Description

Looking for my next experience of life, travelling through my large back yard called British Columbia. I am often looking at were I can learn through others and make a difference for them as well. With a positive, and calming demeanor. Accepting of others whom ever they identify as.

Love being a part of a community and am constantly creating this were ever I go as many hands do light work.

These days I enjoy teaching, being social, computer support and creating is what I am good at. Elder companion or house sitting is something elts that I am also interest in.

When doing handyman activities, I can be slow at times, but I eventually get it done. Doing this type of work, I will need to recharge many times throughout the day to give my grey matter a rest as if I don't there are consequences for me.

If I hear a good song played at the food store I start dancing enjoying every moment.

Yet can enjoy the company of myself in complete silence and will often end up water colour painting, drawing or listening to the sounds of nature and meditate.

I would prefer longer stays greater then 3 weeks. Right now looking at hosts in BC only.

What else ...

Oooh could put a lot in here, Love of board games, Carcassonne tile game, Querkle, and card games. Like building and creating art projects, painting, drawing, sculpture, mechanical and LED lighting. Cycle when I can on my recumbent trike. I like having deep meaningful conversations about life and what make us tick over tea or hot chocolate.

I grew up in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This is the starting point of my journey around BC and Canada. Looking into creating unique housing opportunities and shared experiences.

My preference is to teach what i know rather then doing physical work yet it depends what it is, as I am looking at what I am capable of doing now.

Work in progress as I create my stealth home and workshop in my cube truck. Aka Qbert
