Description
Hi, my name is Daan. I am currently 39 years old and from the Netherlands.
As a young adult I've spent months and years working away at eco-farms and projects both in my home country and abroad (France, Italy).
After many years of city life, with only the occassional volunteering job at or visit to a farm, there has been a big change in my life. And I am again looking to spend the next months outdoors and traveling.
I am especially looking for projects where I can be of particular use with the skills that I have, where I can recharge the battery and connect with open-minded people. Based on my past experiences preferably an organic farm or countryside community, with a mix of activities among which building and construction work (because I would like to further develop my skills in that direction).
Preferably 4-5 hours a day so I have some time left to do some writing.
I am an independent guy. Old fashioned but open minded.
Also a bit alternative, studying traditional chinese medicin, alternative medecin and chi qong.
With a small but colorful circle of friends and acquaintances, mostly in and around Haarlem and Amsterdam.
And have worked many different (volunteering) jobs, mostly related to education, social work and agriculture

I stayed with her for two weeks during which I did a lot of woodcutting, decluttering, digging, helping out with the caravan and of course cleaning the toilet units.
The accomodation is simple but adequate. There's good food and good company (cats, neighbours). If you are enthusiastic about getting some real… read more
