    Description

    My name is Joshua, I live near Wattwil, which is a small place, but I am lucky to be part of nice and creative community. I work as carpenter and in construction, so we have all the tools needed.

    I would like to invite someone with specific experience in van renovation to help with my project. I want to install foldable bed, make storage space, maybe install solar panel. I would like your assistance and to learn skills in this.

    In your free time you can enjoy nature walks and go to weekly local events. I like to hang out with our friends in a local community, we often meet and make fires at the river, watch movies, play cards.
