Descrição
I have spent the majority of my adult life living and travelling around the UK on various different boats, from narrow boats on the canal system to sailing boats around the coast. I've started to feel that this type of traveling has become too "safe"... after all wherever I have gone I've had my home with me.
So now is time for a new period in my life to widen my horizons, which can all to easily narrow as we mature and travel, meet new people, share experience and try to help others.
My experience with boats means I'm competent with off grid living and have no problems with electrical, plumbing or maintenance work.
In a work and voluntary settings, I have experience of working with volunteers, advice giving, child protection, end of life visiting...and much much more!

Quais são suas habilidades?
I am competent with electrical work, both mains and off grid, as well as plumbing and general maintenance. I have fitted out numerous boats and completed all the electrical, plumbing, gas, woodwork etc. myself, although I don't have formal qualifications in any of these.
Outside of manual work I have experience with working with volunteers and third sector organisations as well as advice provision and child protection. I've also undertake end of life visiting.

Overall an amazing experience. The other volunteers were wonderful and the staff at the school are as welcoming and friendly as you could want. The real joy is the students who are truly appreciative of your help and amazingly keen to learn.

Deixado pelo anfitrião (Come and help in a natural ...) para o Workawayer (Paul )

Paul is a 5-star workawayer (or above), without any doubt. If he ever contacts you, it is your lucky day... Not only he is extremely helpful for whatever help you would need but more important, it is the attitude he has all the time. Always smiling, always in a good mood, always on time, very funny (english sense of humour), you will get used to… read more
