One of my biggest hobbies is anything to do with watersports. Kayaking, Canoeing or Stand Up Paddleboarding - i'm your man.
Descripción
Hi, I'm Patrick! After living in the UK all my life, I'm ready to explore a little bit of the world around me.

My friends would describe me as empathetic, persistent and articulate (but also a pain in the butt apparently). I would say I can communicate well in social situations, thrive when meeting new people, and am at my best when doing physical labour such as landscaping and (very) basic carpentry. I would also say I'm a creative person who's main motivations are born out of a desire to make, whether that be my films or otherwise.

Whilst not an experienced workawayer, I am a seasoned volunteer - having volunteered as a kayak instructor for 3 years before making it my job two years ago. This has allowed my communication and management skills to develop as I have had a lot of experience leading and being responsible for large groups on the water.

As somebody who has grown up in England, I am often embarrassed about the fact that a second language is not taught from a young age. So wherever I am in the world i would love to learn as much of your language as possible to make up for this and absorb as much of your culture as possible.

Que habilidades tienes?
The most valuable skill i can offer would be in physical tasks. I thrive when performing manual labour having grown up in a house of gardeners. Whether that be moving soil, chopping wood or painting a fence. Give me a job in a garden, and it will get done.

Aside from this, I have spent the last 5 years as a kayak instructor in my home town. Teaching me valuable skills in teaching, communication and flexibility in the pursuit of completing a task (young people aren't the most predictable).

Additionally, a hobby that I often try to develop as I would love to go into it professionally is filmmaking. This year I have written, directed and edited a short film for a competition. So i would consider myself very creative so if you need help with any content creation I'd love to lend a hand.

Patrick was such a breath of fresh air for our charity. His background working in the outdoors was such an asset and he blended into the team like family! We miss him about the place and really hope he might return to us someday in the future. Any organisation or family would be very lucky to have such a pleasant and hardworking young man them… read more

I had a great time in the relatively short amount of weeks I spent with the team. The way in which all members of staff made me feel comfortable and part of the team within a matter of days allowed me to offer the best help I could , whether that was out on sessions or setting up for various events. Even though I was during the off season, I… read more

Patrick is well put together for his very young age, and eager to have new experiences outside of the settings that he has grown up in. That's a really great quality, and this showed during his time spent here as a volunteer. Patrick also has quite a lot of good skills and has a creative side! He built a beautiful wall desk from scratch, as well… read more

It's hard to reduce a 5 week experience, that were some of the most fulfilling and challenging weeks of my life, into a few paragraphs - but the level of community that Viana works very hard to create in a team of initial strangers is the thing that sets this workaway experience apart.

Having arrived in the dark and wet of an alpine autumn, a… read more

Patric came to us to help with the olive harvest. We are extremely grateful for your help. He followed the house rules and helped clean up after meals. He was flexible when it came to working hours - he worked 3 days a week for 8 hours, because the harvest demanded it. He is a really nice and cool young man. Due to the fact that he comes from… read more

Daniel, Ewelina and Nela were great hosts, that were able to make me feel welcome and at home in their own home.

Ewelina's ability to look after all her family, even while pregnant, shows a real compassion and bond they have together. Hearing the story of how the family left Poland to start a new life shows the bravery Daniel and Ewelina have in… read more
