Description
Hey!
My name is James!
2 of my couchsurfers just told me about workaway, thought I'd sign up. I had about 6-10 workaway-ers a few years ago and it was great, then sort of forgot about the site.. So now I have like 100 unanswered messages and a terrible reply rate aha.
I work in the film industry here in Vancouver, the hours are brutal, keeping up with chores, gardening, watering plants is a struggle!
The place is right near Commercial/Broadway. So you're a block away from a metro line to the whole city. Commercial drive is my favorite spot in Vancouver. Good food, bars, shops, people.
There a second bedroom, which is all yours.
I work in film, and own a local rental company, so maybe there's some work there. I also have a dope camera if you're into photography lets go explore and get some shots. I produce a lot of films so if you're around during that time you're welcome to help on set. but that's never a guarantee.. It would probably mostly be chores.
I have ADHD and have recently stopped taking meds for it. My goodness it's hard to function like normal humans do.. :D I'm hoping to have someone who can help me stay motivated, maybe a jog every morning, another one in the evening, maybe cook up some healthy meals, I've sort of lost touch with my health and work life balance and could use a little support. :)
The house is pretty nice, projector big screen for movie nights, lots of board games, fireplace, retro game consoles.. Lots to do. :)
Room and Board provided. If I'm too busy to do groceries I can just give you some money for food.
I only do 1 week stays at a time.
