Activities i am interested in:

I’m currently in Belgium, taking a sabbatical year to slow down and explore new directions in life. I’m especially interested in sustainable living, permaculture, and community projects.

Description

What motivates me most is living with purpose, connection, and authenticity. I enjoy learning from others, working with my hands, and contributing to something that grows — whether it’s a garden, a project, or a community. Being outdoors, creating, and sharing simple, meaningful moments with people and nature brings me happiness.

More details about your skills

I’m a civil engineer by background and worked for about 15 years as an independent contractor, mainly in renovation and construction projects. I’m comfortable with both technical and practical work — from building and repairing structures to organizing and planning projects.

For the past five years, I’ve been teaching, which has strengthened my communication, patience, and teamwork skills. I enjoy combining practical work with learning and sharing knowledge. I’m adaptable, reliable, and happy to help with anything from construction and maintenance to gardening or general support around the land.

What else ...

I love being active outdoors — surfing and volleyball are my favorites. I also enjoy good conversations, sharing moments with others, and discovering new ways of living more simply and consciously. Always up for learning new skills and having fun along the way!
