Description

Hi there!
My name’s Nikolai and I’m from Russia. I am 46 years old and a friendly, flexible and a very hardworking person who enjoys hands on work and environmental friendly living.
I am passionate about organic farming and permaculture because it gives me a sense of living in balance with the world around me.
I have some exposure to construction work such as basic carpentry, masonry, and natural building. I always look forward to improving my skills while hosting experienced instructors and sharing my passion for sustainable living.
I am open-minded, ready to accept new tasks, and willing to assist with general labor, farming, and whatever else is required. I do enjoy meeting new friends from around the world and different cultures which makes this collaboration very interesting for me!
I hope to be in contact with hosts and promise to give a great deal of skill and energy to the work related to great projects!
Kind regards,
Nikolai
