Description

Hello! I'm Markus, a passionate world traveler hailing from the picturesque Westerwald, Germany. Since leaving in 2015, my diverse journey has encompassed a myriad of domains, from the culinary delights of vegan tapas in Porto to the serene landscapes of the Canary Islands.

My experiences span animal care, child-rearing, gardening, metalwork, craftsmanship, vehicle repairs, artistry, literature, non-profit endeavors, and more.

Skills and Experience:

Gastronomy: Vegan and vegetarian cuisine are my specialties, creating dishes that captivate even the most discerning of palates.

Craftsmanship & Construction: My expertise includes everything from masonry and renovations to solar system installations.

Gardening & Landscaping: I've transformed both simple and intricate landscapes, blending organic cultivation with advanced garden designs.

Digital & Technology: I possess a strong grasp of digital platforms, from web hosting to the intricacies of smart contracts and NFTs on the blockchain.

Animals: My love for animals is profound. Whether it's going on runs with dogs, enjoying a cozy snuggle with cats, or ensuring their proper grooming and nutrition, I always make sure to respect and care for the creatures in my life.

Children: The laughter and innocence of children deeply resonate with me. As a father of two, a girl and a boy, I cherish every moment spent with them. From nurturing their independence to providing comfort during trying times, I'm there, listening, supporting, and fostering their natural curiosity.

Metalwork (Trained Tool Maker): My expertise in metalwork ranges from selecting the right kind of ferrous or non-ferrous metals to precise processing. I'm skilled in welding techniques and finishing methods, ensuring durable and high-quality results.

Vehicles: From bobby cars to Porsches, balance bikes to racing machines, I repair everything that can be fixed with amateur tools. Whether it's the drive system, steering, or brakes, I'm hands-on, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

Art: My artistic spirit is boundless, manifesting in garden designs, interior spaces, and EDM music. I have a special fondness for drumming.

Author: As a published author, my creativity in literature knows no bounds.
Non-Profit Work: Committed to giving back, I actively support non-profit efforts, from club tasks and crowdfundings to drafting bylaws.

Licenses and Certificates:
Driving Licenses: Cars, Motorcycles, and Large Trailers (up to 7.5t combined weight)
Journeyman's Certificate
Instructor's Certificate

What I'm looking for: I aim to find opportunities where I can apply my broad skill set for the betterment of the community and environment. Eager to drive positive change, I always look for projects that resonate with my values and passions. I am continuously learning and am always open to sharing my knowledge and partaking in constructive exchanges.

More details about your skills

I like to call myself an all-rounder because I love acquiring as many skills as possible. I enjoy learning and sharing knowledge. When it comes to the A-Z of handyman services, I start with plumbing and end with electrical work, whether it's water, fuels, or electricity. In the garden, I have honed my skills from my native Germany to Central Portugal and Southeast Tenerife. Some places lack sunshine, while others have too much. I have a passion for plants and take pleasure in their propagation and preservation, even in challenging conditions. This passion stems from my connection to herbalism. I also have a great fondness for animals. I enjoy being around people as well. Children appreciate me; they enjoy crafting, jumping around, learning, making music, and cooking with me. I also value my solitude for my projects: online marketing, writing, digital art, and work. I find inner peace during nature walks. When it comes to food, I enjoy assisting and improvising, with garden treasures being number one. But not without flavor. I currently don't have a car, but I can dismantle and reassemble most of it, including two-wheeled vehicles of all kinds.
