Description
Ahoy Travelers
I am Níels from Iceland and I live in a calm village in the foothills of Botev peak.
Surrounded by forest and field's.
I am easygoing and optimistic by nature.
D.I.Y'ourselfer and a Man of many Interests.
Stone-Metal-Wood-Water
Forager Mushroomer Botanical joys.
I am growing a health herb garden based on permaculture principles.
Plant Power.
I am starting on my journey cultivating and crossbreeding chillies.
The Garden always needs attention with watering and weeding.
The property has many fruit and nut trees and I am always grateful for the extra help in maintaining it.
I like to give people projects that they enjoy and fits their skill set, at least mix it up a little so it doesn't get to monotonous.
I value honest communication, expression and humor.
Board game Jokes.
I have a dj synthesizer studio.
We can produce something if you are a musician and the mood is right.
In Iceland back in the day I worked as a electronic technician installing small and big sound systems, repairing and finding faults, making spaces sound.
Grew up in Reykjavík skateboarding downtown but spent 1/3 of the year on my grandparents farm doing chores and tending to the animals, Horsing around, haying and whatnot.
I am very Grateful for that experience.
I have been a workawayer myself and had great experiences, a lot around Pisac Peru and south America.
Usually I go to the farmers market once a week to get fresh produce, shop and stock.
I love making a good soup and savory dishes.
I cook with quality ingredients and bake my own sourdough bread, they are always improving.
I am happy to cater to vegetarians but if you are a vegan you have to be the main chef.
There usually is a pot of herbal tea on the stove for everybody's enjoyment.
All the Best to All of You

All the Best to All and Thank You
