Travel information

I am currently

Description

I feel most at home outdoors, learning new things and working alongside good people. I enjoy practical work where I can see the results at the end of the day, whether that means building, gardening or simply helping wherever I am needed.

I would describe myself as easy-going, reliable and curious. I enjoy simple living, nature, hiking, cycling, paragliding and spending time outside. I do not need much to be happy—a good conversation, a shared meal, learning a new skill or a day spent outdoors is usually enough.

One of the reasons I travel is to learn. I am especially interested in construction, woodworking, biodiversity, gardening, self-sufficiency, languages and different cultures. I believe everyone has something to teach, and there is always something new to learn.

More details about your skills

I am a qualified bricklayer with several years of professional experience in construction and renovation. I enjoy practical work and am happy to help with building projects, repairs, woodworking, painting, maintenance and general DIY tasks. I also have experience operating excavators and other construction machinery.

As a social educator, I have developed strong communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds and am comfortable taking responsibility when needed.

I also work as an all-rounder at a campsite, where I help with maintenance, gardening, landscaping, small construction projects and keeping the facilities in good condition. This has made me flexible, adaptable and confident in tackling a wide variety of practical tasks.
