Description
Hello! I am Ivan Tan from Singapore :)
I'll be visiting Australia on a motorbike tour between May - Aug 2022, and would love to learn how to better connect with the land. I'll be starting in Tasmania and moving along the east coast to Cairns.
I enjoy hiking, diving, and working with plants. I like working with my hands and have some basic DIY skills: drilling, sawing, setting things up, and am happy to receive guidance on tasks that I have no experience with.
I am currently a flexi-tarian (eating meat only at dinner), and would be happy to adopt a vegetarian/ vegan diet during my trip.
I enjoy time with others and learning about their stories. I am comfortable on my own as well.

I stayed with Dom and Liz for 2 weeks.
I helped preparing their food garden for spring, which involved making raised veggie beds and doing sheet composting. There were other hands-on outdoor tasks too, such as pruning small trees, and painting the inside of their chicken coop.

(Help needed on our mud brick ...)
I stayed at Kate and Pete's property in the bush for 2 weeks. My tasks largely involved helping Kate with gardening work, such as cutting back, planting new plants, preparing compost. If I had some technical building skills I would have been able to help Pete with the mud brick house that he was building!
Kate and Pete were warm and sincere… read more

(Help building tiny house and ...)
I stayed at Jimmy's campsite for 3 days, during which I helped with cleaning, making the area neat, and with some small landscaping tasks.
Jimmy was a great host who made sure my stay was a comfortable one. I appreciated the flexibility to work on my tasks in my own time and according to my own plan.
