Description
at the moment prefering paid jobs.

please read full profile if u want me to help in your place, thanks 🙏🏽

lets start with the basic principal, being honest. after the years i have learned that its very important to communicate (preferable with non violent communication) our needs very clear. so here we go:
- i prefer not to work with any chemicals (for example:so if you want me to paint your house, make sure that you have natural painting). i have just one body (at least in this life) and i prefer to take care about it. thank you
- i do have some costs (car, dog,..) so whenever there is the chance to work for some extra-cash (at your place, or at the neighboursplace, or in the local restaurant) i am very happy about it.
-in wintertime (depends in what climatezone you are) i prefer not to stay in my van, and would be happy if you offer accomadation with a stove. (can be basic-wood).
- covid: i prefer if we all take care of each other and all the other people in this world. so i am not into any conspiration. i prefer to trust that governments and politics trying to do there jobs for control the virus, and not for controling us. i trust and believe in that (at least in germany, france, spain, portugal). if your opinions are to different about that, we better might not be living together in this moment where we are in this world.

sometimes we do not know what we want, but at least its good to know what we don t want.

after years of helping in many different projects, i would slowly settle down again for a while.
so i am kind of looking for a place (or better to say, i want that place to find me) where i can give and also receive what we need.
the strongest need is to work with organic matter and creating or being in foodforests.
i am a certificated yoga instructor (hatha yoga), but also like different kinds of yoga.
beside that, i appreciate working with the nature and animals.
i would like living and comparting sustainable projects, building with any recyclet (palets for example),
or natural materials. (bioconstruction)
i have been teaching/cooking/living in different (yoga) retreat-centers, also preparing vegan meals. (wouldn t say i am a chef, but i guess i understand to prepare some simple vegies, fruits and making some gluteen-free breads all with an nice presentation ;))
years before i used to have an ecological bananafinca. i was living in the tropics and subtropics but now is a time for being in europe (spain/portugal) with my dog (pastor garafiano, canary shepherd) in a van. for the winterseason i prefer to stay in a place with a room or house with stove (wood).
before my "farming life" i was more into juggling (working in the traffic light) and playing guitar. i still do and like these thing. but creating, planting, building and being with animals plus living a basic farming life with a healthy lifestyle and daily yoga is my strongest need.
so if i would come to help in your project, it would need to fit for my dog as well. she is very noble, very lovefull with humans and most other dogs/animals!
also it would be nice if your place is having a little social contact with the local people and (of course) their language!
