Description

Hello! My name is George, and I am from a small farming community in Wales. I recently finished a degree in biology, and want to continue travelling and learning new things and working all around the world, something I am very passionate about! I have been very lucky and have had the opportunities to work in several countries through work away and other jobs (South Africa, Australia, France, Italy). I am passionate about languages and am trying to learn multiple new ones in my spare time :). I have recently become interested in North African and Islamic culture, and would love the oppurtunity to learn more about it.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have a lot of experience in farming, having grown up on a small farmstead where we had sheep, pigs and chickens, alongside an organic garden. When I turned 18 I moved to Australia for a year, where I worked as a farmhand/labourer for a 5000 hectare cereal and sheep farm. I have experience in fence building, general maintenance, some construction, and a lot of gardening experience. I used to maintain and help gardenening and care for small farm animals for the local community growing up. At one point I also worked for a pheasant shoot, where my tasks included general labour, fencing, animal care and land management.

I have spent 3 stints as an au-pair in my life, having spent 4 months in Rome looking after three children, and 2 summers near Bordeaux looking after 2 children. During these stints i was resposible for the children, teaching them english, helping them make sure there homework was done, cooking meals for them, and helping them have as much fun as possible! And my role in France went beyond looking after kids, as I was responsible for the gardening/maintenance and renovation of the disused chateau I found myself in with the au-pair family. in France, I was also sometimes a stable boy, aiding in the care and management of the several family racehorses when the father was travelling for work. I am also DBS checked.

In a more academic sense, my studies focus on sustainable farming, and I am planning on completing my masters degree in this. At university I have been building my understanding of holistic land management and food production, which is partially responsible for my desire to workaway, to gain experience and experience farming in different cultures.

I have a full Uk driving licence, and have experience driving a lot of vehicles including, but not limited to; Motorbikes, tractors, combine harvesters, lorries, truck and trailers, mini-diggers and ATVs. I also have skills in power tool use, including chainsaws, as well as some experience welding. My father's second job is as an antique dealer, so when Im home I help him out with that business and so therefore have some experience in antiques and furniture, particulalry British Art Deco furniture.

I have done multiple Workaway style expereinces in my life (through websites such as Aupair World and WWOOF) including:
- cleaned at a yoga studio in Melbourne
- Au paired France and Italy
- Organice farming In South Africa
