Description
Being in an environment where my pragmatic hands on and action oriented approach come in play, really motivates me. Outdoor life and being in touch with nature of all kinds and at all times exploring and learning new things from life, my preference for simplicity, my background as a qualified psychotherapist, a qualified wellness & sports massage therapist and a life long interest in spirituality characterizes the essence of me.

This makes me a very versatile resource who can contribute in many ways on physical as well as on mental levels. I can talk to and with people, I am very service minded and I take a positive and proactive approach to my surroundings.

I am an explorer and take a curious and open-minded approach to what life offers me. Physically (and mentally :-)) fit, skilled in hospitality/tourism, a trained massage therapist, a meditation practitioner, a guitarplayer/singer sometimes in front of small audiences. Technically skilled in a wide variety of areas from gardening, cooking over ICT to many disciplines in building and mechanical craftsmanship a.o.
