Descrição
Hi there! I’m an engineer who loves to create things. I’m on a journey to live a more fulfilling life and explore new experiences. Currently, I’m traveling in Europe to find some answers. I recently quit my job to travel with my van and I’m passionate about discovering new cultures and ways of living. I’m interested in exploring ways to live a more sustainable life and make a positive impact on the world. I’m an open-minded person who enjoys learning new skills and meeting new people.

Recently I launched my website about my journey.

Quais são suas habilidades?
My educational journey led me to specialize in mechatronics, a field that combines mechanical engineering, electronics, and software. Studying and immersing myself in mechatronics not only provided me with a strong theoretical foundation but also honed my practical skills.

The covid pandemic inspired me to embark on my first project, and I decided to plan and build a wood oven using schamotte stone.

In addition, I took on the exciting challenge of planning and building my own self-converted van, a dream I had long pursued. This project was a true test of my problem-solving abilities, project management skills, and creativity. From designing the layout to executing the construction, it required a diverse skill set, including mechanical design, electronics, automation and control systems, and hands-on building skills.

Through these experiences, I've cultivated a passion for turning ideas into reality, whether it's optimizing a mechanical system, crafting a practical woodworking project, creating a website or transforming a vehicle into a functional living space. I thrive on the creativity and innovation that each project demands and am always eager to tackle new challenges.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Mario) para o anfitrião (Welcome on our small family ...)

I spent 5 weeks at this lovely place in Daumazan. I was warmly welcomed by Helen, Tibu, and their three kids Oak, Olive, and Zea. Luckily, I had my home with me (my van), and my parking space was next to the camper trailer where I could connect with water and electricity.

I enjoyed the work on the farm. A typical day started at 9 am. First, we… read more planned what we had to do in the morning. Normally, it began with some harvesting (e.g., salad, carrots, coriander, radish, parsnips, leek, etc.) or planting some vegetables (e.g., garlic). In winter, there was not much to do in the field, so the work was manageable. Only on Fridays and Saturdays, when we prepared food for the Sunday market, was there a lot to do. On Fridays, we received help from volunteers who, in exchange, received fresh vegetables from the field. It was always a pleasure to work with different people and get to know each other. Besides fieldwork, there was also a building project. They bought a tiny house on wheels to get more space, and every child has a room for themselves. The tiny house was not in good shape, so we had to restore many things. We fixed the damaged outside wall, removed all rotten wood and some old furniture, replaced the rotten wood, built shelves and furniture for the living room and the kids’ rooms, and installed a wood oven for heating the trailer. It was a lot of work.

In general, the work didn’t feel like work. There was no intention to make a huge amount of money or harvest in mass and on time. We always had breaks with some nice tea and sometimes cake, and the process was in the foreground, not the result. It was a lovely experience.

Lunch was always delicious, with the best-quality food directly from the field. It was a dream. After lunch, the working day was finished. Mostly, I stayed to help Helen with crafting herbal potions, making cakes, discussing the world, creating music, or playing games with the kids. There was always something to do, and I enjoyed every moment.

Helen and Tibu were lovely hosts. They do their job with lots of passion, and you can see the results. Both are grounded people, and I felt welcomed every moment. Oak, Olive, and Zea are curious kids with lots of energy and creativity in mind. We always had something to laugh about.

Thank you for this amazing time at the farm. I learned a lot and took some good memories from this place. Maybe we'll see each other one day again.

Greetings,
Mario.
