Description

Hey I‘m Philip, I‘m 20 years old and I spent 2.5 years after graduation abroad to travel and surf any wave I can find. After having traveled around the Pacific via workaway, I spent 3 months in Spain surfing and doing workaway. I've learned a lot during these past years and have now settled to study sports science in Constance, Germany. From a young age, my parents had me working in the garden and splitting wood, as well as plenty of sports to keep my energy level at bay :). After studying I want to learn carpentry to possibly start making my own surfboards. Normally I can help out with about anything and contribute my ideas, based upon my experience working on several farms and other workaways. When I'm not working, I like to explore nature, cook or bake with local ingredients and of course surf. Sometimes I do agree to go out to party but normally sunset surfing will do the job for me. From my Chilean friends I have learned to live, laugh and appreciate the moment, especially the more I'm outside, less on my phone, interacting with people and provided with enough food. Let's rock🤙🏽

More details about your skills

My Dad is a home worker. He started renovating our house before we moved in and since the age of 8 I´ve been helping him. From breaking out bathrooms over painting and working on a scaffold to moving heavy furniture I´ve done about everything around the house. I´ve also worked for my godfather, using heavier tools like the jackhammer or big drills and I learned how to mix concrete according to the usage. In addition to this, I worked as a gardener/ maintenance worker after finishing high school, so I know how to work most gardening tools and other maintenance machinery. I did a 2-weeks forestry apprenticeship, where we were working outside a lot. to conclude, I have no problem and am used to doing physically exhausting work. I've also been splitting wood and working with chainsaw and weedwhacker with my father for a long time because we have a wood heating system, so I am very good at that. On Hawaii I did a workaway, where I learned to use a paint sprayer and do landscaping, which I further developed helping a landscaper in Germany for 3 months, where i also learned to lay tiles. For 5 months I worked at a supermarket, where I had to work fast and efficient, which worked well for me. I love working with animals too, I helped out at a petting zoo voluntarily for 2 months. Throughout my youth my mom made sure that I take responsibility for certain tasks around the house and I cooked a lot during a bodybuilding phase in my teenage years, and I've taken the last two years to refine those skills. I'm interested in art projects and have a creative mind full of ideas to contribute some wild German thoughts:). I started learning how to barista during my stay in Colorado and I've acquired tourism skills in a surf/kayak tour shop I worked for on Hawaii, as well as Surf Hostels in Ecuador. Furthermore, I worked in a community garden on Bali and on a commercial farm in Australia. In Spain I helped with gardening and harvesting tasks.
