Description
Hi everyone,
I am looking forward to see the world and meet friendly people while also making myself useful as I go along.
I am a qualified nurse so helping people is something I love to do.
I have experience in renovation (turning a garage into a 3 bedroom shed), building, cleaning (hostel & hotel) and bar/restaurant work (hotel/resort), in general experience working with tourists.
My goal is to be outdoors as much as possible, learning new things about nature and sustainability, experience life in countries and communities I have not been before.
Maybe we can meet someday!

Sander helped us on the farm for about 4 weeks. He is a hard-working and conscientious man who learns quickly. With us, he worked at the sawmill and with our huskies.

We would definitely recommend Sander as… read more

I have stayed at the holiday home for about 2 weeks. Really enjoyed my stay and the beautiful environment. One should definitely check out the nearby forest.
Andreas has a very relaxed and laid back personality and communication is smooth. The summerhouse provides all the facilities a person needs and working on the cabin was a lot of fun. Plenty… read more
