Description
Hi!, My name is Selim, I am an engineer by trade, looking to extend my skills by helping others on new projects. I have worked in many different environments that involves lots of communication on projects with people. I enjoy working with people, especially when building something!. I like to see projects through, and feel very rewarded when it produces something for other people to enjoy. I love to travel and meet new people, I have recently travelled around europe on my own, on a motorbike. I camped and hostel'ed it. It was the best thing ever!, I got to meet people from all walks of life, and help out where i could.
I am very friendly, and enjoy a good sense of humour. I love nature, and want to learn more about working with it. I am from the countryside, and would really enjoy finding projects to help with. If i could work with nature, people and my hands, I think i would be a happy chappie :)
Thankyou for reading.

I have been very lucky with placements across Europe, but I am extremely grateful that Tessa accepted me to come and stay at her wonderful home in Morocco.

Travelling to Sicily by bike was quite a challenge, but when I arrived in the beautiful Taormina, I was welcomed by the wonderful Francesca. She helped me with my bike and bags and I easily settled into the Sicilian lifestyle. Work was well paced and always changing. I enjoyed the new challenges and variety of tasks.

We don't think we ever met anybody as polite and as nice Selim.
His help around the boat was HUGE ! He fitted well with the ever changing team and was a very loved member by all. We truly enjoyed his company and would entrust him with our boat any day.

I have really good memories staying at the Mill and the Village. I am very happy I spent my summer there. At first I wasn't sure what to expect, the place is very niche, and you wouldn't believe it exists. The mill has such a great vibe about it, with the best food, best wine and amazing sunsets, you will find it hard to leave. Jonathan is a… read more
