Description

Hello! 😊Thanks for checking out my profile. I’m a practical and proactive person who enjoys working outdoors, with both people and animals. I thrive in hands-on projects and bring a positive, reliable, and adaptable mindset. Whether building, farming, or caring for animals, I like to contribute fully and learn along the way.
Currently, I’m based in Switzerland (working as a bartender/waiter) and looking for my next Workaway experience in Norway from mid-November to April. I’m especially drawn to projects connected to nature, animals, and sustainable lifestyles.

Skills & Experience
Forestry & Woodwork – several years as a logger in the Alps, farm work, and practical woodworking.
Eco-construction – run a yurt-building company in France (Le Cœur au Soleil on Facebook). Experienced with tools, machinery, and off-grid living.
Animal Care – experience with horses, cows, and shepherd dogs. Excited to learn more, especially sled dogs.
Machinery – confident with tractors, loaders, trailers.
Permaculture – completed a PDC in Peru (2017) and have since designed/implemented sustainable systems.
Naturopathy & Holistic Health – 1500h training, with a focus on natural health, movement, and plants.
Babysitting.
Cooking.


From Nov–April, I’d love to join a project in Norway, ideally involving:
Animal care (sled dogs, horses, farm animals)
Eco-construction / sustainable building
Traditional or outdoor skills (fishing, hunting, dairy, wild plants, etc.)
I’m curious, adaptable, and happy to work both independently and as part of a team. My goal is to contribute meaningfully while learning new skills from inspiring people living close to nature.

I value healthy living and simple, natural /real food (not strict, just prefer home-made over processed), respect for nature and sustainable ways of living, clear, honest communication and teamwork.

I bring strong practical skills, real-world experience, and genuine enthusiasm for sustainable living. I’m reliable, hardworking, and motivated to help with any task — while learning from your knowledge and lifestyle.
