Description
Hi, I’m Karel!
I’m from Belgium and these days I’m based in Stockholm, where I work as a carpenter and furniture maker. I ended up in Sweden after a few very inspiring Workaway experiences where I met my wife and decided to stay. Here we are, already about 8 years later, and getting hungry for a next adventure.
I enjoy practical, hands-on work—whether it’s building, repairing, gardening or woodwork. I’m happiest when I can be useful, learn something new, and share skills along the way. With a background in both design and woodworking, I love creating things that are functional and beautiful, but I also enjoy the simplicity of everyday tasks like chopping wood or helping out in the kitchen. Obviously it would be fun to help out with any languages that you might need help with. I feel pretty comfortable with Swedish and my native language Flemish (Belgian Dutch).
Personality-wise, I’m calm and easygoing, always up for an interesting conversation or to share ideas. I value authenticity, nature, and meeting people from different cultures. Traveling is for me not just about moving around, but about exchanging experiences and learning from others.
This time around, I’d love to learn more about eco-projects, running your own off-grid farm or living out in the nature as I'm planning to get started on a project of my own.
If you think I could be a good fit for your project, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat or video call.
Looking forward to meeting you :)
Cheers,
Karel

Flemish (dutch) is my native language and I've been learning Swedish for the past 7 years. Finished the national language program for foreigners and continued practicing at work with my Swedish colleagues. So could definitely help out with one of the two!
