Hi there!
After quitting my job at a human rights NGO after several years of work, I've decided it's time for a change. I want to travel for an undefined period of time while working on my practical skills.
The past few years I've developed a serious interest in carpentry/wood work, (eco-)construction, and eco-farming. I've done a few upcycling/DIY projects (like building a wooden door frame for a closet or changing or reupholstering an entire couch from scratch), most of it autodidactical since my previous job didn't offer many chances to expand these skills ;-) Given the opportunity, I'm a quick and grateful learner with a knack for practical yet elegant solutions. But also, I'm a hands-on person and not afraid of hard or dirty physical work.
You'll usually find me in a great mood, especially when working in a friendly and cooperative team :)
Also, big fan of cooking (and eating) yummy food, hiking, dancing and the OCEAN.Interests
