Description
Hi, I'm Scott.
I am an outgoing character with a strong sense of community spirit. My goal in life is to help those around me live happy fulfilling lives.
After 6 years stuck behind a desk, I have decided to explore more practical and active lifestyles. Through workaway I will do so whilst also learning about your cultures.
Me, I am a hard worker with an attention to detail. Supporting the development of others this something I am passionate about. Care work/mentoring/teaching naturally fit my skillset. But I am not exclusively looking for this type of work, I like to think I have more to offer and I would be keen to learn new things whilst I stay with you.
My Hobbies/Interests - Running, Walking, Cooking, Pool, Rock Music, Karaoke

More details about your skills
I am a decent cook and I get my hands dirty with housework. Happy to be involved as much as needed in household management.
Hosting & entertaining others. I really enjoy hosting guests, at home I throw BBQs and parties for my firends. I have hosted a fair few quizzes for people, so if your ever looking for a quizmaster, I'm your man.
For the last 6 years have worked as analyst, so I would say that my computer skills are on the advanced side. In particular I am pretty decent with Microsoft Excel. My area of business expertise is pricing, and in general I have quite a creative mind when it comes to business management (I have a degree in it).
