Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi everyone, I am Jerom, 33 years old and consider myself a very nature minded person. i worked in Nature management & education for the past 10 years and have learned a lot about plants, animals and the natural system. I love spending time away from al the luxury and digitale media that we've gotten used to. I also find it really hard not to get distracted by these things.
After workawaying from 2022 to 2024 i'm went back to the Netherlands to work, i'm looking to spend my summer holiday workawaying.
I dream of owning a piece of land in a hidden valley somewhere, making a life of my land. Growing my own supplies, but also generate enough profit to buy the things i cant grow. For me money is a means to an end, not a goal in itself.

I'm a easy going and laid back, physically and mentally fit and used to being outside all year in any weather.

What else ...

My biggest hobby are reptiles, especially snakes. In my spare time i love to try and find them in the wild and photograph them. I've found almost every species of snake in Europe allready.
Drinking a beer with some friends around a campfire is the best way to spend an evening.
I also like some time on my own just to read or listen to music.
