Beschreibung
Hi, I'm Thomas - young enough to look for new experiences and old enough to have some of them. I’ve plenty of free time the next years ;) and I want to spend it with voluntary work and nice people. Upgrading my English knowledge and learn new languages is an other goal I follow. I'm well traveled and like other cultures and traditionals. It’s a pleasure to get new contacts.
Update:
I got nice experience with workaway the last six years, which I spent with hosts in the US, Malta, Switzerland, Germany, Mexiko, Central and South Amerika, France, Portugal, Spain and Turkey. So I did a lot of woodwork with repurpose materials - exciting and creative ideas. The projects were so different - a sauna with a SPA, a hobbithouse, restoration of doors and furniture in old houses and a castle, a kitchen and so on .... and I got just like that experiences to work in hostels and with tourists. I love to continue it... ;).
PS: You find more projects I did in the last five years on Instagram #uproot-travelandwork.

It was six unforgettable weeks that I was allowed to spend together with some other workawayers on the property on Raunøy of Merete's family. There are only two houses on the island and so you are almost alone with this unique nature. The island of Raunøy is like Norway in a small way. Great views, small fjords, forest and moss-covered rocks,… read more

Thomas visited our island Raunøy for 6 weeks, to help us build a shelter for our goats and general maintenance at the farm. He showed up to be very high experienced in carpenting, and my goats now have a castle with their own sign on the roof. He also made very nice furnitures from old things at the farm. Thomas was also very well known with… read more
