Description

*** Arriving in Sao Paulo on 8th Dec 2025, slowly volunteering through South America from Argentina through Chile and Peru all the way to Mexico, looking forward to meeting new people 😊***

My name is Theo, I’m 28, Mechanical Engineer by degree, adventurer by choice 🌎
Basically, I want to see everything this world has to offer and everything I can offer to this world!

I grew up with French, German and English at home, and love languages as a way to connect with people from around the world, so I picked up some decent Spanish and Japanese, as well as a little bit of Greek recently.

I've been teaching languages, maths & kickboxing to kids, teenagers and adults alike during my studies and travels and I'd love to keep learning even more things in order to then share them with others 🤝 Skills I want to acquire or improve on include permaculture, woodworking, bioconstruction, filming, editing, surfing, motorbiking, etc.

I’m full of energy and open to any social or manual work— I’m reliable, positive, and always happy to help, especially when it comes to creating a fun atmosphere!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

More details about your skills

Basically, I can do anything I put my mind to, and love figuring things out as they come 😌 I work well with clear instructions but also self-managed, depending on the projects.

🌻🪵Gardening & Outdoor Work
Grew up helping at our family cabin—chopping wood, lighting fires, gardening, painting. Comfortable with physical work and happy to get my hands dirty. Planted Olive trees in Crete and set up an automatic irrigation system.

⚒️⚙️Construction, DIY, Engineering
Helped with a few renovation projects, so no problems with moving stuff around, painting, sanding, using (power) tools, basic repairs, DIY builds, also 3D printing, Li-Ion / LFP batteries, and entry-level engineering tasks. Eager to learn more about sustainable building, off-grid systems, and permaculture.

🤸👨‍🏫Sports, Childcare & Teaching
Muay Thai / Kickboxing instructor (licenced trainer) for kids, teens, and adults. I love making movement fun, safe, and structured, and enjoy doing some calisthenics workouts. Also experienced in tutoring (math, science, languages), animation & babysitting.

🎯🎤Project Management & Events
Organized schedules, events, and team coordination. I also love hosting social events and parties—planning, logistics, and keeping the vibe alive ✌️
Used to animation, guided tours, Pub Quizz...

🍲☕Cooking & hospitality
Love cooking for groups— balanced vegetarian, vegan, meat-based meals. I enjoy experimenting and adapting recipes to what's available. Worked behind the bar making excellent coffees and drinks & loved it!

🖥️🌐Computer & Online Skills
I know my way around a computer. Proficient in CAD (engineering background), Microsoft Office, social media management, basic video editing, and content creation.

💬Languages & Communication
Fluent in German, French, and English. Conversational in Spanish and Japanese, learning Italian and Greek. I enjoy cultural exchange and feel at ease in multilingual environments.

🎹🎤Music
10 years of piano playing—happy to share, jam, or just bring some music into the mix. I'm a bit rusty though and would need some practice to feel comfy before playing :D

🐱🐎Animal Care
I worked 3 months at a family farmstead with horses, sheep, rabbits, pigs, chickens, dogs and cats, so I'm comfortable with animals, eager to learn more how to take care of them 🫶
