What else ...
Love listening to music. Good old golden oldies, folk, and anything that warms the soul and doesn't unnecessarily increase your heart rate.

I like the outdoors! Hiking, trekking, chasing waterfalls, kayaking, and caving even! I play a little badminton and futsal as well.

I am fluent in English, and I have experience teaching the language to foreign nationals. Organized English Camps for Thai primary school students ages 7-12 in Chiang Mai.

I am also great with kids! I used to volunteer as a teacher/helper in the children and youth ministries for my church.

You can count on me for any logistical needs. I am able to drive a 14-seater van as I used to also volunteer as a driver to ferry folks around.

For the past two years, I've been working with a non-profit soup kitchen catering 3000 hot meals a week to refugee schools, homeless communities and families in destitute. I manage the operations and coordinate teams of volunteers. Goes without saying that I love food and how food brings people together no matter the background.

Couldn't have asked for a better workaway. Daniel, is kind, loving and a joy to be around. He is an excellent cook, and highly domesticated.
It was an absolute pleasure to host him, and I believe we've made a new life long friend.

Spent an amazing five weeks of winter with this precious gem of a family here in Sydney. What you've read about them in the feedbacks below is true. They can be loud and hectic, chill and relaxed all in one week. Very haps. Extremely blessed to call it home even if it was just five short weeks. Thank you, Anton, Naomi and Lily for welcoming me… read more

My experience here with Laura-Doe in Billinudgel has been quite a pleasant one. I love the peace that welcomes you here and the ambient sounds of nature that soothes the soul in the quiet nights. She shares a beautiful house with lovely housemates and a huge backyard right next to a mini rainforest which I'd say, is the best thing to look at first… read more

Will definitely miss our nightly chess sessions and conversations. I have learned a lot in my short time there. Massimo and Judy are good teachers and even better cooks. They love their food and they know what's good. Had a great time with the community around their floating residence. There are lots of work to be done and so much potential for… read more

We had the pleasure to have Daniel with us for the last month.
