Descrição
I need to be occupied both physically and mentally. Last year I finished renovating my house in France and needed another project to keep me occupied. So I completed 2 weeks of Workaway work on a farm one hour north of Bordeaux in France. I am now back in Australia until mid year before heading back to France. I undertook another Workaway job in Brisbane on returning to Australia and have just returned from New Zealand after a month's Workaway experience.

Quais são suas habilidades?
I have a large range of DIY skills having recently completed the renovation of my 400 year old house in the Languedoc region in southern France. I needed another project after that and a friend suggested "Workaway" and it has been the solution for me. I am an avid gardener in formal or bushland gardens as well as in the growing of vegetables and fruit trees. I have been an active member of a coastal native revegetation body in Victoria.
I am also interested in languages and taught English in Morocco and Uganda where my son and I are involved in a charity supporting a school close to the Tanzanian border.
Idade
76
Algo mais...
I have the Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adults Certificate from Cambridge University and am off to work at an English school in Poland in August.
I am keen on maintaining a high level of physical fitness with cycling, stand up paddle boarding, bush walking, camping and swimming among my pursuits.
I enjoy meeting and having decent conversations with people from different backgrounds and nationalities.

I have just had a few days working at Yurpia’s. It was a lovely experience to stay with someone who is so attached to the natural world and to be in such a peaceful setting. Her knowledge of native flora and fauna is amazing . The standard of accommodation and quality and quantity of the meals she provided is second to none.

Paul was a great worker with many skills.
He secured my chicken pen ,so now they are sheltered from the elements.
He is a great conversationalist and has a good sense of humour.
I wish him well on his adventures.

A super useful Workawayer with lots of energy and ideas. Able to work without supervision, and with plenty of intitiative to see what needed to be done. Paul has a wealth of experience to draw on in maintenance and gardening, and is also interested in others and their activities. A very good Workawayer to host, and I would happily host again.

I have just completed 2 lovely weeks of workawaying with Linda. My work consisted of gardening and handyman tasks. Orere Point is a beautiful peaceful part of the north island and yet only about an hour from Auckland. The quality of my accommodation was second to none as were the meals in both quality and quantity as well as variety. But more… read more

If there was a gold star award for Workaways then Paul would win it. He has a strong work ethic, is very capable and can turn his hand to most tasks. Most importantly he works unsupervised and will find himself jobs to do if he gets everything finished (which he did a lot!) After two weeks he had built a new firewood shelter, then he felled trees… read more

Wow!!! What an amazing experience I had on Kawau Island with Pippa and Greg. I have travelled far and wide around the world but this island is a touch of paradise. If that wasn't enough, Pippa and Greg were wonderful hosts. The quality of the meals and my own private accommodation was second to none. There was a wide range of tasks undertaken,… read more

Paul was very helpful and an accomplished handyman.
He was both energetic and willing to do any of the small repairs and yard clean up for me.
Paul was good company who enjoyed a glass of wine and conversation over meals.
I highly recommend him.

(Muito Bom)

I loved my time with Marie. When there were tasks that i could not do alone, Marie was there to help. Otherwise Marie left me to get on with the job.
She is a wonderful conversationalist with a good sense of humour. And to top it off, Marie is a great cook and the servings were large. I am glad that I helped her with her project.

Paul is a super great man, 76 and clever, dynamic, with common sense, experience, reaching out to all trades, easy going, ...as he says , 30 in his head and healthy. Youngest people should take him as an example! Do take care of him if you have the chance to have him at home!

I have just completed a week working with Elodie. I enjoyed the type of work especially given the type of person Elodie is.
We worked together when the task at hand required it, otherwise I was left alone to do my job. The accommodation provided was excellent but more importantly was the generosity of Elodie in providing wonderful meals and her… read more
