Description

Hi, Thanks for taking a look at my profile!
Ive been looking for a way to find myself and figure out what I want in life and I figure one of the best ways of doing this is through helping others :) I feel this is the best way for me to expand my capabilities, I love to tackle projects and work together on things, or Im also happy working just by myself.

Furthermore I'm pretty open minded, outgoing. I like to play some games every now and then, mostly singleplayer games. And I'm no stranger to netflix aswell haha.
I also love to play music, I play a bit of piano and guitar and could also teach some basics :) im also trying to produce music but ive got a lot to learn here!

More details about your skills

School: level 4 MBO ( secondary vocational education) in the field of metalworking and engineering.

I know my way around most (hand) tools and I like metal and (fine)woodworking and working on a homestead or farmhouse! I also like big cleanup jobs, so if you have an overgrown garden or an attic/basement i'd love to help!

Your chainsaw or other engine driven tool needs a tune up? Maybe I could help out!

Ive repaired woodrot in my camper and installed a custom desk.

Ill take on most DIY jobs too, masonry, plumbing, building a shed or fence etc etc. Might need some pointers in some fields though! Ask away :)

And anything else you might have in mind, just ask :D

What a nice man Peter is, easy to get along with, a joke every now and then and a good conversation. Peter can work well on his own and has good ideas. We were very happy to have Peter here. Our garden shed is a bit more finished.
We agreed to meet again. It was also easy for us to be able to simply speak Dutch with each other.
It was a nice time

Peter was such a huge help. He stayed two weeks and has helped around the house. He is a very handy and responsible person and it was a pleasure to share these two weeks with him.

Peter is one of the most easy-going and low-maintenance Workawayers we've had and we really enjoyed his company. He is autonomously hardworking, dedicated and just a really nice guy! He completely revamped our tomato garden, sifting and cultivating the soil and using the stones to create weed-free paths. It is now as beautiful as it is fertile and … read more

I had an amazing time at kate's, she is really friendly and open to conversations. We did some fixing up around the house and she would also lend a hand when necessary. Carcassonne is a beautiful town aswell, especially the medieval centre. If you're looking for a restaurant I can suggest L'Ostal in the medieval centre :)

I feel very lucky to have met Peter. He was amazing, walking into my life at my hour of need.... having met him only the night before, he came back to take my dog to the vet to be 'put to sleep'. She warmed to him straight away and we spend a few hours together before Peter carried her to the car, as she was too heavy for me. I was amazed by his … read more
