Profile information
Description
First and foremost, I’m very friendly and have a naturally sunny disposition. I love traveling and meeting new people. I spent a good chunk of my twenties living and travelling to the Middle East, Canada, Australia, America, and South East Asia but in recent years, I’ve stayed closer to home and have fallen in love with Europe. That includes numerous stints as a wwoofer on organic farms but Im giving workaway a chance as I’m not that keen on living without electricity and hot water again! I love the simple things in life. Give me good food and company and I’m happy.

More details about your skills
I’m currently working as a carpenter, building garden rooms and sound proof studios for professional musicians and producers here in the UK. This is a process that I am involved with from start to finish. From the foundations through to the finishing paintwork inside and out. I have also trained as a bricklayer and as you can see from my photos and reviews, I have done a lot of renovation work in France on Chateaus, a water mill, a barn conversion and a village house in Chateauneuf de Pape. This included re- building a collapsed stone wall with lime cement. Installing new stone windows, cutting a staircase from solid chestnut, carpentry work, drywalling, installing new windows, plastering and painting. I am very handy!
I am also a good gardener and landscaper. I have done a lot of work for landscapers and gardeners so I know how to do it but have never had the chance to do any design work which would be amazing!
I also love food and I can bake. I can cook. I can pickle and ferment vegetables and I can clean up after myself!
