Description
Ciao, hi there!
I have done quite a bit of voluntary work over the years in several countries. What motivates me to do so is the great way it offers to see what the actual way of life is in the country I am in. Sitting on the beach, or hotels all day does not interest me. Perhaps it's a bit of a 'Dutch thing', but I feel at my best when I'm useful and my skills are needed and appreciated. What also brings great joy is being in quiet and majestic nature, absorbing it and look for places to call home at some point.

More details about your skills
I am a bit 'older', but as a result I acquired quite a few skills. I am a gardener, so I am proficient in the use of any handtool, small machines like brush cutters, chainsaws, larger machines like small to large mowers of any type, tractors from 2 wheel ones to large 4x4's. Also I will not damage your equipment, and perhaps even fix them as is a side-hobby of mine. I am familiar with almost any garden skill or job, although my heart better likes Vegetable gardens or fruit orchards. Because of my own vegetable garden I have plenty of experience in that too. I build my own offgrid house in a large autobus, so I can use pretty much any handtool or electric equipment and know my way around wood. Metals as well, I can work metal and weld at beginners level [basic electrode].
More skills are firewood processing and stacking, generic painting, 12V solar offgrid systems, generic water system plumming and simple electrical jobs, bread baking, liqueur making, drivers license+experience towing trailers, furniture fixing and finishing.

What else ...
Already partially mentioned, but I really like old farming/garden machinery or hand tools. I have a collection myself, and I like to restore them to practical use [Do you have any nice Ferrari two wheel tractors around??]
