Details

Description
I travel frequently having travelled to over 90 countries and when I return home to Hobart, Tasmania there is always the garden waiting for me :) and I'm not the best gardener!! Looking for someone to help in the garden to get it back to normal, general property maintenance and housework. I am a massive foodie and if you wish to share your culinary heritage with me that would be great.
**Any native Spanish speakers that can help with my Spanish are highly regarded! :)
Current update: Obviously not travelling anywhere as much lately but depending on the border restictions in Australia I will be away most of the winter.....somewhere else in Australia.

I stayed with Scott in April 2021 and could not have asked for a better experience. Scott is a great host and makes you feel at home easily. He is happy to share his interesting stories with you and is absolutely flexible with work. I helped Scott getting a few chores done before he heads off on his winter trip. Scott cooked delicious and creative… read more

For me, this was the best (out of 4) WorkAway exeperiences! Scott is really here to ensure you have a great time in Tasmania and not to just work you as much as one can. He is generous, caring and an awesome cook!

You can feel v. comfortable to be yourself around him, and Scott is so easy to get along with. The work is very reasonable and most… read more

How lucky I was to be received in Tasmania by Scott. He is absolutely friendly, an excellent company that will always provide a fun conversation that I didn’t see time pass. Extremely respectful Scott is not only a host, but I consider him a friend!
Helping Scott with his chores around the house was a pleasure, not a job. I highly recommend Scott.… read more

Moving to Tasmania during Covid is not something that most people would do but not for Larissa. After her 2 weeks in "iso" with her only experience of Hobart being the view from the hotel window it was a pleasure to host Larissa and assit her in settling in to Hobart. From the forst moment, over a long awaited coffee, I knew it would be a fun 2… read more

Scott was our first Workaway experience, and it was a incredible experience. He is a very welcoming host, always happy and keen to know about our culture and willing to exchange ideas and experiences. Most of our time together went around the kitchen and he taught Thais many tricks. He is a 3 stars Michelin Chef for sure, haha.

Scott is super kind and cheerful. I couldn’t speak in English fluently and wasn’t good at listening as well, but he always listened to my story gently and helped me about many things because I just came here from Japan. I am very lucky to find his posting and happy to stay at his house which has great view! I felt comfortable so much like a real… read more

I had my first experience with Workaway at Scott‘s house and I couldn‘t have a better start.
