Description
I’m an avid traveler, reader, and musician. I think the best way to get to know a place is through the locals, and it enriches the experience of being in a certain country. I love working with my hands, so Workaway seems like a perfect platform for me. Happiness is a good cup of tea.

More details about your skills
I’ve been working with my hands all my life. I worked on traditional ships and studied industrial design in university, as well as working in carpentry and guitar building-so chances are if you’ve got a house project, I can help! I speak English and Hebrew fluently (and a smattering of other languages poorly), play piano and guitar, am a great cook, and love a good conversation. I love working with kids too, I used to teach children’s martial arts during high school and university under the main teacher.

Pawan and Marloes are excellent hosts and wonderful people whose dedication to homesteading, natural building and permaculture is inspiring to witness. Throughout my 2 weeks on the farm they were always willing to share their knowledge and expertise.

Elan is a guy to get along with easily - from the moment he came to us he was part of the family. As he is very open-hearted and communicative we became friends very quickly. He fulfilled every task we gave him very well and he spent an entire afternoon in the kitchen to prepare a traditional jewish dinner for us.
We are happy to have hosted him!… read more

Where to begin. Although my time with Carmelo, Lilliana, and Lorenzo was short, it is probably the most meaningful and memorable experience I have had in Italy thus far. The trio epitomizes the warm Italian family-from the second I arrived I was treated like a member of the family, any pretenses of distance being non-existant. I arrived late at… read more

It was a pleasure to have Elan spend time with us as our first workaway. He communicated well about his arrival and also during his time with us. We put his woodworking skills to good use having him build a screen for the bathroom in our trullo and a small door. He is fit and active and had no difficulty with the tasks we had for him. He was… read more

Ann & Fergus are a lovely couple, who welcomed me as their first Workawayer with open arms. In typical Aussie fashion they were friendly and frank, and I immediately felt comfortable around them. Living with them was quite easy, and we shared every meal (Ann is a great cook, making wonderful vegetarian dishes). The work and exploration was a 50/50… read more
