Description

Hi

My name is David. I’m Australian from a coastal town on the East Coast called Coffs Harbour. I grew up in the country, but have lived most of my adult life in the city of Brisbane. I thought I was being a rebel quitting my job and going on sabbatical, but since having done so I have found many a kindred spirit.

I’ve spent the last 4 months in Thailand practicing yoga. I have 200 hrs teacher training in Swara Yoga (breath focused) and 100 hrs in Yin Yoga. It was a great experience, I approached it with an open mind and I’ve learnt so much spiritually and academically about the physical body and connecting with people and nature. Surprisingly nearly everyone I practiced with was European. I got along with everyone so well I felt that was a message, go to Europe.

I want to go to Europe to connect with nature and with people. Staying in a context where I can work for accomodation gives a greater meaning to the journey.

Along with the yoga, I bring drawing and drafting skills (I worked professionally as a CAD modeller for building fitouts, I also have excellent pencil on paper drawing skills), I’m a qualified Industrial Designer, I can play rhythm guitar and I’ve done Kahuna Massage courses up to Cert III.

If you’d like some help from a motivated and open minded Australian, I’d love to stay and contribute!

Much Love!
David
