Mature Aus. man travelling the world

About this sitter

I’m a retired scientist (Biology and Neuroscience) and spend a lot time traveling. My career has meant that I have now lived and worked in 6 different countries.

Why they want to house sit

I really enjoy going to new places and seeing how the locals live, much better than short stays that seem more like a short reconnaissance trip.

Their experience

I like to think I am an easy going and adaptable person. Currently I have do not have any recommendations on the site but can provide a recent reference after taking care of a small dog and flat for a month in Sydney Aus.

What can they bring to the assignment

Although I don’t have a pet at the moment animals were always a part of my family and in my high school years I worked for the local veterinarian. My mother was a keen gardener and owned an orchard/vineyard so I was often involved in helping out around the place and still like to garden when I get the chance. I spend a certain amount of time sailing, recently on Tall ships, both as a sailor and helping out during maintenance periods. This has given me some handyman skills for odd jobs.
