Descripción
I am a 48 year old from the UK, but i am half-american.
For the last 15 years i have been traveling and working in Asia and Aus / NZ. I have lived in Japan for 3 years, and every year i go back to the beautiful Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand to work as a volunteer at an eco-tourism business, I normally work there during the winter doing property maintenance, helping to clear walking tracks and fixing the vehicles and buildings (normally after i damaged them in the first place), and i also do pest control, hunting possums, pigs , goats and deer in order to help the native bush to re-generate as fast as possible. During the tourist season i help with guided walks for tourists from overseas, and also with the cooking and cleaning for the guests.
I enjoy working with people and living close to nature, we are blessed in New Zealand to have fishing and diving in clean waters on our doorstep.
I have many years of teaching English as an ESL teacher in Japan, China and Thailand. I have taught all age groups, from children 5-6 years old through high school/University students, as well as Business and conversational English to adults.
My plan is to visit South America for 9 months starting in September 2025, to find a city or country that I like, and then try to find a long term teaching job.

Que habilidades tienes?
I have some building / property maintenance experience, as well as some farming and hunting experience. I have worked in guest services with tourists in New Zealand and Japan, and worked on farms in Australia and NZ.
For the last 15 years i have been volunteering every year at an eco-tourism / conservation business in Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand, working with tourists during the summer season, helping with guided walks, cooking and cleaning. During the off-season i help with property maintenance such as vehicle /building repairs, track maintenance and hunting introduced species both for food and as pest control.

Brian’s experience in building and general maintenance was invaluable to us both in the house and the garden. Brian was very organised and considered what he was doing before. If in doubt regarding the… read more
