  • Descrição

    Hello!

    My name is Henryk, I'm from Poland.

    Travelling and helping the others is the way I live my life now.
    Working in carpentry, renovation, building or gardening, crafting things that could last for a long time and come to a great use for you. Taking care of the animals or doing housekeeping if needed. Sharing knowledge and skills. Admiring nature around, learning lokal history and traditions. Enjoying the time we spend together... that's what I will bring with me while staying at your place :)

    About my traveling:
    My son as a child used to love stories that I told him (sometimes funny things, like the story about a little brave boy facing all sorts of danger he came across)... and as before... being 20 years old... he still wants to listen to them :) OK... maybe not exactly, he is a grown up now. But I think, that the best ideas for all stories come from real adventures in life.

    In the short video I attached to my profile you can see me eating a boletus mushroom and praising its taste and smell. That was during one of my excursions (Czech Republic - 2018). My son made the video.

    My volunteer jobs till now:

    Carpentry:
    I built a new wooden wall and the door and the handrail by the front porch of the house, 2 meter high cupboard for the kitchen, wardrobe, outdoor benches, chairs and tables, a new storage unit for tools, crafting table, new gates and wood shelter. I built recently a huge wardrobe room for brides in a wedding centre and a big storage room in a greenhouse. I build my first top bar beehive.

    Building:
    I took part in building a round strawbale house, I worked with wood and clay. I built a long brick wall, with a ferro-concrete frame. I did plastering and painting. I crafted a bamboo construction for tomato plants and some lattices by the house for roses. I have a lot of experience in reparing old and building new fences. I repaired roofs, I put new chimney, I built terraced gardens and stone walls. I built new stone pathes, l put nice green lawn in front of the house. I made some rain ditches on the road.

    Renovation:
    I renovated almost entire house (taking down the walls, rearranging the rooms space, painting, flooring, fixing new shelves and doors, renovating bathroom, installing new shower cabin and the toilet... etc...). I renovated 20 chairs by putting new furniture upholstery. I put wallpapers, painted walls and ceilings, assembled furniture.

    Animal care:
    For over half a year I helped with milking and feeding cows.
    I fed reindeer, horses and chickens.

    Gardening and forest jobs:
    Picking berries and mushrooms.
    Harvesting all sorts of vegetables.
    Cutting bushes, putting new turf around the house. Cutting grass with a lawn mower. I prepared 50 pits for planting new trees, I harvested olives and quints.
    I have been sowing, planting, weeding, mulching, pruning, harvesting and preserving a lot.
    I raked leaves, shoveled snow from the roads, cleared the forest by cutting down the trees. I replanted hundreds of gynostemum plants for the decoration of a big wedding centre.

    Different jobs:
    Years ago I had rope access work experiences e.g. I worked for forest inspectorate collecting fir cones in the early winter.
    Some experience in taking care of the guesthouse (preparing apartments for guests, cleaning and doing laundry) and the tourists (greeting, checking in and out, guiding and showing the farm).
    For over 4 years I used to work as a waiter in the UK and in Poland.
    In Iceland I worked in a greenhouse for a year taking care of tomatoes and cucumbers. In Switzerland I helped with repairing a car: metalwork, painting,, putting grease.

    I fell in love with permaculture, selfsufficiency and sustainability as a good and healthy approach to life.

    I'd be delighted if we could learn from each other... not only our languages but also other valuable things.
    By the way... I'd like to try also something else... something new that I've never done before.

  • Algo mais...

    After eight years of working in a big corporation (polish insurer) I decided to change my life completely :)
    I started my adventure in December 2018 and for the next several years I would like to travel a lot. After visiting many places already I'd like to see another amazing country next.
    Some time ago I discovered meditation and it became a very important practice on my way to awareness, peace of mind, balance and strong feeling of love to everything that surrounds us. That is why I'd like to stay vegetarian if possible. I learn about Buddhism and I feel it is my own understanding of the world.
    I love reading, hiking in the mountains, swimming, sunbathing, playing boarding games, riding a bike, meditating, doing Yoga and discussing with open minded people.
