Description
Hey, I'm Jules. What brings me to workaway is a desire to travel in a more concious, resiprocal way whilst discovering new places and connecting with new people.
I'm very easy going and I enjoy the simple things in life like a cup of coffee, a hike and a sunset. It doesn't take much for me to be happy.
Currently I live in Mexico City on a research excahnge programme, before this I have been living in the Netherlands and before that, I lived in Namibia where I grew up.

More details about your skills
I enjoy most forms of manual labour, digging, moving, painting etc... I have worked a lot outside in farms and gardens doing jobs like pruning trees, clearing vegetation, planting etc.
I have worked a lot in the hospitality industry in jobs like restaurant management and catering. This has given me good social skills and also made me a great chef. Currently in The Netherlands I am working as a Paella caterer so I am used to cooking for huge groups of people. I have also worked on sailboats before where my main duties included cooking for the crew.
Besides this as a "skill" I also play the saxophone.
