Description
Hey guys, I am Brad, 35 from Bunbury WA.
I live on the edge of town here, with the house backing onto the Maidens nature reserve which stretches to the beach.
I live with Moon a 4 year old energetic female border collie, and 2 cats - Archie and Luna . The area is a good balance of being close to town and close to the bush and beach.
I want to offer my hospitality to a traveler looking to plant his/her feet for a while in exchange for a couple of hours of help a day. I am a traveler myself and love meeting new people. I like to hike, surf, go out for the occasional social dinner / outing, and drink a coffee from one of the many good cafe's Bunbury has on offer.I hope to provide a peaceful and fulfilling stay.
As far as the work goes, the house is a work in progress, and I am looking for assistance in keeping the various projects around the place steadily moving forward. There is flexibility on the type of tasks depending on your likes and skills, ranging from painting, renovations, gardening and eco projects, and helping to take care of the animals. My goal is to build this place into a social environment where there is opportunity for people to come and couch surf, work away, and most importantly enjoy the space, the people and the surrounds.
You will have your own bedroom with a shared kitchen / bathroom.
Please note:
This project is 'not for profit', and any traveler will not be assisting in the development of any 'for profit projects'.
Please reach out if this resonates.
Cheers
Brad
