Primarily interested in all aspects of cinema and world music.
Descripción
Hello my name is Nick and I am a 22 year old American currently traveling the world while prepping to attend university for cinema studies in the near future. I have been using Workaway for over a year volunteering and helping around Europe doing various types of help.
I have an almost obsession with learning about and experiencing the different cultures all over the world primarily through cinema and music.
I also carry a video camera around with me almost everywhere collecting footage for potential films I have in mind.

I worked 3 years in retail/customer service in Texas.
I worked for 2 years doing manual labor primarily working off of semi-trucks in Texas.
While traveling for the last 18 months I have volunteered all over Europe working with a wide range of businesses and people. This includes a kids camp in Romania focusing on English learning, various different hostels and guest houses mainly working in reception, eco-friendly and organic farming, basic building/construction, and general animal care (dogs, cats, ponies, pigs, sheep, goats, alpacas, chickens, ducks).
I also have some experience in music production mostly in electronic music but also in tape music, hip hop, techno, house and mande music.
I was also heavily into canvas painting primarily focusing on abstract expressionism but it has been a quite a while since then.

My main interest is in cinema as it is what I plan on studying in the future. I can show you many different types of cinema ranging from contemporary to non contemporary, art house cinema, experimental cinema, non narrative cinema, and traditional narrative cinema from all over the world.
Similar to my interest in cinema is my interest in music from all over the world. Including but not limited to Latin American Folk music, all genres of African music, South East Asian music, various electronic music, all types of jazz and rock, experimental music and various other world music.

Nick stayed with us almost 3 months and is one of the best volunteers we had in a long time. He is great person, very hardworking, responsible, fun to have around and most of all, will follow all instructions to the detail.
We had so much fun and good time, deep conversations and he helped us out big time with work on our farm.
He would always… read more

My 10 week stay at Nenad and Marija's farm was a great experience. Nenad and Marija are very welcoming and treat you like family from the very start. Their family consists of the two of them, Lora and Pika the dogs, Mici the cat, and their ducks and chickens. Most of the time Marija had to be in Zagreb which was unfortunate but we looked forward… read more to whenever she did come to the farm. Nenad primarily lived on the farm with all of us.
The work varies depending on the weather and the time of year and Nenad is very good at helping you find something that is suitable for you. During my stay for example we did Aronia picking, weeding the garden, harvesting, fruit picking, working with compost, pizza oven building, filling raised garden beds, cleaning the greenhouse, moving rain collectors, basic duck/chicken care, fruit tree pruning, transplanting flowers, varnishing and sanding, weeding Aronia plants and so on. The vast variety of work keeps everything fresh and kills the monotony. Marija is very knowledgable about gardening and whenever she was here she was like a machine going to work in the garden. Nenad focuses more in the heavy physical work and machine work all day like Marija. They have put a lot of work into their property and seeing photos of before it shows their dedication to what they are trying to achieve.
The location is ideal for someone looking to escape city life and be surrounded in nature in rural Croatia. You are located in a small village about a 30 minute walk or 10 minute bike ride to the town of Dubrava. You can even hitchhike to Zagreb from Dubrava or you can hitchhike to Vrbovec and catch a train to Zagreb. Accommodation is quite comfortable with you usually having a room to yourself but sometimes sharing with another volunteer depending on how many are currently there. Nenad is a great cook and cooked many Croatian and Bosnian dishes that I have never tried before which was a plus. There is also a number of neighbors who are incredibly friendly and generous. From sharing homemade wine/liquor, meals, desserts and having fun by playing Fifa, Uno, Bela, Or Ludo.
Nenad has a ton of great stories about his time abroad driving trucks and working on ships all over the world along with first hand experience about living in Yugoslavia which was fascinating to hear about.
If you are at all curious about this place or interested in learning about regenerative farming I highly recommend this place Nenad and Marija have built and you won't be disappointed.

We wish to thoroughly recommend Nick. He is a thoroughly nice guy, a real gentleman and very good company.
He is a very competent guy who gets on with the job and takes pride in all that he does - he likes to finish whatever he starts - using his initiative when necessary. We were enormously pleased with all the work he did for us during his 2… read more

My two month stay at this farm was a great experience. Jonathan was very welcoming to me and everyone else that came and went during my time there. During my time the number of volunteers varied between 7 and 14 with various nationalities and personalities creating a nice mix of internationals with native English speakers to help with volunteers… read more

We owe a big thank you to Nick for surviving Covid-19 lockdown with The Straws! It was the strangest few months, lots of uncertainty as to when it would end and how things would pan out. However, through all Nick was a very respectful guest, he was curtious, polite and worked hard for all the hours needed. He spent hours clearing nettles, fencing,… read more

After spending a week in the airport I owe a lot to Alex and Nick for welcoming to me into their home during the chaos of lockdown and everything else happening currently still. I was treated with such great care and respect unlike any other place I had been to since. I spent three months and some change doing various bits and bobs around the… read more

Nicholas stayed and helped us with the hostel and made an amazing work with caring about guest and the staff. We definitely highly recommend him if you are looking for someone dedicated hard working and someone to trust. He is trustworthy and very efficient.

Verona and Juli made my four month stay feel like home. They treated me like a member of their family and I am incredibly grateful for it. The hostel is a 10 minute walk from the city center which is great since you can get to anywhere in Tirana in about 30 minutes by walking. There is also the new bazar that is only a couple minutes walk from the… read more

We loved having Nick here as part of our team. He was here for two months and picked up the work very quickly and was a great worker. He fit in well at the hostel and we were sad to see him go! We would definitely recommend him and hope to see him in the future sometime.

My two month stay here was a great time in the hostel and in Prishtina. The owners Arben and Asdren are very helpful and accommodating during my stay and the work was straight forward and easy mainly being general cleaning and housekeeping or working reception. Prishtina has a lot of offer for historical and cultural immersion and with the hostel… read more

After spending a month at Girtenmühle I can see why everyone raves about this place. From the first night to the last it was a great experience. The team of Dom, Gidi, and Vincent who run the place are really great at making you feel welcome and wanted as a member of their ever changing team of volunteers, family, and friends. Being enclosed by… read more
