Description
I am an easy-going person who has no problems with learning new things. In particular I have been doing a little practice in Permaculture at home in Indonesia and I am keen to gain more experience by helping Workaway Hosts achieve their Permaculture or Organic gardening goals.
I am an adventurous nomadic person who loves to travel with the focus at the moment on hiking and camping in Europe, Balkans and the Caucasus this being a continuation of the previous 2 year’s multi-day hiking and camping trips in Eastern Europe, Turkey and the Caucasus. Completing hikes such as the 500km+ Lycian Way, in Turkey and the 440km Via Egnatia from Greece to Albania and in Switzerland. In 2022, 1200km through Georgia and Armenia. 2023, 500kms through the Bosnia and Montenegrin mountains
I am also running my own https://thebackpackinghiker.com blog which has been a steep learning curve technology wise, but interesting as well.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have completed projects such as helping in a long term property renovations and construction, including gardens or even house sitting. I am a very self motivated person who has run my own businesses, operated heavy machinery and large complicated plants in the mining industry, I have also been a Supervisor/trainer in the mining industry in different countries, plus I have done basic renovations of my own rental properties painting and repairs, gardening.
Started to learn the principles of permaculture and put in some practice in Indonesia. A lot more to learn, I know how to grow Dragon fruit.
I have completed a Workaway on a Permaculture/Bio Dynamic farm where I operated a Excavator and developed terraces and swales on a hillside. (See photos).
In Switzerland I completed 11 months working for food and accommodation, a private setup not through Workaway. The work involved was gardening i.e. weeding, building terraces, constructing fences, removing trees, digging gardens. House renovation i.e. Eco friendly using a number of different materials in internal wall construction, cement plastering, milk carton insulation etc.
Another Workaway in Switzerland was maintenance and basic construction projects for a Host, 4 months.
During my time off i do indoor and outdoor rock climbing, glacier trekking and camping, skiing, snowshoeing, kayaking, igloo and snow cave building, multiday hiking, camping expeditions. Plus building my online Life Coaching business.

Autres infos...
I can be your Life Coach and help you develop the life you desire. I love to help people achieve their dreams. Being a dream chaser myself, I know the importance of having a goal to work to, a dream to turn into a reality. We all go through periods in life where it just seems impossible to achieve them. It is nice to have someone who can inspire you to keep going.
I have considerable experience in travelling, small businesses, developing personal goals and life skills. I can help you overcome your fears of travel or to make progress on achieving your goals, personal growth or just staying motivated.
