Description

Hi, I'm Scotty! I'm a friendly 39 yr old plumber turned Nurse from Australia (+UK passport, thanks Mum),

I love connecting with people & seeing life done differently. Love new ideas & concepts. I am very friendly and relaxed, I try not to take anything too seriously (myself included) and to make life as much fun as possible, for me & those around me. I aspire to remain open-minded and spread positive energy as a general rule. A bit of a humanist/hippy at heart, but still totally capable of fitting into mainstream society. Mostly.. .

Always trying to learn & grow.

Deep down inside, I want to be kind to everything that lives & make the lives of people I encounter richer. I believe we are all connected (but I don't get too cosmic about it). Huge value on honesty, always tend to admire genuine people. The type of people who are really good at being themselves. And friendly. Friendly wierdos, I like friendly wierdos.
Love laughter, hate laugh tracks. Love animals, hate cages.
Hobbies/interests:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Meditation, writing, reading, exploring, and saying yes to new things. I also just started learning piano.

One day I will:
Start my own BJJ academy
Publish a few books
Become a super bendy Yogi
Learn how to freaking speak Russian
Be a Workaway host with an awesome project
Own a pet bulldog named Thor. And a bird of prey ...name undecided. Maybe a goat too. (Preferably as an unintentionally comedic, genius, unlikely animal friendship trio...)
Learn to sail (one of my Workaway hosts brainwashed me really well)
Visit every continent on this planet
And I might just build a perpetual motion device too, for giggles.

Last year I graduated from university as a Registered Nurse, and have been working in a correctional setting as a new grad. It's been really tough. So I'm going to take a break from that.

Right now, I'd like to find a nice place, with nice people doing nice things, ideally somewhere pretty, where I can contribute to that. And take a little break from nursing, and prison, and just think about life for awhile.


If you liked my profile, feel free to say hi or ask any questions, especially if you have a project you think I might be a good fit in. I'm pretty friendly and straightforward.
