Hello :)
My name is Thomas from the Netherlands. I'll be traveling in Portugal for the coming time and looking for interesting projects to work on.
In the last few years I already worked on several nice projects mostly in Portugal in land cultivation, agroforestry, (eco) tourism, gardening and goat farms. Now I am up for anything, but in particular interested in permaculture, off grid living, construction and creative projects. Permaculture really caught my interest and I would be happy to learn and grow more. I'm also keen to gain more skills in DIY building, carpentry, construction and working with machines (ideally by helping out on a project from someone who has some skills in this). Also any opportunity with horses involved I would gladly take. I have experience in horse care, but would like to learn more about horses and eventually ride. I am also open for longer term volunteering in the right place and time.
About me: I am a great lover of nature, animals and the outdoors and want to spend most of my time outside and live with the flows of nature. I try to live in a low impact manner, sustainable and ecological conscious. I travel slow and basic with my backpack. I like to walk long distance trails and have done quite a few in Europe and New Zealand. I'm interested in nature and the human psyche, languages, philosophy, food and cuisine. I hold a bsc. in Consumer Behaviour and Marketing.
I see myself as an enthousiastic, calm, reliable and open minded person, and always willing to learn new things. For me, working in a relaxed manner with a motivated attitude and having fun is important.

Que habilidades tienes?
I am no professional in anything (!) but...I gained several skills during my previous Workaway experiences:
- Working with forestry and gardening equipment and tools (such as chainsaw, sawmill, axe, drill, shredder, strimmer).
- Basic knowledge of permaculture, planting and gardening (soil cultivation and growing plants, pruning and weeding, olive harvesting, compost techniques)
- (Very) basic construction (building a dog kennel, installing fences, sanding and painting, some simple work with wood, making cement and bricklaying & making stone terrace walls)
- Tourism (serving guests, preparing food and cooking, cleaning, allround camping work)
- Animal care (goatherding, feeding and milking, experience with dogs & caring for horses)
- Teaching (for many years I have been privately tutoring primary and high school students in many courses, including English).Edad
