Description

### Currently looking for FARM SITTINGS (or house sitting with pets)
### Available IMMEDIATELY

I am 34, originally from Bavaria/Germany, a materials engineer by trade, but currently working as a full-time German online teacher. I´m fluent in both English and Spanish.

History:

From 2019 to 2021 I travelled quite extensively in Europe (Portugal, Iceland, Färoese Islands, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Sweden, Norway & France), while working in all kinds of jobs and enterprises (both workaway volunteering & regular full-time jobs), including dairy farms, hotels & gastronomy, bed & breakfasts, organic farms, construction & renovation, harvest and many other things.

From May to August 2023 I was working on an organic farm in southern Sweden, learning about the „no-till gardening“ technique and organic farming.

Later on I´ve lived in Bolivia for almost 3 years, running my own company in construction.

Currently studying:

Permaculture or regenerative / organic farming, climate, the soil, flora & fauna, composting techniques...

Always looking to expand my network and make new connections.

Looking forward!
