Description
Hey everyone! Luuk from Holland 33 years old. I went to the art academy, where I started working with wood. After the art academy I ended up in a big warehouse with other artists. For 7 years I tried to make it as an artist and it was going pretty well.

But at one point I thought: is this it? So I sold all my wooden sculptures and went to Costa Rica to help build an enormous wooden cargo sailing ship. I was there for a year and after that I travelled around Central America and California. From Colombia I then stepped onto an engineless sailing ship, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and ended up back in Holland.

Since then I've got my motorbike license, bought a motorbike and driven to Portugal. Now I'm on the road going to different workaway projects using my carpentry skiĺls along the way.

I was five weeks working at Giel's place and it was a great time!!
Every morning we had a nice breakfast together. The work was really nice, since I like building. He is great builder, so you can learn a lot, but he is also open for other people's opinion, which I think is a really nice quality.
After work we had a beer and made food (he and… read more

Mila and her family are the best. I really felt like their son since the first second I met them. Mila is funny and the communication was perfect. She brought everything I needed for the job.

Working with the difficult angles of a geodesic dome and creating a deck 16 feet up in the air on a mountain slope. He is very strong too ; ) He is fun, funny, super likable, and we had a great cultural exchange learning about his country and the other… read more
