  • Description

    Hi! My name is Ryan, I’ve recently arrived home after an incredible 10 month solo travel journey. I'm currently planning to travel long term abroad once again to Australia with my working holiday visa. I'll be flying into the Gold Coast late August and most likely travelling south from there. At the moment I am open to any opportunities in the area, so shoot me a message and I will get back as soon as possible.

    I’m open to all kinds of experiences and happy to help out with anything from mechanical work and general maintenance to outdoor projects and hospitality. I’d love to learn new trades, meet interesting people, and contribute wherever I can. I am a hard worker and am not afraid of messy or strenuous tasks.

    Looking forward to connecting and seeing where this journey takes me!

  • More details about your skills

    Mechanical & Technical Skills
    I have hands-on experience repairing engines, sandblasting, and spend much of my personal time working on at home projects. I've graduated from an aviation technical school, and done a few jobs working on and around aircraft. If it's a plane, car, or boat then I'm all about it.

    Around the water
    I worked as a lifeguard for 2 years, with experience supervising swimmers of all ages and providing first aid. I've also been a surfer for a long time but really gotten hyperfocused on it since travelling through New Zealand. Absolutely looking for work anywhere near a good surf break. I also have my scuba certification and enjoy freediving.

    Outdoor & Adventure Experience
    I’ve spent much of my life in the outdoors and enjoy rugged environments. I do a lot of running and backpacking/tramping at home in Arizona or while travelling abroad. most recently I've done a few months of Hostel work for accomodation, and worked part time construction for accomodation aswell.
