Description
Hi all,
My name is Carl, living in Wiesbaden Germany, alone and finally retired. Over 36 years I work as an architect, landscape engineer (ingegnere paesaggista) and foresty engineer. I prefer planning, site management and to put projects into action, sometimes with my own hands!!!
Before I start studies I worked as a carpenter and as a gardener.
WORKER:
As a worker I like to give you my professional experience as a consultant and as a worker too. I like to create and to build things, gardens, houses with my own hands.
TRAVEL companion wanted:
In September 2025 till X-Mas I will travel through Italy and I am looking for a travel companion, a Lady, if you like come with me to meet italian friends and host there.
HOST, workers you are welcome:
On the other hand I have enough time to welcome you in Wiesbaden/Germany or/and to travel around the world. My companion is Yuma a Labrador Lady, beloved and friendly. Everybody's darling, sure.
I will continue my Crash Course to learn the Italian language. I had one month at Bertrand Russell Institute a Padova in April 2025 and it was fantastic. And I Like to learn Spanish and French too.
For a better understanding, I am a host as well as I am a worker and consultant, a good handyman and handcraft man.
When you have a look on my CV and profile you will discover, that I have in mind and intend several projects around my house and garden in the woods (making fire wood and protect the forest).
There is no say or need to work here, but you can support me in such issues, if you like. I prefer to learn your language Italian, French or Spain, if you like to teach me.
For few years I worked as an civil engineer, architect and landscape planner for the USAG Wiesbaden in the DPW Directorate of Public Works U.S. Army Air Field Wiesbaden. Therefore I can speak, read, talk and communicate in english.
My comfortable house in Wiesbaden is Open for gentle and reliable people, three bedrooms, a modern office to work by your own (your own projects if you have someone via internet), a music room (guitar, flute and sax), a huge living room and pretty Garden with a terrace.
My main and huge project is to renewable and renew my kitchen and the guest toilet WC. Painting the walls interior and to lay a new pavement in the first floor.
You can spend wonderful days in a vineyard region in the south part of Germany surrounded by old forests. By the way you can get to know the German everyday life in real time. I speak German as my mother tongue and English well enough.
Wiesbaden is the capital of the federal country Hessen and an old spa with theatres, cinemas, night life etc.
Let me know about your plans and where you are at the moment
Carl
P.S.
I like to get to know you, your country, your home, your EVERYDAY life, your culture and nature and to learn your language, especially Italian, French and Spain or other language to get in contact with you.
I prefer to spend the most time in nature, in the woods, mountains, beaches, at and on the sea. I like sports, mountain biking, sea kayaking, riding, dogs and animals, horses, like to ride and to swim etc. And to make music Blues, Jazz, Folk, little rock and pop songs.
As a CONSULTANT and WORKER.
