Description

Hi!

My name is Niels and I am 33 years old.

I have 3 passions in life; animals, music and movement.

I love meeting new people, sharing life experiences and learning from one another.

I am most interested in learning about ways to help integrate our human existence in accordance with nature. I'd love to learn more about caring for animals, rewilding, habitat restoration, natural gardening, permaculture and such.

About my capabilities;

I have had experience in alot of farmwork (mostly fruit but varying), gardening, construction, housekeeping, hospitality, painting, renovating, building floating wetlands and quite a few different things still while travelling. Physical labour has always been present in my life and I'll take it over a desk job any day of the week.

In Belgium my occupations were working in a store that provides animal care necessities, hand crafting drum kits and before that I used to work for a company that handled the water distribution for a large part of Belgium.
If we go back even further all my other jobs were as random as the next one, so you could say I'm a bit of a jack of all trades. I love learning new things!

Much love

Niels

More details about my language interests
I'm fluent in Dutch and English (and pretty okay in French) so I could teach someone on the basics. Learning new languages is a great thing and I enjoy doing so if the occasion arrises.

More details about your skills

I'm a person who enjoys picking up new skills everywhere, a mindset which has left me with a varied skillset.
I enjoy working with my hands and have grown especially fond of woodworking lately. I spent some time building custom drum sets as well as some random carpentry jobs here and there.
I have worked in an animal supply store, did a desk job for the government once, was a security officer at the airport, maintained the water grid (laying new pipes, fixing leaks,...), worked in a bar, helped building festivals,...

In short: I've done a lot and I'm still happy to learn new things!

Age

33

What else ...

Well I'd say my number one interest would be insects (and animals in general). So if your garden is filled with little critters that can't be found where I live, you'll be sure to see me try and spot as many of them as I can.
I love sharing music preferences and getting to know new bands, artists,...
I'm a beginner drummer myself, so if there's an old drum kit somewhere in the attic you don't mind me banging on, be sure to let me know! (I'll provide some earplugs :D)
One more thing, I love trying out just about anything. It's really easy getting me on board to go do something I haven't tried yet!
