  👋 About Me:
  Hi, I’m Erik! I’m a 35-year-old guy from the Netherlands, now living in Madeira. I run a small company remotely and recently bought a house that needs some love and renovation.
  
  Here’s what I bring to the table:
  A warm connection to Madeira’s dancing and hiking community – happy to show you around!
  A shared interest in self-development, meditation, hiking, and deep, introspective conversations if that’s your vibe.
  
  What I’m Looking For in a Workawayer:
  - Have building, landscaping, or renovation skills.
  - positive and proactive.
  - Enjoy working together on some tasks and are comfortable doing others independently.
  
  🏠I host a maximum of 2 workawayers at a time.
  ✨ I will carefully select people I think will fit well with the dynamic here.
  
  So, please tell me: What kind of person you are. Details about your relevant experience.
  
  Looking forward to hearing from the right people and making something amazing together! 😊
  
  ⚠️ Friendly Reminder:
  👉👉 I receive a lot of messages, so please ONLY apply if you have on of these:
  
  💪 Experience in heavy gardening work (e.g., clearing, planting, or landscaping)
  🛠️ Skills in DIY or renovation projects
  🌍 Participated in earlier Workaway projects

  What else ...

  The most chill cities (funchal, ponta do sol and camara de lobos) are really nearby.
  There is a bus stop really near my house so you'll be easily in Funchal, but a car/scooter is better.
  
  You can also go for hikes easily by joining some groups that organize a lot of hikes free to join. I'll probably be in funchal a lot so i can drop you off sometimes.
  
  If you'd like to help me, could you please send me a message on whatapp ):
  - What period do you want to stay?
  - Send a quick video to introduce yourself.
  - What stuff from the todo list do you like/want/can do?
