Description
Hi,
My name is Shayne and I am from England and have lived there all of my life.
I am an engineer by trade but have decided to take a break, so I can go and see more of the world whilst I have the chance, as I am a nature lover/outdoors person at heart. I have already been travelling for 2 years. I spent 6 months in indonesia volunteering at an English school and teaching the kids to surf. I went back a second time as the kids missed me and kept asking me to come back again. I have also stayed with a few families In europe during my time. Some of which I've visited multiple times.
I spend a lot of my time travelling exploring the great outdoors, trekking up mountains and I never miss an opportunity to have a swim. I also love to meet the locals and make new friends. Even better if I get to play some music with them. I also love to have a game of football with the locals when I go travelling.
I am pretty laid back and willing to go with the flow. I will always try something new I haven’t done before.Interests

I love music and have been playing guitar for 16 years, acoustic and electric and can teach others to play. I also know a lot of music theory and can teach other instruments such as keyboard, to a lesser degree. I'm always up for a jam with other musicians.
I know how to do many things on a computer, including automating office tasks, programming, making video games/cgi. I have some electronics knowledge and can design simple circuit boards and program micro controllers. The possibilities of what can be done with this are near endless. I can teach anyone who is interested any of these skills and there are many possible projects that can be done.
I also love to exercise my creative skills and have made various different things over the years. I also know how to use a sewing machine and can make clothes and other things.
I love kids and have plenty of experience taking my friends kids out for the day. All of them seem to love hanging out with me from the little girls all the way up to the teenage boys. I never get a moment’s peace when I go to their house.
I also have experience in looking after many different types of animals as I have lived with most types of pets at some point. (Cats, dogs, small mammals, snakes, lizards and a macaw.)
I worked for a year as a cook, cooking basic meals, before my current job so I can cook anything you like if I have a recipe to follow. And assuming it’s not too complex. I'm also more than willing to help out with standard household chores.
Additionally I have some experience in landscape gardening as I sometimes help my friend out at the weekends for a bit of extra money.
Last of all I am a quick learner and am always willing to give something new a try. Armed with a good youtube video I feel I could do almost anything with a bit of practise.Age
