More details about your skills

Growing up on the country side, in a tiny village in the Alpes, I learned to live close to nature. To live down to earth, simpler is what makes me happy. I grew up helping out in the garden, planting vegetables, flowers, cutting bushes, mowing the lawn, picking apples and of course weeding. And not to forget, tending to our four chickens and the fish in our pond. Having my father retire early in my childhood, I got to learn a lot of crafts from him, like painting walls, fixing things, easy woodwork and other things.
Aged 18, I moved away from home to study politics and environmental studies in Geneva, where I also learned to speak French (still not fluent unfortunately). However, my studies gave me a profound knowledge about the environment and politics. The past year I have used this knowledge as a campaigner for an environmental NGO in Zurich, where I have learned to work with volunteers, manage social media accounts and websites, do the logistics of our campaign material and more.
I want to live as sustainable as possible and strive to learn as many practices as possible to do so, be it in eco building, gardening, permaculture...
