Description
Hello!
Short version:
My name's Robert, and I'll trade you physical labour & wacky chat for some local culture & a place to sleep.
Long version:
My name's Robert, and I'm travelling around New Zealand between 26/08 and 11/11.
Obviously I'm going to be ticking off a few tourist traps, but I'm also keen to meet new people and really get immersed in the local scene. I'm pretty handy on the tools, and I love a bit of hard graft, so would be keen to get involved with any hands-on projects. If they're outdoors, then even better!
I like to spend as much of my free time as possible walking, running, rock climbing, or just getting outside. I love to chat about the weird and wonderful, and find that absurd conversation topics are never too far away. I also play quite a bit of music, but unfortunately all my instruments will be back home :(
I spent an amazing 6 weeks earlier this year helping to renovate an old 1960s house near Fontainebleau in France, and I'm hoping to recreate some of that magic on a different continent, as well as collect a few new experiences. -

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I'm an engineer by trade, mostly on the design side but have spent quite a bit of time working on the shop floor.
I'm pretty handy at most things DIY:
- Most power tools (power drills, pillar drills, grinders, sanders, circular saws, etc. etc.)
- Wooden projects & furniture (Have built multiple climbing walls, bike sheds, shelving, pallet furniture, etc.)
- Car/bike/mechanical maintenance & repair
- Basic electrical
- Gardening (digging, planting, tree pruning, picking, etc.)
- Rope rigging
- I can also juggle if that's of any use
I see a lot of requests for farm help on here - I grew up with a small flock of chickens, but no experience of farm animals with 4 legs. Definitely up for giving it a go though! -

Autres infos...
If you're looking for someone to jam with in the evenings, then I'll happily play bass, guitar, mandolin, or the musical saw.

He is so smart, he helped us fix and figure out our solar and wind turbine. He always worked more than he needed to.
Highly recommend.
