Description

Hi,
my Name ist Matthias.
I am originally from Germany, but for the past 2 years I have been living in Thailand, where I set up my own little selfsustainable farming project with chicken, Turkeys, catfish and agrarforestry.
I built everything myself mostly out of bamboo and recycled materials.
Unfortunately I was always struggeling with health problems during the rainy season and now, had to finally leave my farm and sell all my animals.
I am still very commited to follow the lifestyle of selfsunstainability and want to spend the upcoming time to learn more skills especially in building and farming.

I love being in community with likeminded people but after 2 years of living in hostel dorms and shared rooms I actually also started valuing a safe and private space for myself.
Since I have no standarts where I sleep, some quiet space on the property where I can put up my tent and maybe make myslef a little fire in the evening would be highly appreciated. I have no problems walking to the toilets or something like that
