Beschreibung
Hi,
My name is Damon which is nomad backwards and I love to explore nature. I am an ex carpenter and landscape gardener who changed careers 15 years ago. Having completed an environmental management degree I have been working in environmental eduction as a Waterwatch, Frogwatch and Landcare coordinator. My most recent role was as the Regional Agriculture Landcare Facilitator on Kangaroo Island working with farming families on sustainable farming management and education.
This year I'm fulfilling a life long dream to travel some of the wilderness areas of Canada and Alaska. During those travels I would love to help build a log cabin in a remote area. I kayak and fish a lot and find it hard to get off the water even when not catching anything. Great with animals and people of all ages.

Vom Workawayer (Damon) für Host
(Enjoy living with a nearby ...)
I had such an amazing time in Talkeetna. Laura was a wonderful host, living on the lake as it froze and in the Yurt through the first snowfalls was a surreal experience. Laura has so many amazing friends and I really got the experience of living in an Alaskan community. Work was varied from collecting wood to building sheds. With Laura's friends I… read more

This place is simply beautiful, the wildlife and scenery are breathtaking. I saw humpback, and killer whales, bears, eagles, otters, seals deer and more on a regular basis. We caught loads of fish and shrimp and ate fresh oysters most days. The work for me was the most important I have done for a host. The oyster processing, flopsy, workaway and… read more

vom Host (Building projects and ...) für Workawayer (Damon)
Damon stayed with us for 3 weeks in the summer and was a huge help and a pleasure to have around! Not only is he easygoing and great to get along with but he's hardworking, patient and has lots of great ideas. We worked on building a cabin foundation and we were able to get the walls up despite supply issues on our end. In the meantime he was… read more

(Building projects and ...)
I spent 4 weeks with Adam and Mateja, and it was a fantastic time. Clearing trees, taking them up the hill to mill into timber for the cabin build, helping with planning and commencing the build with those materials. We completed the external frame whilst I was there and they sent me a photo of the rafters a few weeks later. Their place is just so… read more

I cannot begin to describe how lucky I was that Damon found my workaway page. He was supportive in many many ways - not only is he a very talented builder that entertained and completed my artsy yet complicated project visions, he was so hardworking, loving, and kind. He was such a joy to have around - I will miss his singing voice and excitement… read more

This is an amazing place set amongst the forest you really feel part of it. Deer wandering through and Eagles soaring overhead. Sammy was just the best host, so accommodating and generous of herself. She really makes you feel part of a family. The projects were diverse and interesting and having the forest as a backdrop it really didn't feel like… read more

Damon is a very talented, experienced, hard working, and pleasant person. He made a big difference on our farm in a short amount of time. I really appreciate his ability to take ownership of a job and get it done. He did some amazing carpentry for us and fixed some tricky problems around the farm. And I really enjoyed getting to know him and we… read more
