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! 🌿 -
