Description

Celebrating life. I'd consider myself an easy going open minded guy. I love challenges and being outside. I like to live close to nature which fascinates me endlessly. At home I use permaculture design principles to retrofit the house and garden to becoming self-sufficient in our water, food and energy requirements. With this I aim to create living ecosystems in which nature and people both profit. My hobbies include hiking, playing guitar and travelling to discover new environments and cultures.

More details about your skills

I have a bachelor degree in animal management with a specialisation in wildlife conservation and animal testing. During my studies I did multiple half year internships conducting my own research on various forms of wildlife including one studying reptiles on the Soutpansberg in South-Africa.

Before my bachelor study i finished an intermediate vocational training to become an allround technician. This education in combination with multiple practical jobs in agriculture and construction helped me develop a broad scale of skills including gardening, animal caretaking, building, metalworking, woodworking and driving agricultural vehicles. While putting permaculture designprinciples into practice around our house I keep developing these skills even further.

During the summerseason I work with an ecological advisory bureau for which i perform field survey's for collecting data on bats and birds in buildings. Other experiences include being a field guide and GIS analyst for local nature conservation organisations.
