Les activités qui m'intéressent :
Howzit! I am interested in travelling around our diverse world, spending time in beautiful places swimming, cycling, snorkeling while trying to contribute towards sustainability and eco-living :)
Description
A South African environmentalist/engineer trying to improve electronics repair through research while also travelling as much as possible. I love anything todo with nature and the outdoors, swimming, in particular, is one of my passions. I am currently doing a PhD in Belgium with the topic of "Business models for repair of consumer electronics" and I am here in Australia to do some research about the Australian repair market, and what could be done to improve it with ideas from my work in Belgium. I love repairing devices, so I would be happy to help you with any repairs you have in your house. This is what I primarily did in my one year of full-time workawaying that I did in 2021 (see my references :) I am also happy to help with any projects relating to energy, solar, plumbing and sustainability. I hope to start my own sustainable off-grid farm one day and so I would like to learn all the skills that go into that, including animal care, plant care, farm maintenance etc.
Please note I will be working during the day, either from home or from the University of Melbourne library.Centres d’intérêt
