  • Description

    I’m a builder, an artist, and a passionate believer in sustainable living. I’ve got 7 years of construction experience (on and off), a degree in sustainable architecture, and a personal mission to contribute to climate-resilient, locally grounded projects across the world. I’ve been living nomadically for almost a year now, so I travel light, adapt quickly, and don’t need much—just good work and good people.

    I’m especially drawn to projects that involve eco-building techniques and a strong sense of community. I can offer hands-on construction skills, a solid work ethic, and a creative eye—I love sketching and painting the places and projects I’m part of, and I’d be happy to share that with the community too.

    Let me know if it sounds like I’d be a good fit. I’d love to get involved.

    I'm interested in learning and exchanging languages. I'm especially drawn to German at the moment and tend to pick it up quite naturally, but I’m always open to practicing other languages too. I love the idea of learning through conversation and sharing cultures.

  • More details about your skills

    I’ve spent the past 7 years (on and off) working in construction—both on-site and in design. I studied sustainable architecture at university and have a strong interest in climate-resilient buildings and community-led design. I’ve helped build everything from concrete structures to timber frames, and I’m especially passionate about using natural, local materials and exploring low-impact ways of building.

    My focus now is on building sustainable communities—physically and socially—and learning the skills I need to contribute meaningfully to projects with real purpose. I love working with my hands, learning from others, and sharing what I can. I’ve also volunteered on a construction project in rural Fiji, which deepened my interest in climate adaptation and community resilience.

    I’m a decent cook, easy to live with, pretty adaptable, and very used to the backpacker lifestyle. I also paint and sketch during my travels, which has helped me slow down, observe the world more deeply, and appreciate local cultures. I’m here to learn, contribute, and grow—with my head down, my hands busy, and my heart in it.

  • What else ...

    I’m into meaningful conversations, art, and meeting interesting, open-minded people. I’m passionate about sustainability and hands-on construction — I genuinely enjoy physical work, especially when it’s purposeful. I love learning new skills and being part of a team with a shared goal. In the evenings, I’m usually keen to chill, maybe share a beer or some good music with new friends. I sketch and paint as I travel, which helps me connect with the places I pass through in a deeper way.
