Hi,
Marc here 🖐,
Dog trainer, and have worked in animal rescue sanctuaries around the world. Currently help out 2 days per week at a local rescue with ponies, sheep, pigs, goats, geese and cockerals. Feeding, grooming, and helping with building work. Recently built a goat platform, midden, and part of the new hedgehog and badger rescue building.
My past 2 workaway positions were working at dog shelters.
Previous position in Greece. Before that a shelter in Thailand with 500+ dogs, and 30+ cats, including many disabled dogs.
With both roles I was offered a permanent position to help run the shelters. As the lead volunteer I managed all daily jobs including feeding, cleaning, designating and medicating.
On an evening I also organised many fun games for the group to play.
I am not afraid to get stuck in and get my hands dirty. I did many of the DIY jobs at both shelters including fixing fences, concreting, and building dog kennels.
I have a love for working with all animals, but have an affinity towards dogs. I am organised, pro active, and confident in my ability.
I try to live a simple minimalist life with basic needs.
Also recently came back from (attempting to) walk across Europe for charity, where I lived in a tent and cooked on a little burner, so have lived with basic amenities.
Over the last few years my life has become about kindness and looking after nature and this beautiful planet.
I like to chat and see new cultures.
I love seeing amazing new places and experiencing new things. Sharing experiences with people.
I am an adventurous person who pushes themselves out of their comfort zone and tries to keep learning. Most years I try to complete 12 new challengers of things i've never done before, such as -
Snowboarding, surfing, swimming with sharks, scuba diving, abseiling, walking on hot coals, walking on glass, making unique items to sell.
My interests are:
Animal rescue, growth, mindfulness, writing, travel, sport, movies, comedy, people, new experiences, tattoos, creativity, different culture and music.
I have been travelling for the past 5 years on and off, and are now looking for a more permanent base where I can make a difference.Centres d’intérêt

One of my favourite experiences in life.
After a few days here I wasn't sure whether I would stay. It definitely takes time, So you need to stay for a week before you make your mind up. After this period you've learnt the dogs names (close to 100), and have learnt the routine and know what you are doing. (Check out my… read more
