Description
Hey, I'm Jules. What brings me to workaway is a desire to travel in a more concious, resiprocal and slow way whilst discovering new places and connecting with new people and cultures. I love being outside and spending real time in new places getting to know them. I'm very easy going and I enjoy the simple things in life like a cup of coffee, a hike and a great song. It doesn't take much for me to be happy.
Currently I am planning to be in South Africa for atleast the month of December. I am doing research for my masters thesis in Lüderitz, Namibia and need to spend a month out of the country (for visa purposes) before I can head back to continue my work. I thought South Africa would be a novel way to spend this time and even more so through workaway. I've had very good experiences on workaway so far and on similar platforms so am excited to give this a go in South Africa.
What I can offer is a positive can-do attitude, strong work ethic, good sense of responsibility and skillwise I am fit, I have some experience with labour and DIY and above all I have extensive experience in hospitality as a waiter, manager, bartender and barista. This makes me a team player and I'm used to working alongside other people. I also have experience with film editing and like to do digital creative projects like short film or podcast. I also play the saxophone. Did I mention that I love to cook and have worked for years in catering?
I grew up in Namibia to Dutch parents and have lived in different places such as New Zealand and Mexico but I have spent the bulk of my adult life in the Netherlands where I am based.
I am always happy to call/video call to further introduce myself. -

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I enjoy most forms of manual labour, digging, moving, painting etc... I have worked a lot outside in farms and gardens doing jobs like pruning trees, clearing vegetation, planting etc.
I have worked a lot in the hospitality industry in jobs like restaurant management and catering. This has given me good social skills and also made me a great chef. Currently in The Netherlands I am working as a Paella caterer so I am used to cooking for huge groups of people. I have also worked on sailboats before where my main duties included cooking for the crew.
Besides this as a "skill" I also play the saxophone. -
