fish! We get a sense of freedom just by being in the great outdoors.
Being alive, friends, family and people bring us happiness,
We enjoy planning our next adventure.
We are outgoing, honest, friendly and physically fit with positive attitudes and a zest for life.
Neither of us smoke, drink or take drugs.
Hopefully see you soon!😊😊
Peace and love.
Maxine and Matty
PS We’d hire us 😊😊

MATTY:I have forty years experience in the construction industry and hold a full driving license.
My passion is carpentry and joinery in which I am skilled and experienced in - we actually live in a timber frame cabin which we built!

( I have an excellent understanding and load bearing table knowledge of this)
* Formwork , shuttering and concreting- various tasks ie walls, pillars and staircases etc.
*Roofing - Timber,corrugated,felt and tiles (shingles)

I can work successfully and efficiently alone OR as part of a team to delegate OR receive instruction. There is always a solution and I am positive in my work with a great sense of humour.
I’ve run my own business for many years and have an excellent reputation and I am very knowledgeable.I couldn’t think of anything better than to travel and volunteer my skills working on other people’s homes and projects. It would be a wonderful opportunity.
