Description

I spent 4 months on a dairy farm in Ireland. I really enjoyed the work and looking forward to more experiences.

I've traveled parts of Asia and Central America primarily focused on scuba diving. I am easy going and don't require much to be happy. I enjoy a busy work day. My primary focus while at a host is the work, learning new skills and being useful.

What else ...

working in weather doesn't bother me I've worked outside from +40c to -40c, sun rain or snow. I can't say I've always enjoyed it but there are times when things just need getting done. My previous job had me working in camps that ranged from just myself to 2-12 people with few occasions in 1000+person camps. I've also spent time on boats diving and living in tight quarters. So I've learned to work and live well alone and with others.

I love the ocean and coastlines cold or tropical. I enjoy camping and hiking back-country camping anywhere and but especially the mountains.
