Description
Hello my name is Dougal and I’m a 26 year old from New Zealand. I am really looking forward to joining the workaway community to learn new skills and try out different lifestyles before returning to New Zealand and settling into a career. I am an outdoorsy type with a real passion for ecology and palaeontology. I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie partaking in hobbies such a skiing, mountain biking and motocross. Back in New Zealand I am a certified rural property valuer specialising in forestry where I advise clients on the value of their property and trees as well as potential land use and management changes that can optimise their farm financially and environmentally. I am a real animal nerd and working towards conservation of ecosystems and species is a massive motivation of mine and something I would like to do more of.
