More details about your skills
I have worked for the past 5 years in construction companies, last two years as a project manager/drawer for a smaller eco-friendly timber framing company. I'm educated as a Civil engineer (Architectural).
Completed 1 year of woodworking evening classes.
Have been the designated handyman at home for several years now.
I do some maintenance jobs on my motorcycle in my free time.
Every week I help out at a wildlife sanctuary in Belgium. We mainly have small wildlife like hedgehogs, chipmunks, doves and falcons,... but from time to time we encounter deer, foxes or a wild boar. Apart from that, we host some larger birds of prey, and until recently a population of arctic foxes.
I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and pick up things quite easily. Always interested to learn new skills/improve the ones I have.
Have been a swimming teacher for the past ten years now, also like to help my younger brother and sister when they are stuck on some schoolwork.
Skilling up on my outdoor skills at the moment. Have made quite a few camping trips already but still hungry for more.
During education I used a lot of different computer programs and got some programming classes. I'm not exactly a programmer but would say i know my way around computers for day to day problems.
Other interests are (wildlife)photography and (as I suppose for everyone here) travelling. Also would like to increase my knowledge of ecologicaly-responsible natural building/...
Less useful skills: Unicycle riding and a bit of jugling (not simultaniously - yet)
Age
29
What else ...
Hobbies: Swimming (also teaching)
Likes: The four-legged furball that destroys our house (dog)
Proud off: I have four siblings, I have learned to keep my cool throughout the years and became quite skilled at conflict management ;)
