Kia ora!
My name is Duncan. I'm 26 years old, originally from Los Angeles, and have just finished a year and a half masters program at Auckland Uni in environmental science. It's my dream to one day live in a fully self-sustaining community where everything is grown and made locally with love and care, but there are a lot of things I need to learn before I can do that. I'm looking for somewhere with kind supportive people who can teach me a thing or two about sustainable living, farming, medicine, spirituality, and life. In return I can offer my full energy to whatever project needs done around your place. I'm quite content in simple accommodation and looking forward to some hard work in some beautiful places.Interests

Duncan:
In college I studied ecology, evolution, and anthropology, so I am well versed in human and animal behavior and biology.
My experiences as an Outward Bound instructor have given me a great deal of outdoor skills and knowledge. I am most comfortable when I’m outside surrounded by nature. These trips have also allowed me to spend lots of time working with teenage kids helping them grow and learn to push themselves.
I spent much of the past Summer caring for off-duty sled dogs, and I also grew up around many dogs and cats which I helped to take care of and train. As such, I am very comfortable around animals of all types and take great pleasure in taking care of them.
Most of all, I enjoy working hard and spending time outdoors expanding my comfort zone. I can handle plenty of physical work and never shy away from a challenge.Age

What else ...
Most importantly, I work hard and am easy to get along with. I will treat any host with respect, patience, and understanding, and ask only that you do the same for me.
I LOVE dogs, cats, and basically all animals.
I also love being active and playing sports. At university, I was captain of my school's ultimate frisbee team. Besides that, I also enjoy hiking, camping, and reading.Some more information
