    Description

    You have to be completely awesome to stay here.

    Needed : HELP and company wanted. Cleaners, Gardners, trailbuilders
    Skilled Mechanics , welders , plumbers , carpenters, gourmet chef's brain surgons and rocket scientists are not required but can be included.
    I have skills in most of these areas (rocket science and brain surgery aside) and am up for safe coaching skills.

    I am an adventurer and inventor who knows how to live life.
    My work brings me around the world for product inspections as a garment tech, but I also do some graphic design, and product R&D across many fields.
    On the island I am known as Zeuss because there are far too many Daves haha.
    I love good food, music, and company.
    I am passionate, energetic and generally busy but the calm and peacefulness of staring at a fire, sunset or stars and sitting with good food and drink.
    I enjoy hard work and feel I am a patient communicator.
    My projects are many on the property from setting up water systems to building sheds , and trails.
    My projects on the boat are never ending cleaning and scrubbing to fibreglass and carpentry work to wiring and plumbing.

    Only accepting guests who are willing to stay 2 weeks or more. Due to difficulties aquiring food and supplies from off island and wanting to limit my laundry duties!

    Check out Galiano island !

    My expectations for my guests will be to be social, help with projects around the property and boat, helping to keep things tidy and clean, I expect a good work ethic and to keep to a schedule.
    I am not a slave driver, (more of a slave diver) but love the drive the workaways have given me so far. Thanks to Toots, Kai, Sandra, Kenzo, Antoine, Alex, Adi,Jeff,Erin, Delphine, lauren, Keegan, Chris, Paulina, Moe, Justus, Clement and all the others ;) . <3
    This is a safe place , quiet and free of drama (unless we are playing charades)
    Not cool with racists, xenophobic, sexist folks smoking bothers me.
    My politics are non-dogmatic centrist and open-minded, try and change my mind:)
