Description
My name is Martin. I love spending time in nature and enjoy working on various DIY projects. I even converted a
van into a mobile home, where I‘m still living in. By trade, I'm a trained metalworker and welder. I'm also very interested in woodworking and often find myself in the forest, exploring and crafting.

In my free time, I enjoy windsurfing, surfing, fishing, and creating different projects. I have a bit of experience with electrical work as well.

What motivates me the most is the contact and encounters with people. Seeing happy faces after completing a mission gives me immense satisfaction and drives me to keep going. Additionally, it’s incredibly fulfilling to see the projects I’ve built or helped with being used and appreciated.

A man – a word! Whatever Martin says – he does too! With his positive charisma, Martin has conquered the hearts of all farm dwellers from the beginning and quickly became the pivot point when it came to creative solutions for all kinds of challenges.… read more Learned is learned and therefore Martin was also able to show what a real porfi from the metallurgy can do. For example, in just 2 weeks he built a boathouse! Which I was very happy about, because finally a suitable winter place for the boat was created. Water is just his element: windsurfing and wakesurfing were Martin’s passion. And of course fishing! He caught pike and wild salmon of great importance in the net. A huge treat – also smoked in a cool smoking stove, which was once spontaneously built by him. With Martin and his beautiful cat Friedolin, the sun shone on the farm every day, even though it was actually much more rain than usual this summer 2024 I am sure that life will take you to the most wonderful places.
And: Yes, welcome if you are going back to the North again.
Anytime!

Ein Mann – ein Wort! Was Martin sagt – das macht er auch!
Mit seiner positven Ausstrahlung hat Martin von Anfang an die Herzen aller Hofbewohner erobert und wurde schnell zum Dreh- und Angelpunkt, wenn es um kreative Lösungen für alle möglichen Herausforderungen ging. Gelernt ist halt gelernt und daher konnte Martin auch zeigen, was ein echter Porfi aus dem Metallerhandwerk so alles drauf hat. Zum Beispiel hat er in nur 2 Wochen ein Bootshaus gebaut! Über das ich mich riesig gefreut habe, weil endlich ein geeigneter Winterplatz für’s Boot geschaffen wurde. Wasser ist eben sein Element: Windsurfen und Wakesurfen waren Martins Leidenschaft. Und natürlich das Fischen! Dabei gingen ihm Hechte und Wildlachse von kapitalem Gewicht ins Netz. Ein Riesen-Schmaus – auch geräuchert in einem coolen Räucherofen, der mal eben spontan von ihm gebaut wurde. Mit Martin und seinem wunderhübschen Kater Friedolin hat jeden Tag die Sonne auf den Hof geschienen, auch wenn es eigentlich viel mehr Regen als üblich in diesem Sommer 2024 gab. Ich bin sicher, dass jeder Host glücklich sein wird, durch Martin so viel handwerkliches Knowhow und soviel Freude an der Arbeit kennenzulernen mit so viel einfühlsamem und respektvollem Umgang mit Menschen und Tieren und mit so viel guter Laune. Gute Reise in den Süden – lieber Martin mit deinem wunderschönen Kater Friedolin! Ich bin sicher, das Leben wird dich an die wundervollsten Plätze bringen.
Und: Ja, herzlich willkommen, falls es dich nochmals in den Norden zieht.
Jederzeit!

I had a great stay in Jämtland, Sweden, where I got to know the local culture and learned a lot about living with and in nature. The highlights of my experience were fishing with a net and building a house for the boat. It was wonderful that I was allowed to use the boat and all the machines I needed for building. We also had many great… read more

Martin was helping us the last one month on the finca. We had a lot of renovation projects going on and he's very experienced so it was really like having a professional on the team. Especially with the welding it was a huge help we really needed a welder. He doesn't really get tired or care about free time or work time he does every job whenever… read more
