Beschreibung
Hello!
My name is Santiago, I am a forestry tecnician, but I would describe myself like some sort of professional"all-round farm hand"
I make my living working in farms, and I keep myself always in pursue of further developing my skills towards self sufficency.
I am currently living in Norway, where I have been working several farm jobs across the whole country for some years.
Country life and the outdoors are both my passion and my whole lifestyle, and I enjoy it even more when abroad and I get to meet people from all over the world. I have a strong focus in sustainability and food sovereignty.
When I travel, I love to visit places from the "inside" and live like the locals, rather than just get the tourist experience. -

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I have a vocational degree in forestry work and also a bachelor's in fine arts.
I have been working mainly in farms for the last 10 years, and on my free time I usually go volunteering to try out new places.
I have been employed in all sorts of operations: from a buffalo ranch, deer farm to big market gardens and orchards to steep mountain sheep farms.
I don't consider myself expert at anything but am very curious and willing to learn as much as possible. Because of that, I have gathered a very varied experience, which includes:
A lot of chainsaw work: firewood, pruning, forest fire prevention, logging and timber milling, etc.
Construction projects: from laying floors, framing and insulation, drywall, timber structures, roofing, traditional log building, adobe, strawbale building, etc. I have also built cabins, sheds, corrals, firewood shacks...
When I was in Canada, I built my own cabin out of timber and adobe and it kept me warm and snug through -25 C winters!
I like to use natural or recycled materials for construction. I am a student in the art of turning junk and scraps into useful things.
I can do basic welding, aswell as some basic masonry.
I have set up irrigation systems, also built quite a lot of fences. On the other hand I am not shy when it is time for shovelling, digging, cleaning stables...
I am into hunting for big and small game, I can slaughter and process animals for meat, tan their skins and make things out of them. I like tanning hides for craft projects. Always keeping a deep respect and love for animals and I like to use every single part of them if i can.
I can work in a team or in an autonomous way and keep myself busy.
Something to know about me is that I eat a lot! But i am not picky.
I appreciate structure and setting things very clear from the start.
During work time I give my 100% take almost no brakes and don't waste any unnecessary time. On the other hand, when it's my time off, enjoy to focus on my personal projects.
I believe that communication is key to find the right balance between work hours and free time in order for it to be a mutually beneficial deal. -
