Description

Hi you all out there, I am a very easy going laidback person, glass is always half full and don't see any problems there are only solutions.

I am a professional painter, electrician, carpenter,placing tiles/wooden floors,knowledge of plumbing. 25 years of experience in construction. Former manager of a decoration company.
Also in the possession of a nice drone so I can shoot some nice footage for privat or commercial use.

Last years I worked as a teamleader on a nice workaway site but projects are running to an end and it is time to move on so looking for new opportunities.
Destination is not important , for me it is more the experience that matters.
So far I volunteered in 10 countries.
Feel free to contact me.

What else ...

I have one big dealbreaker and that is I DONT SHARE ROOMS,
for some reasons many hosts automatically assume that volunteers are keen on doing this but I am not a regular volunteer.

- Driver's licence

Stayed 1.5 week at Uta's place and was happy to help her out by installing her kitchen.
Workwise is was pretty chill for me.
As Uta is a tourguide she knows the area really well and she is happy to share her knowledge. Best is that you have a car to explore the area.
Overall it was a nice experience 👌

He installed a large ceiling and built a gyprock wall amongst many other smaller jobs. Steven is hardworking, energetic and flexible and he gets along well with everyone in the house. I really enjoyed Steven's great … read more

We were so lucky to have Steven stay with us for two weeks. He helped us with carpentry work and was very skilful and effective. In the short time he spent with us he built a terrace, some window frames, a door frame and a built-in wardrobe, all of which were significant improvements to our project! He was also great company and we enjoyed our … read more

What a productive week! Steven was with us during a stopover on his way towards the north of Sweden, and he helped a lot with isolating the floor of an attic. He really knows what he's doing, he's open to exchange suggestions and comes with great ideas, a pleasure to work with and a nice guy to have around.
You are more than welcome to come by … read more

Again a very nice experience. Thought I came to help out in the garden ( what I eventually did) but after a few days Netti asked if I was interested in making fresh home made icecream. Well that was a nice change of scenery, instead of mixing paint and plaster she made me feel comfortable enough to mix icecream 😀.
Netti makes you feel at home and … read more

It was wonderful to have Steven in my home one week and it was a pitty for me he could't stay longer. He is amazing. He helped in the garden, with painting and electrics and other repair work. I wish him all the best an hope to see him again. He is always welcome.

Well what to say, what started as a 2 weeks stay turned into a 14 months experience.
It felt like coming to this place on the right moment, Cyrus and Andrea are really amazing hosts and after a while this wasn't like a workaway place but it became home.
I was able to help them out and advice them on many construction projects and thanks to the … read more
