Description
Hello! I just quit my job as a computer programmer to take some time travelling. I am currently on a backpacking trip going from Norway to New Zealand and everywhere in between. While on this trip, I hope to learn about different cultures and what daily life is like in places I have never been to. I am an easy going guy with a good work ethic.

I enjoy trying new things. It's fun to be pushed out of my comfort zone and to go into things not knowing what to expect. Some of my hobbies include hiking, fishing, reading, camping, music, exploring, games(board, video, sports). One hobby I would like to learn more about is foraging. I've gone a couple times with others and it was always fun learning about different plants and mushrooms.

I like to hear peoples' minds about any and everything. I think having different opinions on topics can be a good thing. Two of my favorite things to talk about are past travels/ life experiences and science/technology(computers, astronomy, environmental science, etc.). I also like learning about new topics that I haven't formed an opinion on yet. One thing I'd like to expand my knowledge on is spiritualism. Spiritualism hasn't been a big part of my life up to this point and I'd like to change that.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I grew up living in the woods with a family that liked being outdoors. This gave me some experience in clearing trails in the woods, building structures, planting food plots, and driving small machinery. This also gave me a love for being outside and enjoying nature.

Going to college I acquired a degree in computer science. I did this because in high school I was on the robotics team and liked engineering solutions both physically and with software. So I have a knack for solving problems technology related. One thing I've learned while working with technology is it is important to be a quick learner(even if your inexperienced in the area). Technology is always changing which means you have to keep up with the latest and greatest items.

While in college and high school I had 3 jobs that involved teaching others. My first in high school was teaching elementary students how to play sports(football, baseball, soccer). Then in college I taught elementary students science related subjects(robots, rockets, airplanes). Finally in my last year of college I was a teaching assistant helping other students learn basic C . After college, I spent one year being a programmer for an insurance company before I left to embark on my journey!

I love learning new things. I may not be the best to begin with, but I think I am a quick learner. This isn't just for work related items. Learning about new hobbies, games, recipes, lifestyles, religions, etc... is all fun to me.

Personally I am joining workaway to grow as a person and help others along my travels.

Andrew and his friend Kellyan were a great addition to our family for the week before Christmas. Despite a lot of rain, they were willing to help us outside our place every morning and get wet, cold and muddy. They got on really well with our kids, played cards and toddler games, and we had great conversations with them over the dinner table. We… read more

Thanks for the great week spent with your family! It was good time exploring the town, hiking the trails next to your house, and playing games in the evenings. My friend and I got some good inspiration listening to your past and future travels. It was also fun learning some German from Lois(sorry if I spelt his name wrong). I wish you luck with… read more

You can feel his sincerity in him. Even when he's done with his work and it's time for his shift to end, he'll ask if there's anything he can do to help. He's a quiet person, but at the same time, he's also a fun person to be around. One of the most common things he asked was, "Do you need any more help? No matter what kind of work came his way,… read more

I stayed here for 3 weeks and it was a fantastic time. The work I did was helping in the kitchen and with maintenance. Other volunteers also helped with sewing and when it's not winter, they ask for help in the gardens. Speaking of gardens, lots of the food we ate(it was delicious) was all grown right at the center. The Seunims shared their… read more

Andrew is a fantastic lad. He's about as reliable a Workawayer as you could hope for, and he consistently did what was asked of him and more. He's a quick learner and goes about his work well with an ease. He brought a delightful spunk to our hostel as well. A man of many terrific quirks, he has a wonderful sense of humor and a certain charm to… read more

I have completed, 1.5 months working at the hostel which was way too short. This place was freaky in all the right ways. The work wasn't too hard and there was ample training to get up to speed on the tasks. The management was always there for you and they did a great job at forming a community among all the workers. Speaking of the workers,… read more

I stayed at the school for 3 weeks in April. During my time I helped with teaching, the buffalo, and removing weeds. The work overall wasn't too hard and the teaching was straightforward since there was a book to follow along with. My favorite thing was taking the buffalo out to graze and watching them along with the other farmers' buffalos and… read more

My time at Zeljka's was one to remember. The animals coexisting at the sanctuary is a sight to behold. The daily work is easy consisting of picking up poop, feeding animals, and giving them love. You have lots of independent time where you can start your own projects. Past workawayers created beautiful art, but being colorblind I did not. Instead… read more

I helped Fede with olive harvesting for three weeks. The work was simple and I got to learn about all the steps involved(even going to the mill to see them get processed). Staying with Fede and the other volunteers was a delight. When not picking olives, we went to nearby towns/beaches(I was able to work on my pasty white tan), ate good food, and… read more

It was a wonderful time spending a month with the family.

Right from the start I could sense the trust they had in me. If I didn't know how to work something, they always gave clear instructions. I ended up helping with all sorts of tasks including: gardening, mowing, setting up the hanging garden, cutting wood, wiring and plumbing.

My first two… read more
