Description
Hi, I'm Thomas - young enough to look for new experiences and old enough to have some of them. I’ve plenty of free time the next years ;) and I want to spend it with voluntary work and nice people. Upgrading my English knowledge and learn new languages is an other goal I follow. I'm well traveled and like other cultures and traditionals. It’s a pleasure to get new contacts.
Update:
I got nice experience with workaway the last eight years, which I spent with hosts in the US, Malta, Switzerland, Germany, Mexiko, Central and South Amerika, France, Portugal, Spain,Turkey or Malaysia. So I did a lot of woodwork with repurpose materials - exciting and creative ideas. The projects were so different - a sauna with a SPA, a hobbit house, restoration of doors and furniture in old houses and a castle, a kitchen and so on .... and I got just like that experiences to work in hostels, in gardens and fields and with tourists. I love to continue it... ;).
PS: You find more projects I did in the last years on Instagram #uproot-travelandwork.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I like every kind of handiwork - specifically building, woodwork, farming, gardening... but also to work with tourist perhaps as an hiking guide or to teach/share or pass different kind of skills. I'm a retired snowboard instructor and trainer. Believe it or not, I like basically housework and do it well, because I had some years a holiday flat in my house.

He showed up to be very high experienced in carpenting, and my goats now have a castle with their own sign on the roof. He also made very nice furnitures from old things at the farm. Thomas was also very well known with mushrooms
