Description
Who am I?
Hi there! I'm retired and I love to travel, meet people, discover and learn! I've done a lot of traveling most of it outdoors. Real nature guy so to speak. I’ve heard about workaway from a host a few years ago and decided that’s the way I want to travel for at least a year. It seems to me that this is a way I can travel at an easy pass, best learn about new cultures and the way of life at different parts of our beautiful planet.
I grew up on a farm with cattle and agriculture. I didn’t follow my dad’s footsteps but I'm a very skillful guy who always sees possibilities and I'm very creative in my approach. I’m physically fit and strong and I can’t wait to get started.
When can you expect me?
As of September 2018 I'm as free as a bird and able to travel anywhere that I'm needed. I would like to travel from Alaska to Australia via North and South Amerika but I have no travel plans as of yet so feel free to contact me if you want to suggest a destination where I can contribute.
I keep myself in a good condition, by playing golf, hiking and riding my bike. I have a huge garden which takes up a lot of my time. I'm a hands on person. In short, I'm hardworking and not afraid to get my hands dirty. If you need a positive, creative person who is willing to help just drop a line and I will get back to you.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Well, all sorts of things. I see challenges as an opportunity. Cleaning, building, carpeting, painting, working on a farm in the broadest sense, to some degree I can help with cooking.

I'm a happy and simple person. I need a place to sleep and a meal. I love stories though and a good laugh is well appreciated. And of course would like to learn about your culture.

Fantastic to cross every project off my " need help " list ..... we trimmed hooves, modified a building, and importantly lifted and installed roof beams for the last barn construction progress.
Jan brought ideas and skills, energy and willingness to be that help.
I am grateful.

A fantastic place to be as a workawayer. Enthusiastic about her animals and her environmentally friendly way of doing her work. The way she grows her own vegetables demands respect. I am very grateful that I was able to help her with that. It is a workaway host that I would like to recommend.

Jan in my opinion is a 75 year old Superman. Not only did he work hard with me for the agreed daily 4 hours during hot conditions but after a shower and lunch he took off for long daily hikes in steep hilly country for 15 to 20 kilometers. That is very, very impressive in my book for a man of his maturity. Jan has many skills to offer and loves… read more

What a place to stay as a workawayer. A house on top of a hill that overlooks a beautiful rolling landscape. In her garden beautiful statues and sculptures, made by Margi herself. And Margi herself is full of stories about the creation of her palace. Work together with Margi was a pleasure.
Thank you Margi for having me. This is a place you want… read more

What an experience. Get away from civilization and enjoy the outback. The Ranch is about a 2-hour drive from Mitchell in a rolling area. Together with the surroundings, the sunrise and sunset are an experience in themselves. It is so beautiful that it makes you silent. Doll, Dave and the two children Jock and Zoe ensured that you would not want… read more

Jan was a pleasure to host. He is the best! And, I told him so. He is very talented and capable, responsible and dependable. Jan was able to see things that needed to be done and did them without my having to ask. I would have loved for him to have stayed and hated to see him go. Not only did he help me so much with things that needed to be… read more

If you are looking for a nice place to work, Lindy is the place to be. She lives in a quiet neighborhood. She has a range of activities around her house, which you can organize yourself and she regularly works with you. Lindy makes sure that you come into contact with other people and she makes time to look at the environment with you. She was… read more

The family is very nice and attending. Mary is a fantastic cook and Troy is an excellent storyteller. Shawn has showed me the farm and it’s animals. The whole family is very dedicated to the farm. They know all the animals by name. I have helped Mary in the garden and Troy with cleaning the house. Almost every day Mary is busy to freeze-dry and… read more

It was a pleasure to have Jan with us! He is an amazing person with a lot of experience in life and building/maintenance. He has a lot of energy despite his age. He is a good spirited person as well! I would recommend him to anyone. In fact, he is currently helping out setting up a campground for a major event, on my recommendation. Jim

Great to work on the farm. The farm is located in the middle of a large forest area on the edge of Mt. Hood National Park. Jim is a perfectionist and can often be found on the farm to help and give advice. In my spare time I enjoyed the many hikes that are located around the farm. Nature here is of unparalleled beauty. If you also like skiing and… read more

Can't find the words to express my feelings for this lodge. Everything you heared about rainforests, you will find here. Tucked away between big trees and winding rivers, Juergen has found a place where you are one with nature. An eldorade for bird watchers and herpetologist. For every nature lover a must to visit. Thank you for that Juergen.

Jan stayed here for a short time and was a great help to us. Jobs included gardening, painting and chipping branches to make compost. He is friendly and I enjoyed chatting with him. He is also a good worker.

Chris and Amelia are very nice people, very helpful. They have a beautiful Ranch just outside Santa Maria del Oro, on a wonderful place. Chris created a kind of English garden in a Mexican surrounding and he has been successful. During my stay he teaches me a lot about gardening and how to do maintenance on his Ranch.
