Description
Hi, I'm Sean. I have lived in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island for most of my life. I have 2 houses on my property, one of which is occupied by a nice family, so it's a comfortable and welcoming environment here, often with visitors from the neighborhood and social gatherings.
I really enjoy meeting new people and from different cultures and backgrounds. The main focus of my workaway experience is for language and cultural exchange. I am currently learning Spanish and Portugues, with a basic understanding of both, and I can enjoy having conversation with these languages.
I am a lover of music, of all types. I play guitar and drums, so I appreciate other musicians.
I am also self-employed and I have a range of knowledge and experience which I don't mind sharing. I really like exchanging ideas.
