Descrição

I am based in the UK, am 44 years young and have been surfing for 8 years. I am a Materials Engineer and am taking a career breaking after being made redundant in August 2024. I spent September and October surfing in Indonesia and after being back in the cold and away from the beach for the last few months, I want to get back to a surf destination for a few months. So, I’ve joined Workaway to stretch out my career break and see more of the world.
I believe I have a lot to offer Workaways. I’m good at DIY – I converted my own van into a campervan, have made cabinets in my home and can strip wall paper and paint rooms for days. A lot of workaways require gardening work which also appeals, because I find gardening very satisfying because I love getting my hands in mud and spending the day outdoors. I also enjoy cooking and feeding people and have even catered a yoga retreat and worked in ‘Crew Food’ at a festival.
I am originally from the USA, but have lived in the UK for 21 years. I’m really keen to try living somewhere more remote and learning how to speak Spanish – since my only language is English. Learning another language would open up engineering jobs in surf destinations too.

Mais detalhes sobre meu interesse em idiomas
I would like to be able to practice Spanish on a daily basis or start learning Portugese. I've studied Hebrew and Spanish in school/university but have never been immersed in a country where I could practice the language I was studying.

Algo mais...

I love to sketch plants - it's something I don't do in daily life, but am really inspired to do when travelling.

I'm a great cook and an amateur surfer. Here are some photos of my food creations over the years, and me surfing and skating in Indonesia at the end of 2024: https://photos.app.goo.gl/WW7Rg6ErF4J1xFAJ9

Before becoming an engineer, I was a fine artist. Here is a link to photos of my artwork: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xQ3Wc51y6X73sQPQ6

During my career break I am going to do some remote learning in Data Science and Structural Analysis.
