Description

I’m a practical and friendly person, currently travelling with the intention of learning real-world skills, meeting people, discovering new places, and enjoying the process along the way.

I feel good when I’m doing useful, hands-on work, whether that’s building, farming, fixing things, or working with animals especially when it’s part of something meaningful and shared.

Right now I’m focusing on learning wood construction and traditional building methods. I’m particularly drawn to timber framing, cabins, log structures, furniture making, and outdoor building projects using natural non toxic materials.

My goal is simply to learn on site, stay consistent, and gradually build real skills in woodworking and construction through experience.

I enjoy playing music, spending time hiking in the mountains, making fires, running, and staying active through sport and yoga. I also like cooking, and I’m interested in learning more about nutrition, somatic practices and health in general.

I value creativity, teamwork, honesty, and simple, grounded living. I like environments where people work together, communicate clearly, and share a sense of respect and balance in daily life.

Food is really important to me. I prefer real, natural, home-made food over processed or industrial products.
Over time, I’ve explored different ways of eating (vegan, vegetarian, and more conventional diets), and I’ve also studied nutrition and naturopathy. Today, I don’t really follow strict dietary labels anymore, I see nutrition as something very personal and complex, influenced by many factors.

I am flexible, but I generally tend toward a paleo / ancestral / GAPS-style way of eating, based on whole foods like meat, organs, animal fats, eggs, fish, raw milk, vegetables, herbs, and fruits, with a strong focus on quality nose-to-tail animal products.

For me, the main interest is understanding what truly supports health and well-being in each individual case, while staying open and curious about different foods, dishes, and traditions.

One day, I’d like to create a small regenerative homestead focused on food growing, animals, natural building, and simple living. For now, I’m focused on learning, helping where I can, and sharing good experiences with the people I meet along the way.

What else ...

I am also open to paid work.

I usually commit to the agreed stay, but I reserve the right to end it earlier if needed.

I try to live a simple and low-toxicity lifestyle where possible, especially around food, materials, and daily environment.
In terms of living setup, I prefer having some personal space when possible, as it helps me recharge and stay focused, but I am flexible depending on the project and situation.

I value genuine cultural exchange, where there is also interest in sharing time, skills, and experiences together.

And I really enjoy simple moments like music, storytelling, or sharing time around a fire when it happens naturally.
