  • Description

    Description

    Dedicated surf instructor and passionate waterman. Due to high schedule demands in the summer months (May-September) where I am not much at home, I would need some help with taking care of my two cats (Xaxo and Limpet) and some chores around the house. If you have any photography experience that is only a bonus, willing to offer free surf lessons in return for taking some pictures and films (camera provided by me) - negotiable. Private room available for the workawayers, maximum stay 15 days.
