Description

Hello. My name is Shaun. I'm from South Africa & speak English, Afrikaans & intermediate Spanish.

I'm a Spanish resident who's been doing Workaway for 3 years in Spain & Greece, & I'm currently the grounds manager at a horse farm in Ibiza.
I like to get my hands dirty while working on the land & getting cool, interesting projects done.

Previously a graphic designer, photographer & musician, now I’m a spiritually awakened & calm person who meditates, does Reiki energy healing & various negative energy removal work part-time for clients.
Perhaps you could make use of that. I’ll do it for you for free if you need it.

I just need a decent internet connection in my room & some food. I'm quite clean & tidy & will do housework too.

I prefer longer stays, but I'm open to short stays too.

What else ...

I enjoy doing random tasks & exciting projects in the countryside, as I'm accustomed to not living in cities anymore. I don't get bored when living remotely, as I have lots of my own work to do.

I'm a graphic designer & photographer & run an online Tshirt shop.

I am also a Reiki practitioner, as well as some other types of energy work too, including inner child healing therapy.
This means that I could do some free work for you or your friends if you wish, if any of you feel that you're out of alignment & could benefit from your chakras & energy flow being aligned & well.

I like to play guitar & sing, as well as produce music, but I won't be bringing my guitar with me.
