    Hi,
    Marc here 🖐,
    Past 2 positions working at dog shelters.
    Previous position in Greece. Before that a shelter in Thailand with 500+ cats and dogs.
    Both roles I have been offered a permanent position to help run the shelters.
    I have a love for working with dogs and connect with them very well. I am organised and pro active. Pretty handy with DIY too.
    I live a simple life with basic needs. I am looking for my next experience.
    Confident guy, Easy going.
    As the lead volunteer I managed all daily jobs including feeding, cleaning, designating and medicating.
    On an evening I also organise many fun games for the group to play.
    I am not afraid to get stuck in and get my hands dirty. I do many of the DIY jobs at both shelters including fixing fences, concreting, and building dog kennels.
    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 basic living suits me.
    Worked with street cats and dogs in Egypt. Helping to feed them.
    Over the last few years my life has become about kindness and looking after nature and this beautiful planet.
    I am passionate, energetic, creative.
    I like to chat and see new cultures.
    I love seeing amazing new places and experiencing lots of 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.
    My interests are:
    Growing, mindfulness, animals, 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 always on the lookout for new volunteer positions.
