Description

Hello there good people!

My name is Jake and I am travelling about europe in my self built camper with beautiful dogs, a couple of kayaks and plenty of energy ⚡

I am a 29 year old Irish/english man with a love for good food, good conversation and for good hard work too, I have a boundless love and appreciation for all things wild and true, the natural world and our mother earth never ceases to amaze and enthrall me and every day I spend here getting to experience it all seems to me a wondrous piece of good fortune.

In terms of what makes me tick, I am a doer and a fixer, I problem solve and I tinker and usually if something's broken I can fix it, be it an engine or a fence. I am a certified climbing arborist and am travelling with all my saws and climbing gear so tree work is certainly a possibility. I'm used to a large and varied selection of physical labour and will try my best at anything providing I understand what is expected of me.

I have a lot of experience painting houses, farming, operating machines (including 360 excavators, artic trucks, artic dump trucks, cranes, and also operating jeeps, cars, tractors, quads, and busses in heavy ice and snow) , as well as gardening and teaching to name a few. I am also a qualified kayak instructor and teaching kayaking is probably the thing that has brought me the most enjoyment and inspiration out of anything I have ever done, although dues to life taking unexpected turns I haven't done this for quite a long time. I am absolutely fascinated by permaculture and all it has to offer the world and having fairly recently discovered it am very keen to learn more and to see it in action.

I love to read both novels and just about anything else and I have a deep deep love of music, both listening to and playing it, I am in love with food and try my hand at cooking with varied successes and failures! I love good company and good conversation when it is right and ripe but am also quite reclusive at times and need my time without others and without pressure to socialise or entertain. I am an open hearted, freedom loving being and I look forward to meeting and helping whoever out there may take us for a time.

so thats me, who are you and what do you do? have a wonderful day and I hope i'll get to meet some of you and share and learn something along the way!
