  Description

  Hi fellow travelers,
  I use both the Helpx and Workaway platform
  
  I'm Dan, and I would like to welcome a mature friendly and reliable helper to help me look after my precious four
  legged friends, chickens and sheep.
  
  I am looking for a mature friendly person that I can trust with my animals. You will be active and involved with
  day to day life as a Kiwi. After your easy jobs, you have the opportunity to meet my friends, go exploring, help
  me with food shopping etc.
  
  About Me.......
  
  I am a airport rescue firefighter and Builder(carpenter).
  I am also a founding member of a NZ native tree restoration group. Its early days however, Its turning in a huge project.
  I also sometimes rescue unwanted dogs and puppies.
  
  I am a easy going guy with a great sense of humor and very friendly. I have lots of interests including hiking, camping, motorcycling, fishing on my boat, world travel and good conversation. I love having fun and love adventures
  
  I have some spare motorcycle gear if you wish to come for a motorcycle ride and and explore. I am very safe. I love
  the sense of freedom on a motorcycle.
  
  I am open, honest and respectful of all cultures and life choices. I also love to travel and go overseas a Lot. I have been
  to USA, Rarotonga, Easter island, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Germany, France, Netherlands, Austria, and Italy.
  
  I have a sensitive side to me, I will listen to your views and if you like we can discuss everything and anything over a bowl
  of hokey pokey ice cream. I also have a ambitious business side. I work hard so i can play hard.
  
  I am always joking and kidding around so it helps if you are a little crazy however if your shy It's ok, I can do all of the talking :)

  Hi Workawayer
  
  You will expect to help around 4 hours per day. Instructions are always very clear so you will know what to do.
  You even get a instruction guide.
  
  Most travelers say between 4 and 10 days. This is negotiable however this gives you enough time to explore and
  Spend time with me and the dogs and this allows me to have some " Dan time" afterwards
  
  The Dogs need to be walked in the Orchard every day and you will need to feed them some mornings and nights
  depending on my work shift.
  
  I need someone who is ok and self motivated enough to work on their own while I am at work.
  
  Depending on my shift schedule, you will need be up at 7am to tend to the dogs while I am on my morning shift.
  
  You will also make sure the dogs always have water as it gets very hot here. You may also help me with painting,
  gardening, cooking, cleaning and helping me with projects. work is varied and is not too challenging or difficult

  Hi I have many excellent references from another cultural exchange website, These are their own words.

  What a fantastic stay I had at Dan's place! (Ended up overstaying by almost two weeks.) He is a great host - open-minded, attentive, fun to be around - and easy to make friends with. Get ready for lots of jokes and general goofiness!
  Dan really cares about his helpers and will make sure you're happy and comfortable.
  
  Work with the dogs was fun and rewarding: Walking, feeding and playing with them and learning some pack leader skills.
  Dan was a very patient and supportive teacher. The dogs, Henry, Bear and Ben are adorable and very cuddly!
  Other jobs, all of them easy, included making and stacking firewood (we made a good log splitting team!), garden work, housework and cooking. Dan also cooks delicious meals.
  
  The rest of the time was just fantastic! We hung out a lot and had numerous interesting conversations, totally forgetting
  the passing of time a couple of times. :D
  Dan is full of ideas and knows some really cool spots to visit in Hawke's Bay. There may also be some surprises awaiting!
  It's worth taking the bicycle out for a ride even though the hills are big and sometimes a bit steep; there is an amazing
  view down into the valley not too far from the house.
  It was awesome to meet some of Dan's friends and to see authentic Kiwi life. I'll always remember our pizza and singalong party, and watching sheep get their hooves cleaned! Unforgettable memories!
  
  I am looking forward to meeting you Dan and the barkin' buddies again. Thank you heaps for having me! This was definitely among the best experiences I've had.
  
  
  From: Japan Date: April 13, 2019
  I stayed with Dan 4 days.
  He is always kind,with nice smile:)
  We talked a lot about each personality, life, culture, travel ...etc with joking. He is so funny! We had so much fun we
  forgot about the time!
  Dogs are so friendly and adorable!
  You respect their personality. and then, they feel more comfortable. but no worries, you can become friends with them
  soon.
  I wanna take them to Japan haha
  
  Job was easy. I took dogs walk to park in the morning, feeding. this is dairy and good for my health too.
  weeding, painting the wall, clean the house, car wash... job can be change everyday.
  
  His house is so clean, calm with beautiful rose garden.
  He cooked very well and also you can enjoy cooking in big kitchen.
  I slept in king size bed. it's so comfy.
  Everything was so nice!
  It was great to meet you Dan. I appreciate to everything. I wanna high recommend that you meet him:)
  
  From: France Date: September 5, 2018
  Dan is an amazing person. We were suppose to stay for two weeks, but at the end we stayed two months as we find
  a job around.
  He is a really a nice and positive guy. More than a helpx host, he became a friend.
  We felt really good here, like a second home.
  For 4 hours per day (sometimes less) we did gardening, walking and taking care of the dogs, some cleaning... And
  everything always in a good mood.
  He have lots of great stories to tell, you can not get bored with him !
  We get a lots of nice conversations about all subjects, what is really great. We can talked about everything, in the
  respect of everyone opinion.
  We won't forget Dan and the dogs !! We will see us again, in NZ or in Europe :)
