Description
Hello great Workaway hosts,

I am a 36 year old American who loves to travel and find cool projects in the places I go. I'm very familiar with the work exchange situation, and I try to keep the mindset of working without pay with me in everything I do. I studied Biology in college, and I love being in the natural world. I like challenges, adventures, people, and generally expanding my outlook on life. I feel that living with people from other cultures is priceless.

Currently, I am enrolled in a MSc Biology program in Budapest. I'm looking to find a nice place to do a master's thesis on Traditional Ecological Knowledge (T.E.K.). This pretty much means that I would like to learn from local families who understand the region's ecology, and translate it from qualitative information into a quantitative scientific publication. The aim of this sort of research is to try and bridge the gap between the world of hard science and local knowledge (i.e. conservation and human rights). The only way to learn about local ways is to help out and work with the locals. This is why I am hoping to use workaway to conduct my thesis.

I grew up in the countryside on a small farm in North Carolina and I've also ran my own small farms for the past several years, so I am very familiar with farm work, and don't mind getting my hands dirty or working under the sun:)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have plenty of experience with agriculture, food, animals, construction, music, art, and most kinds of people. I have a varies set of skills though I can't claim to be master of any of them :).
I have wwoofed and worked-away before and really enjoy the work exchange system. Some of the things I've worked with include: woodworking, masonry, permaculture, animal care (pigs, sheep, horses, donkeys ect.), tree house building, renovation, and sustainable construction. In America, I worked as a restaurant cook for almost 4 years and during my travels I have really enjoy learning new kinds of cuisine. I'm also a TESOL certified English teacher, have been a volunteer coordinator, and a fisheries biologist in Alaska.

We spent almost 2 weeks at Baris and Senem's place and it was an amazing experience. Truly off the grid and in an incredible forest surrounded by wild horses and absolutely no sounds from any road. The working atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and they understood everyone's needs or desires. Nights were spent with wine and music or just good… read more

Seville and Mehmet are wonderful people, really generous. We spent too weeks there and would recommend it to people who like to be away from the city. There is a really cool castle there and also a beautiful reservoir nearby. They helped us with lots of different things and really showed how much they cared about us.

We spent 2 weeks at this beautiful place. We never forget these nice people, with whom we shared a house (Katrina, Ash - forever in our hearts). It's impressing, how many dogs the shelter has and how people there do their best, to help almost 500 dogs.
Somebody could say, that the work there is really hard, but if you enjoy it you never notice… read more

I had an incredible time on the boat! We worked hard, played hard and ate really well. Massimo is one of a kind, easy to joke around with and knows a lot about cooking, although in my opinion he likes lemon and cumino a little too much :). I learned a lot there and I hope to return some day to see how the projects have come along. Thank you for… read more

From Eugene: Nathan worked with me during two weeks, but suddenly he left project not by my wish and not by his wish. Most jobs he did was wood surface maintenance on boats and he did it perfect way. No any complains about accuracy, responsibility and quality of job. Good worker at all with good level of handyman skills. Modest guy capable to… read more

Nate was a great workawayer and a good cook, and he could turn his hand to anything - we couldnt find enough work to keep him busy :)
We would love to have him back if he travels this way again or meet him in Boone.
We only wish we could have had more work organised for ya.
Good luck with your Travels Nate.

I had the pleasure of staying with this family for two weeks, and they were excellent hosts. They live in a beautiful part of Ireland, which was fun to explore.

Nath fitted in really well from the first day here. He was quick to learn and really easy to get along with and have around. He instinctively knew when and where help was needed, and although most of the work was with horses he was a fantastic help in the house. We were really sorry to see him go and he will be really missed.
He always made the… read more
