Descripción

- Currently not looking for Hosts :) -

My name is Nash (due to ID verification my profile name still contains Nils - sorry for any possible confusion), I am 24 years old and I am from a rural region in Northern Germany. I want to share and gain experiences while visiting different countries and getting to know new people and their cultures.
I am a very outdoorsy person who loves plants and nature and have high interest in botany, farming and herbal medicine. In general, I am a very open minded and friendly person even if I seem a bit reserved in the beginning - I will open up pretty quickly though. In addition, I am always willig to help and get my hands dirty and can work well in the team but also independently.
In my free time I really like to be creative, go swimming, go for a walk/hike in nature, gather plants to make teas/tinctures/salves or just hang out with my friends.

Here are some information on my work experience:

- After graduating from high school in 2019 I travelled to Canada for a year working mainly on an 20 acre organic farm on Vancouver Island. On this farm I gained first experiences in gardening, farming and animal care while taking care of a variety of animals (chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, pigs and sheep) and big gardens and food forests.
- During my time in Canada I also spent roughly three months living with a family and taking care of the two kids (they were 4 and 6 years old at the time).
- Coming back to Germany after my gap year I have been working in retail for a year. In my free time I have deepened my gardening skills and gained some experience in beekeeping.
- In 2021 I started a three year apprenticeship in plant breeding which successfully finished in June 2024. At work I am specialized in the breeding of spring oilseed rape (canola) and turf grasses but also work on different projects regarding biodiversity and catch crops and in seed technology / research. Therefore I am skilled in the cultivation of plants for experimental and multiplication purposes.
- I spent another four months at the company deepening my skill and supervising different projects in biodiversity and data collection.
- Furthermore I finished two online courses in herbal medicine. Here I learned about the uses, forms and dosages of plants as a form of therapy and gained basic knowledge of the constituents of different plants and how they work in the body.
- Currently I am working as a gardener for annual and perennial plants, lettuce and some forestry plants in a greenhouse in Iceland.
- Over the summer I am also helping out as a waiter and dishwasher in a little Café/ restaurant.


I am really looking forward to get to know you and being able to gain lots of new experiences, developing new and deepening existing skills.
Send me a message if you have any questions :)

Cheers
Nash :)

As stated above I am also skilled in plant breeding and the cultivation of plants for experimental and multiplication purposes, as well as basic herbal medicine.
