More details about your skills

I collected little experience in gardening, like weeding, mulching, watering, harvesting, planting vegetables and trees. I've worked with concrete and clay (cob), I cleaned stables, painted walls, doors & ceilings. I participated with grinding a sailboat and making soap. I took care of animals (dogs, cats, chickens, goats, donkeys), I can milk donkeys. In Switzerland I absolved an education in taking care of people with disabilities. I have scuba diving certifications reaching the level rescue diver and deep diver.
I've creative skills; I love painting especially marine animals (the picture of the turtle at the wall is painted by me), I'm open and happy for any creative work (: I've some experience in cleaning and cooking.
