Rob is a total legend and he has a superb new hosue nestled on a hill near some beautiful coastline. He is great to work for and extremely flexible. You are required to use your own initiative to da variety of tasks. You will learn things from these tasks if you want to. The surrounding area has hiking trails, beach access and cylcing paths. All are fantastic for getting outdoors and within 5 minutes walk. The surrounding towns are quiet and offer a fantastic beachside lifestyle. I would highly recommend Rob and this the homeand I would definitely go back given the opportunity.

About me as an author

The moment Duncan jumped into full-time travel was, "the moment he jumped off a cliff and made wings on the way down". By jumping, he shattered his normality and reassembled a life on his terms.

Background

Education

Masters Degree in Sport and Exercise Science. And an ongoing education of the world

Work experience

My biggest challenge and achievement was teaching English to kindergarten in China.

I worked at a professional football club using the skills learned with my degree.

I have volunteered my time places such as Nicaragua, Spain and Australia.

I grew up near my family farm so I am used to being practical and working with my hands. Physical work is also good for me.

I worked a lot in customer service. I recently worked as a hotel housekeeper in a ski resort.

Travel experience

Travelled Europe twice by train.

Lived in France, China, Switzerland.

Cycled around Japan and South Korea.

Slept in many airports.
