Descripción

Hello. My name is Shaun. I'm from South Africa & speak English, Afrikaans, Spanish, a little French & Dutch.

I've been doing 3 long stay workaway placements in Catalynua & Corfu for just over a year now & I'd like to continue for the next year or so.
I only registered on the site now as the previous hosts were conveniently friends of friends. They have been happy to have a 40 year old who's quiet, mature, motivated & doesn't start to slack after a while.

I like to get my hands dirty while working on the land & getting cool, interesting projects done.

Over the next few months I'll be busy during most of my free time with an online Tshirt store I'm opening, as well as with remote reiki clients (that's right, I can do reiki on folks in the USA from my room or a quiet field).
I just need a decent internet connection in my room & some food. I'm quite clean & tidy & will do housework too.

I'd prefer to stay for a minimum of 1 month, as I prefer not to have to move around every month or so. If we fit then perhaps I could stay for longer & make myself useful to your needs. If not, then I'd be happy to try out another place :)

Algo más...

I enjoy doing random tasks & exciting projects in the countryside, as I'm accustomed to not living in cities anymore. I don't get bored when living remotely as I have lots of my own work to do.

I'm a graphic designer & photographer & am starting an online Tshirt shop.

I also am a reiki practitioner, as well as some other types of energy work too & inner child healing therapy.
This means that I could do some free work for you or your friends if you wish, if any of you feel that you're out of alignment & could benefit from your chakras & energy flow being aligned & well.

I like to play guitar & sing, as well as produce music, but I won't be bringing my guitar with me.
