  • 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.

    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!
