Descrição
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 was fantastic at noticing things that needed doing and simply… read more

Andrea and Ben are wonderful people who made my two week stay with them memorable. They are a well-travelled couple who have chosen to leave the corporate world behind and undertake a journey full of courage, commitment and enormous vision. Their ability to restore an old ruin and create such a wonderful home is testament to the great team work… read more

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.

I have spent an amazing 3 weeks with Steve and Carol at their wonderful home at the foot of the Blue Mountains. From day 1, the hospitality shown to me by both was amazing. Carol and Steve are a fantastic team and together have built and maintain a property that would be the envy of most. I was offered quality accommodation and each meal was tasty… read more

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

It has been my absolute pleasure to meet Fran and Derek and their daughter Rosie. From day 1, it was evident that this family was both supportive and caring for someone in my situation. 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
