Description

Hello! My name is Angelo Pira, I am 19 years old and I live in the Netherlands. I am currently in my second year of studying Earth Sciences at Utrecht University, where I am interested in water-related topics.

I am looking for a fun Workaway destination during the upcoming Christmas holiday, around late December 2026 and early January 2027. I am open to different locations and would be happy to discover a new place. My dates are flexible, so I can adapt to what works best for the host.

I would really like to experience everyday life in another country rather than just visiting as a tourist. I enjoy discovering new landscapes, cultures and people, and I would love to contribute to a host while exploring a new area.

I also want to continue improving my English. I already have a basic level and can communicate in English, but speaking fluently and confidently is still something I am working on. I am currently actively trying to improve my English, and I hope that a Workaway with English-speaking people can help me practise it in everyday situations.

I already have some Workaway experience. Last summer, I spent two weeks doing a Workaway in Ireland. I mainly helped with gardening and outdoor work, including mowing lawns and pruning. I really enjoyed the experience of living and working in a different environment, meeting new people and contributing to the place where I was staying. I had a very good experience there, and it made me want to do another Workaway.

I am broadly interested in different kinds of work and I am happy to learn new skills. I particularly enjoy practical, hands-on work and working outdoors, but I am also interested in working with people, animals, plants, maintenance, construction, hospitality or other tasks that a host may need help with. I do not expect to already know everything — I enjoy learning by doing and am willing to try something new.

Alongside my studies, I still work at a plant nursery. Most of my work takes place in the greenhouse, where I help care for plants and carry out different practical tasks. I also work at the checkout and help customers. Occasionally, I help with gardening and landscaping work in the nursery’s gardens. This has given me practical experience with plants and outdoor work.

Before working at the nursery, I worked for one year in a hardware store, mainly at the checkout and customer service desk. This gave me experience working with customers and being responsible for different tasks in a busy environment.

I have also gained experience with travelling and living outdoors. As part of my university studies, I spent four weeks camping at different locations in southern France during fieldwork. Living and working outdoors for several weeks taught me to be adaptable, independent and comfortable in new environments.

In my free time, I love spending time in nature. I enjoy hiking and exploring beautiful landscapes, but I also like visiting towns and cities to experience their atmosphere and history. I enjoy cooking, like being around animals, and always appreciate being outdoors.

I would describe myself as a calm and easy-going person. I enjoy having conversations and getting to know new people. I am respectful of other people’s homes and ways of living, and I am happy to help wherever I can.

I also hope to return to Ireland in the summer of 2027. I really enjoyed my previous Workaway experience there and would love to return to the same host again. I may also combine this with another Workaway somewhere else in Ireland, as I would like to explore more of the country while having another Workaway experience.

I have a driving licence, although I still have limited driving experience. I am willing to work hard, learn new things and contribute wherever I am needed. I hope to have another great Workaway experience, improve my English, discover a new place and meet interesting people along the way!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have experience with a variety of practical and hands-on work. I currently work at a plant nursery, mainly in the greenhouse where I take care of plants and perform different maintenance tasks. I also work at the checkout, which has given me experience with customer service and working in a team. Occasionally, I have done basic gardening and landscaping work in the nursery’s gardens, which I enjoyed and would like to improve further.

Before this, I worked for several years at a hardware store, also at the checkout and customer service desk. This helped me develop communication skills, responsibility, and the ability to stay calm and helpful when working with people.

I am comfortable with physical work, outdoor tasks, and routine jobs, but I also enjoy learning new skills and trying different types of work. During my studies in Earth Sciences, I have done fieldwork, including a four-week camping period in southern France, which required independence, adaptability, and teamwork in changing environments.

I would say my strengths are that I am reliable, calm, eager to learn, and easy to work with. I am motivated to help wherever needed, whether it is outdoor work, gardening, basic maintenance, or helping around the house or project site.
