Description

I'm a 28-year-old guy who was born and raised in Belgium. Since I was young I have been thinking a lot about the way we live our lives. I followed the mainstream way of life, until I realised that I was not happy with the life I lived. I felt that there was so much more to it, things that I hadn't seen and lived yet.

So after feeling stuck for some time, I wanted to try Workaway to explore different ways of living and to challenge myself by getting out of my comfortzone.

In the mean time, I have been doing Workaway for quite some time, and starting this journey has without a doubt been one of the best decisions in my life!

Furthermore, I find peace in nature, and I place a lot of value in genuine connections with other people. I really enjoy helping on a project, and find it really rewarding!

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
Dutch is my native language, and I have a good proficiency in English as well. This means I can help others with learning either of these languages. My French and Spanish are at an intermediate level. I am actively working on improving both and can communicate in both, as long as my conversation partner doesn’t speak too quickly and uses common vocabulary.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Since I started doing Workaway I started practicing some DIY/construction skills. I am still a beginner but I really enjoy learning about it. Things I tried for the first time are placing insulation, plasterboarding, plastering, painting, basic woodwork, etc. I also learned to work with a variety of machines.

I do have some experience in gardening. As gardening itself is quite 'broad', there are things I'm better at and things that are still new to me. I have (some) experience using tools such as strimmers, brush cutters and chainsaws. I have also worked in an orchard before, at one of my previous Workaway places.

In Belgium I worked as a social worker. This helped me to develop my social skills in general. I worked a lot in a team with daily meetings etc.

I have always been sportslike and practised multiple sports. I have a Yoga/training mat with me while doing Workaway for extra physical exercise. I am able to teach flexibility and core stability exercices for beginners.

Very recently, I learned the basics of horseback riding. I really want to do more of this and want to gain more knowledge about these (and other) animals.

Other skills/experiences:
-I speak multiple languages to a decent level (as mentioned above)
-I have a lot of experience driving cars, as I have driven a big amount of different cars (also right-hand drive, vans, 4x4 and even a first experience with tractors).
-Some experience in the hospitality industry as a waiter
-Working organised and precise. When I do things, I do them with a lot of care. I often get told I am a very meticulous person.

Autres infos...

I can enjoy a party on some occasions, but partying and drinking are not what i'm looking for with this experience. However, I don't mind other people having a drink, and may occasionaly join if I feel like it.

I'm health aware but still trying to find my own way in this. I do however respect other peoples views/opninions.
