Description

Hello there!
My name is Alex and I want to work Away:)

A little bit about myself
So my name is Alex, I'm 40, I live and work in Arnhem, in the east of the Netherlands.
I live together with my two best friends in an old house from +-1900 which we are constantly renovating.
We don't have a garden, but we do have a nice big roof terrace which we are trying to make as green as we can with flowers and herbs.
I work in a local organic food shop, so i'm used to pshysical work.
In my spare time like to go to the nearby park or forest.

Volunteering experience
Some things that i've done while volunteering or in my own home and garden are listed below.
Of course i am by no means a professional.
Don't hesitate to ask if you'd like more information.

What i'd like to learn while Workawaying:
Most important:
I'd like to learn more about sustainable ways of living and see how other people live and work together.
..And in the process hopefully meet nice people:)

More specific, i like gardening like to learn more about it.
How to grow and pair vegetables, herbs, flowers (aromatic or medicinal), how to apply permaculture principles in reality.

Building:
Would like to learn more about building with natural materials

Allergies
And unfortunately indeed: I have food allergies
I am allergic to dairy, so no milk, no yoghurt, no butter, no cheese for me.
I am also allergic to nightshades, so no tomato, no potato, no bell pepper/paprika.

I can imagine that it sounds complicated, but it's really not so bad.
Allergies aside i am pretty flexible with food, i like almost anything and i can help with cooking.
And it doesn't have to be anything "fancy".
If you're in doubt what to feed me, just give me rice and beans or bread and oil and i will be completely content:)

Autres infos...

It's nice to work together and learn from each other!
The most interesting thing for me is to get to know the people and what drives them.
Getting to experience the path that people chose for themselves always inspires me on my own path.
