Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi I'm Sid! I'm a solo backpacker on an adventure from France to China and then around Asia travelling mostly by bus, train and my feet!

I will be first travelling and doing workaways through Turkey, Central Asia, China and then probably South East Asia!
I am very flexible and living day by day.

I already did two workaways during my first solo backpacking trip in Spain in 2022 and I loved it.
I have experience in taking care of animals (dog shelter in 2022), children, in construction work, in waitressing, in language learning and teaching, physical work like taking care of a garden or a house and I can easily learn new skills!

I use Workaway as a way to connect with new people and to learn new skills or practice whatever can help my host! I like to have this time during a trip to take the time to really enjoy the country or city I am in while doing a useful activity.

I am fluent in English, French, Spanish. I have some basis in German and Arabic.
I am currently actively learning Mandarin.

To summarize I am open to many different opportunities and already have experience in various ones (bartending, waitressing, grape harvesting, renovation work, childcare, animal care and more).

Please contact me for any further information!

More details about your skills

I can be physically active (I like sports and walking)

I can take care of a house and a garden (gardening/harvesting/planting).

I learnt construction techniques and am still learning (can work with concrete, painting, and others).

I can work in the service industry like hostels, bars.
Indeed, I worked as a bartender in Southern UK for two months and I loved learning about cocktails, meeting clients everyday, organizing events (poetry, music) at the bar.
I also worked as a waitress for two months in a very good restaurant in Strasbourg, France.

I can babysit at any age, I can have activities with groups of people as I am sociable and love interactions in many languages.

I can (and love) take care of animals (cleaning their shelter, feeding them and even take care of their medication if needed).

I can play a bit of guitar, a bit of piano as well, the flute and the saxophone. I just love music.

In general, I am able (and willing!) to learn new skills (physical and/or intellectual) !

What else ...

In order to feel safer, I prefer to do Workaways only if there is at least a woman working or living there too.
