Beschreibung

Hey there!

My name is Richie,

I have a passion for nature and wilderness, yoga and community and art, and I am currently on my journey to learn about eco-building techniques and biotecture.

I have been living in the UK for 10 years now as a TV cameraman and photographer. This year I want to explore ideas around living a low impact life and transitioning into a thoughtful environmentally conscious person that I have always wanted to be!

My current goals are to learn more about sustainable building practices, and off grid systems - as well as taking more time to do yoga and explore meditation and breathwork practices.

I have recently completed a Permaculture design course in Portugal, and would really enjoy applying this knowledge.

I like to be adventurous and love hiking and climbing and anything to do with the sea or water. I do a lot of work abroad and enjoy very much meeting new people and getting involved in projects. I'm a hands on person and can build or fix most things and work with most tools. In former life have spent time at sea working on yachts, being a boat carpenter.

I also love cooking and making food! Would love to do more foraging. Wow this is starting to sound like a dating ad!
Anyway I love learning about how other cultures see the world and finding out how other people are enjoying their lives and the spaces around them.

I'm a massive fan of Couchsurfing so although new to this site not new to this type of situation. I love to give my time and enthusiasm in exchange for positive experiences for both sides.

I'm a hard working and conscientious and believe it takes two to make the world go round.
I hope to speak soon!

Richie

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I'm currently a documentary cameraman - but the skills I'd like to share and use the most for Workaway is carpentry / wood work / construction projects / landscaping gardening. Basically anything to do with making things with my hands. I am travelling around in my van with some tools.

In former times I've been a Captain of yachts and fishing boats, and carpenter and boat builder, I have a bit of knowledge on diesel engines and mechanics. And generally good at fixing things. I have worked on orchards and vineyards, and market gardens. I love cooking and preparing food.

Was noch ...

What else? Well I'm not sure what to add here, but I will add the reason for joining workaway: I'm really interested in Eco housing, environmental technology, and sustainable solutions big and small. I used to be more active in researching this and acting to stop pollution but recently I've been focusing on my career. I would like to reconnect with people that are thinking the same. I really want to learn new ideas around how we can live while thinking of the future. And get inspired to take these ideas back to NZ one day.
