Description
I am Con from Melbourne Australia
I am a seasoned traveller who enjoys meeting people and has plenty of experience working within communities around the world. Places where I have helped or coordinated projects include India, Thailand and within the Indigenous communities of Australia.
Over many years, I have also worked with groups associated with disabled youth and adults, assisting either in the field or as a coordinator.
I am a qualified teacher with many years’ experience, teaching IT, Mathematics and English to young adults.
I have a resourceful mind and will work hard on any task I am given, in my own company or as part of a team. I am motivated and can use my initiative in seeing what needs doing.
I keep myself very fit and regard myself as an innovative cook, comfortable in a vegetarian and non-vegetarian environment.
I am a native English speaker who speaks Greek and conversational Spanish.

Con stayed with us for 2 weeks, and fitted in so easily. He has a zest for life that makes him a real pleasure to be around. And he has great stories! From work and travel in several places. His stories really underscore Con's pleasure in travel and especially in meeting and helping people.

Con was an exceptional workawayer who went out of his way to help us in assisting Steve build a pool house, helping me with gardening, weeding, laying gravel paving and generally making sure the property was clean and tidy.

Con was a joy to have with us for 2 weeks. Very engaging, very willing worker, self starter, extremely polite and aware of allowing his hosts space when they need it. He is excellent company. He did all that we set him to do and more. Our neighbours also thought he was the bees knees. We were lucky not to have him poached while he was here. We… read more

My accommodation in the two-bedroom casita was fantastic and Fran’s cooking was something to look forward to every working day. The mid-morning coffee breaks were… read more
