Description

What brings me happiness? Being outdoors, in nature, to discover wonderfulp new places and people. And create stuff. As a carpenter, farmer or cook, as long as i can be creative and feel the freedom and closeness to the purity of nature. After four months living in my van in Scandinavia last year, I now sold my house to live my dream. Leave the big city and materialistic life behind, and explore freedom and simplicity. Together with my dog Zenna:)

More details about your skills

I really like to work with my hands, mostly as a carpenter/handyman. I'm always building and repairing stuff:) And now as my last project my campervan build. I have experience with almost everything that can be done in and around the house, like plumming, electricity, flooring, building etc. And the quote from Pippi Långstrump - "I have never tried that before, so I think I should definitely be able to do that." - is definitely what works for me:) It learned me so much in the past.

Working on the land and in the forest is the other thing I like a lot to do. I did a lot of work as a volunteer the last years, growing organic vegetables and flowers for a local restaurant and doing maintenance in the forest and dunes in my hometown The Hague.

I'm also a big animal lover, so taking care of them is something I like to do:)

Age

39

What else ...

Before I studied Culture & Televison Science. I worked in public broadcasting, marketing and communication. I let this all behind me, to live more close to nature. But communication, especially between humans, still fascinates me. Same as personal growth and what really matters in life. Best stuff to talk about life, at a fire with a beer:)
