  • Description

    Hi, I'm Fred, originally from Vienna, and I've turned my van into self-sufficient home on wheels. Traveling some months through Europe together with my loyal companion Emely — a sweet 12-year-old Jack Russell Terrier — is truly a great way to meet new people and experience different life-styles.

    My background has always had an adventurous streak: my former job took me across the globe, and I've had the privilege of living abroad for several years in Brazil and Hawaii/USA. These experiences have shaped me into someone who embraces new places, people, languages and other challenges with an open heart.

    I'm a hands-on, organized, and conscientious person who takes pride in getting things done properly. I also have a real passion for DIY — from renovating houses to fixing household appliances or general maintenance.

    During my time in Brazil, I had the opportunity to put this hands-on spirit into practice by contributing to the construction of a small house built with eco-bricks, built a chicken coop from scratch, and transformed my mother-in-law's garden into a thriving green paradise.

    I'm genuinely interested in the possibility of contributing to
    - eco-projects
    - gardening and permaculture initiatives
    - reforestation efforts
    - animal sanctuaries
    - construction projects
    - maintenance of furniture and buildings

    I love nature and animals, and I could happily spend every hour of the day outdoors.

    When it comes to timing, I'm quite flexible — anything from two weeks onward works well for me, as long as it's a good fit for both of us. I look forward to connecting! 🌿
