The open, friendly, and relaxed smile of Shaun.

Barrow Island (1200 Km from Perth). FIFO is the only way to operate.

                             
In Brisbane Australia were Shaun comes from, he has a great number of relatives. From his mother's side only, he has at least seven between uncles and aunts.

His family moved around a lot and therefore he chanced school many times. For most kids having to make new friends so often creates a sense of instability and, at times, anxiety. This was not the case with Shaun. Even when he was sent to a boarding school he liked it, even more than being at home with the family. Shaun has a relaxed, harmonious, and pleasant personality. I have no doubts that his friendly and captivating smile, and is tall and imposing built contributes a great deal in being accepted and included in most group of people he has a chance to meet

He has traveled a lot, having visited most European countries, as well as several countries in Asia. His girlfriend lives in Switzerland, which is not exactly around the corner. Boarding a plane does not apply only to vacationing, but also to go where his work place is; therefore FIFO.

FIFO stands for: Fly In Fly Out. For Shaun it means, Fly to Barrow Island, and after two weeks of work (12h/day, 7day/week) fly back to Perth, to rest for 2 weeks, and then ... fly back.
