My next destination:
Switzerland - until Mar 2025 View allDescription
I have experience in various kinds of work including solar installation. I installed a small 12V,200Ah Batt, 2400W solar system on my van about half a year ago.. it was a one-off project so I have to review my notes for maybe 1 day BUT i'm confident I can help out with solar installation and design.. I also have a bit of experience with mechanical work using power tools or finding hacks to fix vehicles.
I'm no stranger to dirty, rough work: I spent 2 years of my life as a Armor Infantryman in Singapore.
Love nature, travelled and stayed in campsites in my van from South to Northern California for a year after I obtained my Math BS degree from San Diego;
My life revolves around centering and clearing my mind by walking, seated meditation, relaxing and eating. But I look also forward to physical work, particularly lifting items from the ground, designing and implementing utility projects and help out or understand traditional bioconstruction houses (mud, straw, wood, stone etc) and living.
I love observing, resting and sleeping in nature. Yet I have not have much bad experience except for encounters with rattlesnakes at campsites in Northern California.
I would love to know more about the logistics of a self-sustaining homestead/community/cooperative and perhaps transfer such knowledge to reduce hunger and inequality globally.
TLDR/SUMMARY: i'm just looking for a place to work 4-5 hours physically everyday but maybe learn more skills but also do my personal projects thereafter with some privacy and quiet place to rest.Interests

Can't really say something about skills as time was too short. But Tay is welcome to stay for longer and also get more into the work.
As described in description, had to work 2hours a day digging sand for Roger to build his mud house. The work is autonomous and can be accounted through text. Most of the times, there will be a playful and lovely dog to accompany you.
I stayed in his former house and also bought my own food to cook and he was generous to… read more
