Description

I am an easy going person, fit and a hard worker. I currently work and live in a boatyard in UK, hauling boats in and out and doing maintenance, painting etc. plus some homehelp and dog walking with a police check since 2023. Before that I did a workaway on a remote bird island in Seychelles doing conservation for 3 months and ended up staying for 11 years. I love working with animals and in the forest especially. I am willing to try anything and learn quickly. My favorite pastime when not working is walking in the forest looking for wildlife and reading in my hammock.

More details about your skills

I have worked feeding and caring for wild birds, chickens, quail, giant tortoises, dogs, cats, a goat, lizards and bats. I have planted plenty of trees, and did forest management, clearing trails and removing invasive plants and ants while on the Seychelles islands. Plus tour guiding and taking the fees. Also some farming while working in exchange for accommodation in Mahe, Seychelles. I now do maintenance and am especially good at painting. I am also good at book keeping after working as a head cashier in casinos for many years.

I am self sufficient and am happy in my own company, but also getting to know people, preferably locals. I like to cook and eat almost anything. Im a tidy person but happy to get dirty and stuck into anything. I love hiking in the forest, trying to spot animals and birds.
