Latest update: still workawaying , but again with my first host for the 6th time. More like family now and not a real workaway feeling anymore :-)
Hi my new potential host!
My name is Quentin and I have been workawaying for more than 2 years now.
I have seen all continents and lived in interesting places ( Australia, Tasmania, Brasil, Hawai, New Zealand, Canada, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Thailand and many many more to write down...)
Native: English and Dutch (Dutch in school, English at home because my international family)
Good: Italian
Basic: French
Enough to survive: German, Portuguese, Spanish, Afrikaans.
Understanding :English, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish, Afrikaans, Portuguese and German.
I have Facebook and whatsapp for faster and easier contact.
I'm looking for accomodation (experiencing the local life in your region) in exchange for working or helping at your place.
The village of Lortet in the French Pyrenees (I've been back 6 times already) was my first workaway and due to this positive feeling and experience, I kept on doing this format.
You can see my references/feedback from most of my previous hosts down below.
I am honest, direct ( can be positive or negative) , I like to help people and energetically strong.
Diploma golf ( hcp 4 ) instructor.
I like ice-hockey and football.
I worked as a guide for cycling groups in the Alps and Pyrenees. I have a golden certificate from the Marmotte Pyrenees 2017.
I'm a hard and dedicated worker.
I am a non (alcohol) drinker and non smoker, but I am mental enough sober ;-)
Not a believer of any religion, sekt, ghosts or spiritual things. I'm an atheist.
But I RESPECT religious people, so I have no problem with it as long as it has no extremes.
I prefer living the local life rather than seeing touristic things.
For example a coffee in a local bar instead of another statue, church, shopping street....
I have literally been living-working around the world so I am pretty experienced with various type of people and their culture-habits-religions-food-way of life etc...
