Descrição

Hi there!

I'm Mike. I was born in Canada but have lived in many other countries. I sold a property in the north of Spain last year and have been on the move since with my furry little buddy Koru, who's an absolute legend. Having spent the better part of 20 years travelling and working abroad, it's very exciting to be back in Canada to explore everything this massive country has to offer, new and old. We're currently in British Columbia and will be heading to the East Coast in time for summer, hopefully, to find a new community to call home :)

Koru and I are outdoorsy, active, and extremely environmentally focused. I'm a self-employed content writer for Eco and Sustainable Tourism businesses. Koru is a full-time bird watcher and cuddle aficionado. We're hoping to meet people who have sustainable projects going on so we can lend a hand and make new friends. We've had some unofficial Workaway-style experiences, and they've been great, so why not make it official and see what else is out there? Hopefully, we can meet and work together :)

Quais são suas habilidades?

I'm a jack of many trades, master of none: gardening, writing, painting, landscaping, woodworking, rendering, plumbing, cleaning, etc. I'm also fairly handy when it comes to basic repairs with machinery or vehicles, but nothing too professional ;) I have an extensive background in conservation and environmentalism, have several years of experience teaching English, and know my way around a kitchen. Last year, I sold my rural property in Northern Spain. It was surrounded by beaches and mountains. There was an orchard with fruit and nut trees, a large garden, and a tourist accommodation attached to the main house. We did two major renovations between the two houses within one year and built a heap of furniture.

Koru is very gentle. He'll find mice and other small critters but mainly sniff them until they run away. Flies are the only thing that aren't safe around him. We had chickens running free on the property, and he did a great job protecting them and helping me rally them each evening. We've also worked a little with sheep and goats. He was getting good at it!

Algo mais...

Koru and I hike a lot and enjoy a good fire, snow, and water. We love being outside, even in the rain! We prefer Autumn and Winter to Spring and Summer, and cooler weather to hot. Having four seasons is important.

I like water sports—swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, diving, and surfing. I also enjoy snow and snow sports, trail running, and mountain biking. I love reading, writing, deep conversations, anything that calls for a laugh, and music (although I'm not a musician). I'm very interested in foraging and being involved in small, rural communities. I have a passion for food (cooking and eating) and find shopping locally incredibly important.
