  • Description

    I'm taking a sabbatical after running my own construction business for the last 5 years.
    I've found myself dreaming about owning a small holding in Europe and so I've decided to set out and meet some people who are already living my dream.

    I love to be outside, working with my hands. Whether that be building something or working with plants. When I'm not working I enjoy exploring in nature, surfing or lying in the sun reading. I'm also a keen metal detectorist.

    Many years ago i did a degree in art at Brighton uni, during which i specialised in ceramics and sculpture. I still like to create when the opportunity presents itself.

    I'd consider myself a relaxed guy who makes friends easily, and is more than happy to get involved and do my fair share, whether that be preparing meals or digging a well :)

    Recent projects undertaken for hosts :
    Construction of a composting toilet.
    Building steps for a yurt.
    Digging of an aqueduct and swimming pond/pool
