Description

Hello, as you're looking to invite a stranger into your home I expect you want as much info as possible I will include a summary at the bottom if you want a quick version.
I left NZ in May 2016 to see as much of Europe as possible, I'm hoping to find workaway which will help me build my future whether it be animal care, permaculture, eco building or tourism, guiding or something that hasn't even entered my head yet.
Some history.
- I was raised most of life in a bird sanctuary my Father created at our family home to care for all kinds of injured/orphaned birds from Penguins to Owls
-My family has owned one or more horses for 30yrs, I feel comfortable and natural near or on a horse though I can't always make them do what I want.
-I have attended an Earth building workshop in NZ and hope to build my own home one day.
-I love water, having a river next to my family home and trips to the ocean as often as possible.
- I have a easy going demeanor which seems to ingratiate me with most animals.
-I am fond of all the history in Europe and love exploring ruins, archeological sites.
- As well as the above i would like to spend my free time hiking, swimming, scuba, sea kayaking, climbing maybe even horse riding if the horse is big enough.
-I enjoy physically challenging work, my body needs activity.
-I occasionally work in film/TV for fun, though can't act to save myself.

i have been to workaways in Switzerland, Shropshire UK, Samothraki Greece and Portugal.

I hope to meet and learn from many cultures before I return home.
