  • Description

    Hi there :)

    I am Max and shortly finishing my masters degree in landscape architecture and landscape planning. I am very passionate about plants, the environment and how we humans are dealing with the earth, that we are guests on. I am an easy going, low maintenance kind of person and I like to move a lot. I love rock climbing, running, hiking, cycling and surfing. Previously I was a chef and know a thing or two about the kitchen magic. I am very interested in getting to know different cultures and languages. One of my biggest dreams is to smell and experience the tropical rain forrest.
    I am very happy to apply and share my skills and knowledge as well as learning from other people.

    peace and love
    Max

  • More details about your skills

    I am a very hands-on person with a fresh master's degree in Landscape architecture. I am self employed with a very small gardening business and I work at Vienna's BOKU University at the institute of soil bioengineering and landscape construction in research, where creative construction and problem solving is of the essence. There I am working on urban heat mitigation through plants, rainwater management and soil bioengineering, where the motto is 'plants instead of concrete' - how can we stop the earth from being sealed and make it a resilient, living system again. I'm also a trained chef and worked as one in alpine huts for a bit. That may sound like a lot, but I am a really chilled character :). I am an introvert and what you would maybe call a phlegmatic. I will start my PhD soon and as intermission time I would like to experience the rainforests and waves of our beautiful planet and get my hands dirty as usual.
    Looking forward to hearing from you,
    all the best,
    Max
