Hi, I'm John! (22y)
I love programming and gardening 🪴 A really wild mix for sure.
Currently I am studying Computer Science in Aachen (DE).
I am a calm guy who wants to live in and with nature while meeting interesting people. I like to travel because it's a great change from everyday life.
I am looking forward to lending a hand on construction, renovation, gardening or technical stuff or anything that I am able to deliver on.
In return I like nice gardens, cozy homes and welcoming, understanding people.
My freetime is mostly based on developing web applications as a freelancer and studying. I spend a lot of my time on Discord with my friends, getting into discussions about new and old tech stuff or collaborating on a project.
Contrary to my dedication to computers, I like to care for my plants that cover almost every inch of the room, balcony and garden. Ranging from potatos, tomatoes, strawberries to oleander and olive tree, I was able to gather quite a bit of knowledge about plants.
I am looking forward to meeting nice people out there and expanding my horizon.Interests

More details about your skills
### Websites, Electronics, Tech
I got my first computer when I was 12 and been studying programming ever since. Following that I went to a specialised high school with the main emphases on programming after which I started studying computer science at the University of Marburg. Besides all the eduction I am working as a freelance web programmer where I create homepages for my few clients.
### Construction, Woodworking, Renovation
My family bought an old house approximately 6 years ago. After we survived a fire coming out of the chimney, we started renovating. We insulated the walls and plastered them with clay. Besides that we layed new wooden flooring and so much more where I had opportunity to learn from my dad.
I also am interested in woodworking. Everything woody.
### Gardening
I have a lively interest in plants and care for probably too many plants in my small room. Besides house plants, I have tried outdoor plants such as potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic and hemp with some success.Age
