Beschreibung

Hello great Workaway hosts,

I am a 36 year old American who loves to travel and find cool projects in the places I go. I'm very familiar with the work exchange situation, and I try to keep the mindset of working without pay with me in everything I do. I studied Biology in college, and I love being in the natural world. I like challenges, adventures, people, and generally expanding my outlook on life. I feel that living with people from other cultures is priceless.

Currently, I am enrolled in a MSc Biology program in Budapest. I'm looking to find a nice place to do a master's thesis on Traditional Ecological Knowledge (T.E.K.). This pretty much means that I would like to learn from local families who understand the region's ecology, and translate it from qualitative information into a quantitative scientific publication. The aim of this sort of research is to try and bridge the gap between the world of hard science and local knowledge (i.e. conservation and human rights). The only way to learn about local ways is to help out and work with the locals. This is why I am hoping to use workaway to conduct my thesis.

I grew up in the countryside on a small farm in North Carolina and I've also ran my own small farms for the past several years, so I am very familiar with farm work, and don't mind getting my hands dirty or working under the sun:)

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I have plenty of experience with agriculture, food, animals, construction, music, art, and most kinds of people. I have a varies set of skills though I can't claim to be master of any of them :).
I have wwoofed and worked-away before and really enjoy the work exchange system. Some of the things I've worked with include: woodworking, masonry, permaculture, animal care (pigs, sheep, horses, donkeys ect.), tree house building, renovation, and sustainable construction. In America, I worked as a restaurant cook for almost 4 years and during my travels I have really enjoy learning new kinds of cuisine. I'm also a TESOL certified English teacher, have been a volunteer coordinator, and a fisheries biologist in Alaska.
