Descripción
Hi, I’m Stefan and I’m traveling and working in France to experience communities and engage in different projects.

My first apprenticeship was as blacksmith, followed by engineering technician and over the years I worked in lots of different building related trades and crafts.
I restored historic buildings with traditional techniques for the regional heritage conservation. Roofing with natural slate, carpentry, replicas of metal hardware on doors and gates, restoration and new build mud, stone and brick walls as well as final rendering with lime.
I have also some experience in plumbing and electric installations.

I had a farm for 7 years and kept goats, pigs, horses and a Jersey cow, so I’m familiar with taking care of animals and general farm works.

From my jobs over the last years I’m routined in forest works, clearings, landscaping and firewood production.

I spent many years volunteering and practicing in meditation retreats in Australia, the US, Europe and India. I still practice regularly yoga and meditation.

I love baking and cooking, so I’m sure I can contribute in this areas to community happiness too.

In 2021 I would like to contribute to projects in France, despite I’m still struggling with the language I like the country, its culture and food.

It’s really time to improve my French beyond the beginner level.

I’m really excited about the experiences I gained through my workaway jobs and travels. I met amazing people and learned to adapt my skills to different contexts, from absolute improvisations to big budgets. This has become a way of life and I’m looking forward to new adventures and challenges.

I stayed for two weeks with Paula in Lisbon and it was a great Portuguese experience.
I had to bike with me and I liked exploring the city while commuting between Paula’s old and her new home with the yoga studio and her atelier.
I renewed the electric installation in the new place from scratch and did renovations, fixing doors and did some… read more

I stayed nearly 4 weeks at Barbara’s and Dieter’s retreat center and I totally loved my time there. Dénia has 300+ sunny days and working outside is a pleasure. The jobs were all interesting with a wide variety. And with the visitors bike I was in a few minutes at the beach or in town. Infrastructure is great, I liked my room, the workshop and the… read more

It was great to have Stefan as a volunteer. Stefan has a lot of experience on different levels. During his stay at ours he helped us building a rammed earth house. He is very fit and kept working with great positive attitude. So much earth has been shifted!
Besides that he was very tidy, respected our privacy and above all a great company to have… read more

I loved staying and working at Rick and Sanne’s place in December and January. They are both very experienced in volunteering and provide a fantastic integration into family and social environment with all the friends and neighbors.
Rick’s style of work is great to gear into and to contribute. Enough structure to continuously move the building… read more
