Description
Hi everyone, I've been living in the bustling city of London for the past two years working as a Filmmaker. As much as I love this City, I think it's a good idea to take a break and gain new experiences and broaden my horizons with Workaway. I love being around nature, the outdoors, sports, climbing, cycling and Film are just some of my passions as well as helping other people. Working, learning and sharing with other people is what I am looking for.
I've recently finished writing my first Feature Film, and we plan to shoot the Film in Boston next year, which is very exciting. But now that the script is finished, I want to come and help YOU on YOUR project, meet new people and create happy memories and crucially, experience how you live your life. I have a wide variety of skills available to youI, I can promise to dedicate myself to your work, I also make a mean cup of Irish tea or coffee, which I will insist you need to try! Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Mark

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have honed a strong ability for creative thinking and problem solving over the years, which I put to logical use. I am a trained Barista/Café person, I also posses strong communication skills when working with other people in a team, I did Workaway in Sweden last year where I learned general maintenance and DIY skills. I can adapt pretty quickly to learning new tasks. I have a small understanding of how to fix bicycles, having worked in a bike/cafe repair shop for a period. I also have worked extensively in hospitality as a waiter, so I understand a lot about food and service :)
I have a keen interest in the outdoors, building gardening, maintenance. Contributing and committed to maintain a good atmosphere..

It was a pleasure to host Mark for a week in march 2021. He proved to be good company and a good help. He joined us wherever we needed him without a fuss.

Katrin and Justus are fantastic considerate hosts, it was a busy week there as we were helping Frowin construct the cultural centre, but ti didn't matter, we had fun, laughs and made some good friends. I also enjoyed helping Katrin on her project.

Mark was only due to stay a week or two last year til he found a flat in Edinburgh but landed up staying over 3 months! (We were happy, as he was great) Mark helped with a bit of everything over that time and was a great asset to the household and a friend and would welcome him back anytime.

Tsewang is a fantastic host. Humble and funny, wise and gentle. She knows how to maintain a good balance in life. She gave me the freedom to take responsibility for my project, which was making really cool bamboo blinds! Hope your well Tsewang. Mark
