UPDATE 2024

No further workaway projects planned in 2024

*************

Hi there,
I'm Algimantas (Algi to most people) from Hamburg. Since 2014 I am using this brilliant platform here now to get around places and I really don't see an end coming.
After finishing my apprenticeship in warehouse logistics I work now in a huge warehouse. As much as I do enjoy and appreciate my life here in Hamburg, I still have to get some change into this everyday life. I love spending time abroad from time to time, getting to know new interesting places and people of other cultures, finding out the differences and the similarities. I'm also interested in getting a closer look at different ways of life, the people are choosing. At the same time I also want to improve and use my English and see how far I can get with it.
I'm a peaceful person and I enjoy to keep company with people and learn from their stories and their opinions on all kinds of things. It's important for me, that the host - who is after all sharing his living space and meals with me - feels he is also getting something out of this. So a fair give and take on both sides is a fundamental base.

I look foward to meet you!

More details about your skills
I would consider myself physically fit and quite a hard worker as well. I'm not a professional but in general I'm eager to do any work that you can offer. There has been a lot of garden work in the past workaway projects and some basic work in contruction and refurbishing from time to time.
So far the most things I did in my past workaway projects were:
- weeding
- cut the lawn (strimmer, lawn mower, a riding mower once)
- pruning hedges
- taking care of vegetables and fruits
- taking care of animals (cocks, hens, turkeys, dogs, cats)
- chopping wood
- construction work
- mixing concrete to create solid paths
- building up a stone wall using a chalk-mix
- putting up a room with studs and panel walls
- plastering it (not like a professional, but ok for the first time, I'd like to refine that skill)
- helping sell crops at local markets
- painting walls and handrails
- general household work
- help the elderly with computers

So! If you think I'm a suitable workawayer for your place and you have some work for me, you can contact me anytime and we can work out the details.

The workaway's experience with Algi was exceptional! First, according to the circunstances : my brother died just a few days before Algi's arrived, and he agreed to come and help me, and even to stay a few days alone at home with the animals.
Everything went very well because Algi is an independent, responsible young man, with good contact with… read more

It was a really nice experience at Catherine's place near Montpellier for me. I was able to see her way of living and learn to live a more natural way for the future. As Catherine already described it is very basic, so don't expect a five star luxury accommodation.

Catherine is a wonderful and energetic woman. I hope I will have at least a bit of… read more

I enjoyed my stay at Michael's place. I was looking for a workaway host, who is quite alternative in the way he lives and thinks, and that's what I found in the end, so I'm very pleased with my stay. I got to work and hang out with a guy from Ireland, a girl from France and a german guy. So the cultural exchange was pretty awesome. I got a chance… read more

Véronique and Gérard were wonderful hosts. I was treated very friendly and with much respect. Me and Véronique were able to arrange a schedule so that I could help out with the garden and also would have many chances to visit Paris. The food during lunchtime was fantastic and I could also enrich my cultural knowledge with some nice french dishes.… read more

I had a pleasent time at Tommy's place. He has a really nice apartment with a terrace outside (including a hammock), so it was easy to find some time to relax and get a break from everyday life for me.
But I was also able to do some nice hiking and city trips in the region. I can recommend the Le Soliat, the stone bridge of Areuse, the city of… read more

I'm very satisfied to have spend my last 2 weeks here. The work was hard in the beginning, but as time passed I got into it really well. And in the end of every work day there was always a nice meal as a reward created by Fiona and Daniel. I was able to learn more about construction work (Daniel has a wide range of knowledge) and still found the… read more

I am very happy with my stay at Maria's and Karl's place. They were very welcoming and considerate towards me. I even got to the supermarket with Maria and could pick whatever I liked to eat, which I found very cool.
The accomodation wouldn't be a fit to everyone, but it is what it is, as it is described in the profile. They were being honest… read more

It was a pleasure hosting Algi during his stay - organised, enthusiastic and we were pleased to see he made the most of his time here, getting to know the region and still managing to get some very useful work done at our place in the friendly spirit of workaways. It was great to see how Algi, Alvaro and Alex all got along so well too.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Adam's and Claire's place. They're both considerate and nice people, who have always interesting stories and opinions to share.
For the first time ever me and Alvaro, another workawayer from Spain, had to do studding, plastering and building a wall consisting of big stones and a chalk-mix. I think those were all… read more

We really like Algi... Hard working with a great dry sense of humour. Algi stayed at a time when the volunteers could not have been more diverse and he got on well with the whole group. Algi joined in with everything Thankyou! Please make sure you return to see our progress or make some more concrete perhaps :-) Julian and Sarah

This is the place at which I think I worked the hardest, but also learned the most in only 2 weeks. I learned a lot about working more efficiently and got a really good insight into a (to me) whole new kind of way to live.
