Description

Hi, my name is Mike, I consider myself a kind and friendly person, and I try to help other people out in any way I can. I enjoy being active, and find most activities enjoyable, especially when it means I can get out into nature.

I will be coming off the back of a UK summer full of festival work and adventure whilst living in my self-converted campervan. This has been an amazing experience, but I am hoping to find somewhere to ground myself back in nature, feel a part of a community and focus on my health/fitness without constantly moving to the next adventure.

I have been lucky enough to travel to 16 different countries, mostly solo, in my life so far. One of my favourite parts of travelling is meeting new people from all walks of life, and sharing stories and outlooks. I am an animal lover; I volunteered at an animal sanctuary in Ecuador in 2020.

I have done my fair share of DIY trying to convert a (tiny) van into a camper over the last 2 years. I have picked this up with no prior experience, and am a true believer that you can learn to do anything after watching a couple of YouTube videos! I am a quick learner and can take on any task with a little instruction first.

I am also a bit of a computer nerd, I have been a full-time front-end web developer for the last 3 and a half years, so could definitely give you a hand with anything website-related.

My Spanish is at a very basic level, but I am hoping to improve on my trip and would love to be thrown in the deep end with it.

Overall I am happy and easy-going, so if there's anything at all you want to ask me, please do not hesitate :)

More details about your skills

Web development - I am very computer literate, and I can probably help with any kind of computer or electrical gadget issues you're having. I have 3 and a half years professional experience building websites, so I will be able to help with any issues you may be having.

Physically fit - I am very physically able, and am happy to take on physically challenging jobs. I have helped friends and family with different DIY projects before, and have spent the last few years converting a mini campervan from scratch. I can be a fast learner with a bit of instruction and direction.

Willingness to learn - I am very motivated by a willingness to learn and pick up new skills from all different areas of life, and I think if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing properly.

Cooking - I love to cook for myself and others; I try my best to make all my meals both healthy and delicious!

Animals - I am a massive animal lover, so I'd be more than happy to work with all animals. I volunteered at an animal sanctuary in Ecuador in 2020, I have a special love for dogs, and I love to walk with them, train them, and have a cuddle them too!

Tidy/Clean - I am a very clean and tidy person, I love waking up on a Sunday morning and having time to tidy my room + change the bedsheets! When your own spaces are all tidy and clean, I think it really helps your mindset for whatever you choose to take on next :) I can hoover, wash up, clean, wash clothes, change bedsheets, or any other basic cleaning job you might need me to complete.
