Description
Here is your all round carpenter with many years of work experience. I love to live close to the nature in a minimalistic way and i am interested in producing own food.
I can adjust easy to new life situations and many people say that i always bring great energy and fun into projects. I am a serious worker who gives his all to the ongoing projects and determined to deliver good work.
Because of many Years of work experience in different Countrys you can benefit of my wide knowledge.
In my freetime i love hiking, exploring the nature but also a good rest is important for me.
I need also space where i can be on my own from time to time. So shared Rooms are not what i am looking for.
I already have a nice Network around the world with Hosts and Projects where i am always welcome to return. But i am also always open for new experiences.
And who knows but maybe i gonna find the magic place which makes me never want to leave again.
In my future i can see myself living in a nice project where ever it leads me to.

Feedback
He is good with animals and likes to learn new things. We also had many fun and interesting conversations.
Although he longs for warm olivefarms in Greece, he is also competent in the cold Nordic climate.
Hope to see Richard again :-)
The work was always fair. If you give something you will get a lot back.
The dogs are super lovely.
I will come back for sure one day.
Thanks for everything Olaf.
