I am planning to open an eco-accommodation for both guests and digital nomads, featuring unique events (social, ecological, traditional craft)

Descripción
2025 UPDATE:
Camper van (but only in France, at the moment)
I’m James, originally from the Central Coast of California (Santa Cruz County, redwood country), currently traveling in Europe.
KEYWORDS
Curious, Practical, Conscientious, Independent, Social, Physically Strong, Reliable
SKILLS
Hands-on experience with landscaping, manual labor, gardening, light construction, and general property maintenance.
Comfortable with structured physical work (digging, clearing, gravel, basic building tasks).
Currently expanding practical skills through:
• 150-hour Shiatsu training (bodywork and anatomy-based practice)
• Introductory timber framing course (Northmen, Latvia – 2026)
• Furniture making workshop (UK – 2026)
I’m interested in developing both practical building skills and embodied, hands-on disciplines. I learn quickly and don’t shy away from repetitive or less glamorous tasks.
PRESENT GOALS
Spend time in grounded, sustainable environments — either family-run, eco-oriented, regenerative, or small community projects.
I’m especially interested in places that combine practical work with thoughtful living. I value learning by doing and gaining real-world perspective.
FUTURE GOALS
Long term, I aim to create a multi-purpose gathering space combining elements of craft, wellness, events, and simple living.
For now, I’m focused on learning from people who are already building meaningful, land-based or community-oriented projects.
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
Tour guiding, sales, independent marketing and research.
A few university studies in Europe in my 20s (Vienna, Budapest, UK)
I’ve worked in family business environments and understand responsibility, structure, and accountability.
ABOUT ME
I’m social and friendly, but also comfortable with solitude. I work well independently and in teams. I appreciate clarity, direct communication, and a calm environment.
While I enjoy thoughtful conversations, I’m also practical and grounded. I take commitments seriously and show up on time — doing things the right way.
Physically strong and in good health — I’m happy doing outdoor or manual tasks.
LIKES
Philosophy, Nature, meaningful work, good food, sauna, wild swimming, music, movement, literature, culture & History, practical skill-building.
I appreciate respectful, purposeful environments.
HOBBIES
Cooking, swimming, hiking, drumming, performance and movement, writing philosophy essays, story-telling
CONCLUSION
I’ve completed several Workaways across the US and Europe and genuinely enjoy the rhythm of contributing to a place while living simply.
I’m dependable, physically capable, and motivated to help.
Happy to support where needed and learn something new.
