  • Descrição

    I like to build, fix, and repair things. I have some skills and am very keen to learn new ones, either from a host or together *with* a host. :)

    I am traveling for the purpose of experiencing new cultures, forging new relationships, lending a hand with people's ecological projects, and deepening my skills.

    The work isn't just a means to a free place to sleep for me - the work is part of why I'm here. I'm not really on holiday: this is part of my life.

    Some of my recent builds: a 5kW 1000Ah 24v offgrid solar system upgrade for a neighbor (design and build), a tiny house studio for myself, a shade structure made from salvaged solar panels and tracker racks, offgrid solar system for our family well pump (600W, 300Ah, 12v, with a 5kW/10kW 240v modified sine wave inverter).

    Last summer while Workawaying I rebuilt an aquaponics system on a permaculture project in Scotland, installed the PV system in a van in France, made mud bricks in Morocco, and built a solar thermal panel in Portugal.

    I also just recently hosted a friend here on my own land for a month, so I have a bit of empathy for the hosting role.

  • Quais são suas habilidades?

    I grew up off-grid in the desert, helping my family develop the land and build our house. In the last few years I converted a cargo trailer into a travel trailer, and 80% converted a shipping container into a studio. I know framing, basic electrical and plumbing, basic foundation earthworks and formwork, installing windows and doors, off-grid PV solar system design and installation, how to dig trenches and other purposeful holes in the ground, etc.

    I’m generally good with computers (for someone who isn’t a programmer/developer) and can do 3d modeling of, for example, a project you have in mind, build spreadsheets, and do other general graphical work with free software.

    I’m comfortable living in alternative arrangements: tents, vans, vehicles, converted metal boxes of various sorts, tipis, etc. At this point, normal houses feel a little odd to me.
