    Description

    I’m based on the Sunshine Coast, just a few minutes from some of Australia’s best beaches. I’ve got a few small DIY projects around the house and and am looking for someone handy (or just keen to lend a hand) to help out.

    Most of the help is pretty light—just general tidying up and the occasional project like surfboard repairs or small maintenance tasks.

    Digital nomads would fit right in here. I spend a lot of time working online and have a growing social media channel focused on outdoor education and student travel. What I’d really love is someone who enjoys bouncing ideas around. If you have any experience with social media, content creation, or marketing, even better—but not essential.

    I live an active, outdoorsy lifestyle, so you’ll have plenty of free time to explore the area: beaches, national parks, waterfalls, local markets—you name it. I provide meals and ask for about 2–3 hours of help a day, five days a week.

    Sometimes my teenage kids are around, so it’s important you’re respectful and comfortable in a family environment when they visit.

    This setup suits someone independent, practical, and easygoing—someone who wants a solid base to enjoy the coast while helping out with a few honest projects.

    Cheers,
    Mahu

    Travellers can learn to surf in my area and also enjoy all the outdoor recreation that is close by with many hiking trails, mountain biking and amazing beaches. I'm also a highly experienced expedition leader and take school groups on overseas expeditions for up to a month at a time so i could pass on large group leadership and management skills.
