Hello :)
I am looking to find a workaway host needing help with general farmwork, construction, sustainability projects, recreation / tourism, gardening etc.
I am on a month on / month off work schedule and would ideally like to find something potentially longer term that I could return to on my time off if that's agreeable.
I enjoy any type of outdoor activity whether it's "work" or play.
Would be grateful for any opportunity to meet interesting people and hopefully contribute to your project / farm / property development in a meaningful way.

My skills are mainly in construction, maintenance, farm work, animal care, general chores etc. I am happy to help out with any task and I take pride in being very agreeable with a positive attitude and strong work ethic. I work well on my own or with others and love to see the results of a good old-fashioned days work.
I grew up on a farm and have 20+ years experience in agriculture and many types of construction, I'm mechanically inclined and proficient with farm equipment operation and hand tools of all types.
I have fairly extensive first aid and safety training, I am diligent and tenacious and follow through on my word.

Cheers!
