  Description

  We are a family of 4. We have a boy 9 yo and a girl 8 yo and we live in a village in the center of Romania. We all like to travel, meet new people and have new experiences. Lau and Andra, the kids, enjoy playing outside, reading, biking and hiking. We all love animals and country life.
  For the last 5 years I,ve build my own house and so I learned a lot about how to work with wood, tools, bricks, clay, lime, electricity and so on. Also I've been working on our old apple orchard farm and our own garden, taking care of our chickens, dogs, helping neighbors with herding animals
  But usually I work with small companies, social businesses and NGO's as management consultant or community projects.
  I traveled in South America, Asia, Europe and Africa and I always looked for ways to volunteer or better connect with the local people this is why I joined Workaway. I want to understand the local place and the people that leave on it and working alongside them I think is the best way.
