---ABOUT ME & WHAT I CAN OFFER---

 

I'm very good with computers, and I can build you a website for your business. I'm a marketing generalist, I'm very good in writing, blogging and social media as well as SEO. I speak fluent english and can serve behind a bar or reception area as I have many times in the past. I'm generally a sociable person and have travelled, met lots of people and done many kinds of work. I am physically active: yoga (over 20 years experience), cycling, jogging, weights or a swim. I also used to be a personal trainer. I have my own freelance business at https://waveweb.design, building websites for small businesses, startups, artists, musicians or similar. I am good with animals and mowing, gardening, painting, craft things etc and am interested in sustainable building & living. I can cook most things, and prefer healthy food with a high balance of fruit, salad and veg (I don't eat pork, beef or other red meats at all but a bit of chicken/fish/cheese is ok). I’m interested in learning to garden and grow vegetables as well as natural building or eco homes. I learn quickly and am organised, clean and tidy. I prefer not to do large amounts of shopping or cleaning or taking care of children, although I am obviously OK to do my fair share like you would in a share house - I just don’t want to be a housekeeper or carer most of the time. I like to have defined work hours and tasks rather than being on call all the time.

​

---WHAT I LOOK FOR IN A WORKSTAY---

 

Up to 5 hours work per day, up to 5 days per week in return for a place to sleep, healthy food & use of washing machine, access to a bathroom (shower and toilet) Wifi is VERY important, because I do a few hours of online freelance work in my own time
