  • Description

    I was a salesman for tech companies for a few years while I was university and now that I graduated I want to launch into a different journey. I want to learn something new, especially about farming - and I'm hitchhiking around the world to do so.
    Lately I was in New Mexico helping out a friend around his property for about two weeks. He taught me how to irrigate his field, care for the irrigation canal, dig a pond and harvest some crops.
    It was a very enriching first step on my journey and made me crave for more. I am currently looking for my next agricultural adventure!

  • More details about your skills

    I'm very polyvalent. I grew up on a small farm so I know my way around some of the tasks like feeding animals or growing small crops. I might not know my way around everything on a farm but having spent a lot of time on one means I've got what I need to learn.

    I also spent 4 years studying political science, sociology, and economics. At the same time, I worked as a salesman for about 2 years. Both of these gave me a great deal of discipline and I learned to be organized around my tasks and to take them seriously.

    I also worked in fast food and on a market for years which taught me to work with other people and get along with everybody. It also taught me to work fast and to be resilient - especially at my first job where I worked for 10 or 11 hours without sitting more than 10 minutes at lunchtime.

  • What else ...

    I love going on hikes and long walks (which works out well with hitchhiking around the world).

    I have a creative side too. I love music and I recorded a few songs of my own. I dream to put together a documentary and my girlfriend and I have lately launched into video making with our very first video.
    We are currently seeking an agricultural or artisinal enterprise where we could shoot our next video.
