Description
In 2009 I quit University and went traveling. I spend about 8 years on the road experiencing life and contemplating what I actually wanted to do in the short time we have on this amazing planet.
During those 8 years I met many amazing people, saw wonderful places, hitchhiked a lot, spend many months hiking which became a big passion of mine, volunteered at places I happened to cross paths with, used workaway, wwoofed at different projects, used sites like couchsurfing/bewelcome/trustroots, learned about designing a space with permaculture and natural farming, biodynamic farms, repaired old houses, learned a lot about history (another passion of mine) and botany which I find very fascinating.
In 2017 I joined the rat race again and had a break from traveling, but since 2022 I am focusing more on my dreams. Which is finding a place where I can do a project I am passionate about since a long time, which is growing my own food and restoring or building a house. Also spending time doing meditation or helping people in the region and kindling my passion for playing music.
I love learning new things, meeting people or just spend time in the wilderness. I try to be a honest person, quiet, calm and trying to live in the present.
These are some sayings I try to live by:
-The only constant is change
-Everyone is a student and a teacher

More details about your skills
I have done many things over the years, but not perfected any skill.
- Spend quite some time learning about plants, working with trees, volunteering in nature parks, working in organic farms. Last 2 years I ran a garden with a friend for a community. So a general knowledge of planting, weeding, companion planting, crop rotations etc.
- Done some woodworking during my life, for example making simple items, making and fixing some furniture, fix things around the house, helping to repair an old wooden house. (I mostly work with hand tools)
- Helped some families with taking care of their children (between 2 and 18).
- Can fix most things on a bicycle, some things on computers/laptops, some other electronic equipment.
- Worked in hostels. B&B's and hotels. Things like reception, cleaning, helping customers. Although not interested in doing that as a main task.
- Spend a lot of time on the road and learning how to live with very little. So you learn how to think out of the box to solve many problems with simple things.
