Description
Currently looking for work exchanges in BC Canada.
I’m motivated by a simple, grounded way of living and I’m happiest when I’m outdoors and feeling useful. I’m interested in Taoism and meditation, and I try to keep life balanced and low-stress. I enjoy calm environments, steady routines, and being around people who are easygoing and creative.
I enjoy spending time in nature, helping grow organic food, looking after animals, and getting stuck into hands-on work. I like being around pets and am always happy to help care for them as part of daily life. I also have a strong love of music. I DJ and listen to a wide range of styles, and music is a big part of how I relax and connect with people.
Workaway appeals to me because it’s a chance to live simply, meet good people, and contribute to communities while getting to know a place properly. I like helping out where I can, sharing skills, and being part of a household where everyone pitches in and supports each other.

More details about your skills
I bring a mix of practical outdoor skills and technical experience, and I’m happy working both independently or as part of a team.
I’m very comfortable with hands-on tasks. I grew up with parents who are very keen gardeners, and grow my own organic veg at home. Also experienced in planting, land care, and general property maintenance, and I’m always willing to learn new things. I’m fit, reliable, and don’t mind physical work or getting my hands dirty.
Outside of that, my professional background is in environmental and GIS work, where I’ve been involved in mapping, data collection, and supporting conservation and ecology projects. I work freelance, my website is www.mohuamaps.co.nz .
I spent many years on my family smallholding so I'm good with animals and happy to help with pet care, feeding, and general routines. I’m tidy, organised, and respectful of shared spaces, and I tend to pick things up quickly once shown what’s needed.
