Description
I love anything practical and hands on, meeting new people, making friends and being in the countryside. Since spending a few months in New Zealand last year I have gained a lot of interest and some experience in permaculture, agroforestry, organic and regenerative farming. I'd love to learn more and explore this further. Quite a lot of my experiences have also been on the similar WWOOF website, so I have done a few more projects than the
I grew up on a farm, and before starting my engineering degree I was a joiner/carpenter. I have lots of practical experience working on farms/small holdings mostly around cows and sheep. I think I have or am willing to learn many of the practical skills that help practical projects run smoothly, and I love problem solving. -

What else ...
I play guitar, bass, keys (badly), a bit of drums and will try any instrument I can get my hands on. I also paint and draw but am definitely still learning.
I enjoy woodwork as a hobby and after my degree I am considering going back to making furniture as a job.
I will try my hand at any art or skill you can offer, and am always very keen to learn.
Also I love cooking, especially as a social activity, its a great way to bring people together, learn and have a good time all round. -
