Description

I'm currently (June 2023) cycling the Danube from Budapest to the Black Sea - more or less, depending what happens en route, i.e. some interesting Workaway opportunities!
On previous travels, I've found that the highlights have usually been the time spent Workawaying. I enjoy sharing and learning skills, the company and cultural insights and having something practical to do.
I love travelling and enjoy meeting people and 'doing something'. For me it's a much better way to really see real life and is more interesting than just sightseeing.
I like rural areas much more than big cities - the kinds of place where people know and look out for each other. I think life is better when it's simple and not at the hectic, noisy pace of a city.
I've had a varied working life - NGO management and development in both the UK and Uganda; I ran my own catering business (Meals on Wheels delivering hot meals to elderly people - more of a social service than a business!); currently work as a 'handyman' (decorating, basic electrics and plumbing, kitchen fitting, carpentry etc) and am a qualified teacher of English as a foreign language. I also converted my van into a campervan so can add that skill list!
I'm easygoing, relaxed and flexible. I enjoy working and doing a good job and am open-minded. I enjoy doing things that make a positive difference to other people. I enjoy learning as much as I enjoy teaching.
I don't smoke. I do eat meat and like a beer or glass of wine sometimes but I'm equally as happy eating vegetarian food and not drinking alcohol for weeks!

Autres infos...

I'm looking for volunteering opportunities with people who love what they are doing, whether that be running a school, a business, an eco project or an NGO, or just living their lives they way they want. A bit of passion for something goes a long way!
I'm happy to do most things and keen to learn new skills as well as use the ones I already have.
