Descrição

Hi! My name is Franco, I’m from Argentina and I’m currently based in Tauranga, New Zealand.

I came to New Zealand to experience the lifestyle, meet new people, learn about the culture and help with practical projects while living and travelling here.

I’m a hands-on, practical and reliable person. I enjoy fixing things, building, maintaining spaces and finding solutions when something needs to be done. Over the years I have worked in different areas including IT support, software development, general mechanics, automotive repairs, construction, home repairs, basic electrical work, plumbing, gas-related maintenance, gardening, farm work and general property maintenance.

I’m happy to help around a home, farm, garden or lifestyle property with maintenance, repairs, cleaning, organising, outdoor work, basic building support, mechanical tasks, animal care and daily routines.

I also have practical experience with vehicle maintenance, tools, trailers, pumps, water pipes, taps, sinks, toilets, drainage, light fixtures, switches and general repair tasks. I always try to work safely and carefully, and I understand that some electrical, plumbing or gas jobs may require a licensed professional depending on the situation and local regulations.

I’m also good with technology, so I can help with computers, phones, printers, Wi-Fi, routers, smart TVs, emails, software issues and general tech problems. I’m patient and I enjoy explaining things in a simple way.

People usually describe me as calm, reliable, hardworking and easy to get along with. I can work independently, but I also enjoy teamwork and learning from others.

I’m not afraid of physical work and I’m happy to help wherever I’m needed. For me, Workaway is a great opportunity to connect with people, share experiences, help with meaningful projects and learn more about life in New Zealand.

I’m always happy to help, learn and be part of a good team.

Mais detalhes sobre meu interesse em idiomas
Spanish is my native language, so I’m always happy to help others practice or learn Spanish if they are interested. I understand English quite well, but I would really like to improve my speaking and gain more confidence in everyday conversations. One of my goals while traveling is to practice English regularly. I also have basic knowledge of German and I’m interested in continuing to improve it as well. For me, learning languages is a great way to connect with people, share cultures and create meaningful experiences during travel.

Algo mais...

I love fixing things, doing mechanics, working with technology, building projects and helping wherever I can. I’m a practical person and I enjoy learning new skills while contributing to useful and meaningful projects.

I’m currently in New Zealand and I’m interested in experiencing real local life, not just travelling as a tourist. I take every opportunity seriously and I always try to be respectful, reliable and useful to the people who welcome me.

I have a strong personal motivation to build a stable and responsible future, and that makes me appreciate every opportunity even more. I like to give my best, learn from others and contribute with a positive attitude.

I enjoy meeting new people, sharing experiences and learning about different cultures. I’m curious, adaptable and always looking for ways to improve the things around me, whether it is a practical repair, a technology problem, a DIY task or a project around the house or property.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places, working on personal projects, learning new things and sometimes playing board games.

For me, Workaway is not just volunteering. It is an opportunity to connect with people, share cultures, help with real projects and learn from everyday life in New Zealand.
