Hello all!
My name is Connor. I am a 26 year old South African who has spent most of their life living in the UK.
A true nature lover at heart and travel enthusiast. Nothing bring me more joy than travelling to far away places and experiencing diverse and interesting new experiences. I also love all things outdoors and fitness related. If there is a mountain to climb or waterfall to gaze at I'm there.
Aside from all this I have spent the past couple years working in the environmental and sustainability spaces, doing everything from research to supporting large projects for DEFRA and even the environment agency in the UK. Because of this I am Ideally I am wanting to get involved with conservation and environmental work whilst out here in Aus. I am however very open minded and willing to give everything and anything a go.
It's also worth mentioning I have heaps of hands on DIY and hospitality experience having helped my family and more with numerous painting and gardening jobs; and from working in bars, restaurants and hotels all from a young age right through University.
Last but not least, I am a tidy, clean and respectful person always looking to leave a positive impact wherever I go. I hope you like my profile and will consider hosting me!Interests

I am good at everything but a master at nothing. I love hands on work, whether that's lifting heavy things or getting my hands dirty. I can paint, chop wood, and pretty much everything and anything in between. If you have a task for me whether I have done it before or not, I am keen to give it a go. I also have an exquisite eye for detail completing tasks to the best of my abilities always and I am very patient.
