Beschreibung

Hallo, I am Paul born in Liverpool and educated around the World. I am a strong 59 year old, single and a world traveller.

In my 20's, some years before the onslaught of the digital age, when people talked together and wrote letters to each other on paper with real pens, I escaped the rat race.

For the next five years I traveled extensively; working in construction, both paid and voluntary around Australia, America, Canada and the Artic.

In 1994, after a diving holiday in Asia I ended up living the Philippines, on a small island with no drinking water, vehicles and electricity. Here, I built, from the foundations up, and later managed a community based eco diving resort. Check it out at www.apoisland.com

On Apo Island I gained a lot of experience in eco buolding. We collected rain water in 120,000 litres cascade system of water tanks, installed solar power with inverters and kept our garbage foot print to a minimum; ecologically disposing of what we couldn't use.

Additionally we ran a scholarship program, which helped 20 local children go to university. Amongst the many projects we organised, was the world's first community based dive ranger program for local people. Which, unfortunately was hijacked by a local government body, in order to garner international funds.

I left the Island in 2007, and lived in the Northern Philippines and Malaysia for some years.

In 2010, circumstances lead me I to come back and live the UK. I worked in construction, and did a 'hobby' job of transporting of cars around Europe for private client's.

In my spare time, I walk, ski and hike. I read a lot and sometimes i do yoga.

I prefer peace and quite, I don't like to be around crowds for too long, though when the mood is upon me, I love to dance, and see live music. For me all music is good.

Please read my professional profile and feed back to see if I am the right person for your project....

Professional builder. Specialising in wooden frame work and out door buildings. Since 2004 I've been, where I can upcycling reclaimed materials. In Canada I learn how to build log cabins with chainsaws. I have experience with a wide range of power tools. I like to build strong and rustic.

While I'm not a finishing carpenter, I can do some finishing jobs, like installing windows, doors and simple staircases.

Concrete; very good knowledge and experience of simple work, floors posts and beams.

Stone work, good experienced. Limited tiling experience.

Plumbing and electrical I understand the principles, and have some experience, I'm very good in drainage work. Okay at installing first fix electrics.

I have three years experience installing fire sprinklers, which is heavy pipe fitting and I can do simple welding.

Painting; lots of experience and a good knowledge. I won't paint indoors unless there is very good ventilation, as I find the fumes harmful. Outdoor painting, maybe okay, depends on job. Preparation indoors and outdoors I'm okay if there is the correct safety equipment.

I prefer to treat wood with natural products, though there are times when chemical products are the right choice.

I have installed clay on walls and I'm good at repairing concrete and stone walls.

I love animals and I am good with them. From March 2020 I was locked down in Spain for 10 weeks on a horse breeding and training (dancing) farm. I have limited experience in riding, though I am very comfortable around big animals.

I have some gardening experience, and lots of experince building garden structures.

Without the correct tools I can improvise to a certain degree, and might be able too repair some tools. Having some good tools on site is important, if the host want to see work progress.

I've spent the last five years, when I'm not cycling, working in Switzerland, Germany, Spain, France, Belgium, Morrocco, Bulgaria and the UK, both as a professional and as a volunteer.

I have lots of experience, teaching and supervising. If there are people on site with more knowledge than me, I'm happy to follow and I'm always happy to learn new skills.

I like to think out of the box and come up with solutions. I can work in a team or I am just as happy to work by myself.

In my mid forties I was diagnosed as having Aspergers, you might never of known, if I hadn't mentioned it. This means that I often see life differntly from the mainstream. I often take what people say literally and I always do my best to keep my word.

I believe that everyone should be able to speak their minds and respect others point of view, so long as what's said is not offensive and degratory.

Since 2019 I have moved my life on to a bicycle. Cycle touring for me is freedom.

As always when I travel I look forward to the experience, learning and meeting interestimg people. I am interested in working on a start up eco project. I would also like to build a treehouse, the last one I built was in the summer holidays when I was 10 years old!

The less commercial a place is, the better. I like wilderness, mountains, lakes, rivers, and camping, wild or tame.

I am open for house and pet sittings, so long as it's quite and for at least three weeks.

I'm interested in Yoga, aravadic healing and like to expand my knowledge. If you offer yoga and or martial arts, this would be good. I have a basic knowledge of yoga and Karate and I am very interested in learning Tai Chi.

Food- I would describe myself as a flexitarian, leaning heavily towards vegatbles and some dairy, I occasionally eat meat.
If required can cook, though I have a limited mènu; vegetable soups, anything simple with eggs, home made yoghurt and few other simple dishes.

I respect honesty, clear communication and straight people. If I find the right people, place and atmosphere, were there is a genuine exchange of energy, and we can all grow, I'm willing to stay for longer.

I don't have insurance, so if a host requires this then they will have to pay for it, likewise if specialist cloths are needed then the host will have to provide. As a volunteer, doing professional work this is only correct.

My preference is to work with communities, startups and people who are genuine. If you think my profile suits your project and we can develop a symbiotic relationship and friendship, please contact me.

Please insert BOO in the first message you send me, this way I will know if you have read my profile.

Namaste
Paul.
