Descrição

*Currently helping at the NGO theatre in Skillinge Sweden*

Greetings to all, and thanks for dropping by my profile 🙂

My name is Anton. Coming from Estonia 🇪🇪, but been scattered all over Europe since 2013, with all my belongings fitting in my backpack.

Basically, I'm an enthusiast for everything related to building, renovating, fixing etc stuff, been painting chairs and building roofs and everything in between across Europe 🙂

📌What kind of person am I?
I'm often been told I'm very independent and self-driven in my projects. I do enjoy being part of a good team, but feeling comfortable in my own company as well. Otherwise I'm rather quiet, but enjoy a nice conversation. I'm flexible, laid-back and quite non-chalant, but do get frustrated easily by ineficciencies and bad manners. And I guess I'm really curious and enjoy being around people who are passionate about something, anything.

📌What are your interests?
Generally, animals and being in the nature. I enjoy long bike rides and discovering hiking paths. Spend evenings with a book, or occasional video editing. If there are animals around, then probably you'll find me petting them 🙂 In the recent years, I've grown a big interest in everything about building and renovating, especially historical buildings, or natural building techniques. Have no particular interest in parties and alcohol 🙂

📌Why am I on Workaway?
Joined in 2014 due to desire to prolong my stay in France after my ESC project ended. But it became less about traveling and more about education and self-discovery. This platform has allowed me to gain experiences and hone skills I would not have access to in 'regular lifestyle'. By putting myself in different situations and environments, I've learned a lot about the world around me, but especially about myself. But primarily, I don't choose the country, I choose the project on the basis of what can I learn there 🙂
