Descripción
Hi, I'm Mark, I'm a musician that's currently spending my time traveling around Canada on a 2 year work VISA. I've been playing in a band for the past 15 years and am looking for a change in scenery whilst I write the bulk of the music for the next record whilst on the move. I am very easy going, absolutely love the outdoors and my heart is happiest when i'm remote, around nature, and in new places around new people.

I love learning new skills, I love a unique and quirky way of life and sharing life stories with new people. I love to cook//listen to records and travel the world solo or with my band!

These things make me happy I guess is the answer to your question.

Que habilidades tienes?
I have worked at many different workaways now over the last few years, with varying types of jobs. I have knowledge and skills with chainsaws, wood chopping, drills, sanding, painting etc.
I also have experience with child care.

I have dedicated my life to music but i've picked up odd jobs over the years.
Given the climate of the music industry we are all becoming more and more independent as artists. As well as being the songwriter and front man I am essentially the band's tour manager, driver, accountant, manager day to day and whilst on tour so I've become a bit of a jack all trades.
When I'm at home between touring I'm either working in local bars or I pick up work driving cars around the country and dropping them off to dealers. I've driven all over the world for 18 years now, genuinely love driving and consider myself comfortable in all vehicles and conditions.

I grew up in the countryside around all sorts of pets, so i'm very good with animals. My mum used to teach reception at my local school and I always used to help her out with the kids, so i'm great with children. I really love being outdoors, have no problem getting my hands dirty and ultimately just like to help out.

After years and years of selling our own merchandise after shows, I think I'm really good in a face to face environment meeting and dealing with new customers in whatever setting that might be - hotels / cafes / bars etc etc

I'm a very clean person, and a quick learner.

I love running long, long distances. I love a proper hike and a good country pub. Communal meals. Listening to records with a glass of wine and a good book. But also I totally appreciate my own time and am a very independent person.

My time with Jess, Dave, Willy, Tommy and Pete can't really be put into words. Hence why it's taken me a bit of time to actually write up this review!
I guess for the sake of "feedback" I'll just tell anyone reading that you simply HAVE to jump at this opportunity should it be presented. The place is as picturesque and as beautiful as you could… read more

Dear fellow hosts....has Mark contacted you with interest in coming to help with your projects? If you are fortunate enough to have him approach you make sure you don't miss out as Mark is truly an incredible human. From the moment he walked through our door he felt like family. His ease of being, mixed with his mellow confidence made it so simple… read more

Mark was so great to have here at the lodge. He is such a nice calm presence and really kind and open person. He stayed with us over Christmas and January as well. We had great times having dinners and talking around the dinner table. He was always eager to help out and do whatever task you needed. He helped me out a lot here. He got along with us… read more

This stay was a transformative experience for me. Shannon and Karl have built something truly incredible in this remote part of the world.
I could write an essay on how special this place is. But it's probably more impactful that I just implore everyone to take the opportunity and dive head first into this workaway experience. I adored it so much… read more

Mark was a delight to have at our place. He was kind, honest, responsible and clear with communications at all times. He was fun to have around and willing to work hard and learn new skills and routines for doing things the way we like them. Mark was a great help to me when he effectively taught me and my grade 6/7 class how to play cricket in two… read more

Donna & Barry became family and I miss them already. Planning to come back in the new year because I built such a special bond with these people.
The work is more than fair, fun and balanced. If you have skills or a love and desire for a particular thing your skills will not go unnoticed. The area is silly beautiful. Hikes straight into the… read more

Mark stayed with us on our boat for 2 months and became apart of our family. He helped keep the boat clean, the dishes done, and made us plenty of delicious pasta dinners. He walked our dog everyday and made sure she was loved & fed. He is experienced with dogs which was helpful in keeping our dog trained. But most notably he looked after our 20… read more

I had the most incredible time living on the boat with this family for 2 months.
It's pretty hard to put into words what an amazing experience this is, but if you have the opportunity I can't recommend it enough. I for sure feel like this family will be in my life forever now, it feels weird waking up atm without seeing Ren and Cara, having my… read more

I had the most amazing time split between the lake house and the downtown appartment in Toronto.

Pat & Emilia are such lovely people. So easy to get along with. My work was varied, from turning over their place, to sanding and staining decking to painting chairs. They were more than happy for me to make my own schedule when I was by myself and I… read more

Mark spent 3 weeks with us where 2 weeks were spent helping with the cleaning, painting, and gardening st our home in Toronto and 1 week at our cottage where he helped garden and clean.

Mark is a terrific individual who is laid back but very caring and does an excellent job in everything he does.

We’d highly recommend Mark.

Mark is a very nice guy, ready for all kinds of adventures and very flexible. He didn't shy away from cold days outside work and did overall very well. And the bonus is of course that Mark is a very good human being. Nice to have around and talk with. A pleasure to have met you!

Staying with Bjarnheiður and Reynir was an absolute joy. I stayed for a month during November and had an absolutely incredible time. They were so warm and welcoming, Bjarnheiður is a fantastic cook and I was so glad to try some proper traditional Icelandic dishes, as well as her amazing Reindeer Lasagne!!! The work was always varied and incredibly… read more

I spent 5 weeks with Ruth and Andrea and it was such a special, special experience. Instantly Ruth & Andrea make you feel like part of the family. The house is gorgeous, it's like something you'd dream of as a kid when imagining living in the middle of nowhere. Chickens, dogs, cats, goats roaming free. I was so fortunate to meet so many incredible… read more

What can we say! This was our first work-away experience and we really feel so lucky to have found Mark. He came at just a few days notice and was a pleasure to have around for the whole month, we even extended his stay for a week because as well as his help being invaluable (what a grafter!), he was just a such a great energy to have around.

Staying with Sam & Amy was one of the best experiences i've ever had in my life.
It was my first Workaway and I highly doubt i'd have an experience quite like it ever again.
The location is so idyllic, I will miss walking the dog every morning on the beach with their two cats, chickens and host of other wildlife following close by. There are… read more
