France - du Mai 2025 au Aoû 2025 Voir toutDescription
I am extremely excited about retiring soon after my 64th birthday and travelling in early 2025. I embraced workaway in Portugal for 1 month in 2023 and then I travelled across Europe for 3 months in 2024 and I intend to do the same in spring/summer 2025 when I permanently change my lifestyle.
I am a solo traveller who has a desire to work and contribute whilst exploring. My main opportunities for work will be in the agricultural industries, including fruit farms and vineyards. I am also available to house and farm sit or to help with DIY or help with restoration projects. I am a competent cook, albeit with limited experience, and i am also a qualified mathematics teacher and sports coach.
On the workaway website, it says that there is no upper age limit, but i am realistic with my expectations as, although i am fully fit and have no health issues, i may not be able to match the pace and intensity of some of the younger generation. I will be travelling alone in my own transport. As a former military officer of 30 years, i am able to problem solve and handle challenges with calm composure.
I stumbled on workaway website by accident and have viewed the content with great interest; i am hoping that this community will be the gateway to the next phase of my life.
