Hey, I'm Niels
I grew up in a mountain valley in Switzerland, where I also made my apprenticeship as professional painter and plasterer. Over the years, I found my passion to work with natural materials, such as lime or adobe where i also do a lot of research and writings. In my free time i was active in the fire fighter brigade and water rescue but i enjoyed also to do webdesign.
From 2015 to 2018 I worked continuously around the world, payed as painter/plasterer but as well as often voluntarly on eco-camps. In March 2023 i've made my basic-training as a loam and adobe professional in Germany. However, on construction and in life, its a lifelong learning and i like to explore things a lot. From November 2023 to July 2024 I was in South America, where I worked on various natural construction projects. Since July 2024 I am in Switzerland.
I am always interested in culture, social backgrounds and history of a place and like to meet new people
