Description

I'm a pretty open an communicative person who loves to be creative, make music, do sports (Football Skateboarding many others) and loves to learn and explore about new cultures people. I love to be with firends and love exploring and trying out new things and traveling. If I want to achieve something I'm willing to put a lot of effort into getting it.
I have been traveling a lot with my family and we did many outdoor trips that involved canoeing of hinking and sleeping in a tent. I also traveled Europe by train with my girlfirend who is from Spain. I learned a lot about my other cultures as well as about myself during my travles which was an amazing experience for me.
I'd describe myself as a very active person that needs to have something to do and to figure out. Therefore Skateboarding is the perfect sport for me. You need to be concentrated at all times and there are endless challenges and new tricks to learn, so it never gets boring. I also am part of a collective that builts and maintains a skatebaording gym in my hometown (https://www.instagram.com/skatehallemeissen/). I think treating each other with respect and honesty is the key to any type of relationship.
I like to be around and get to know people, and think I'm a very easy going person. That doesn't need anything special (like food or accomodation). I'm happy with what people give me and hope I can give something back.

More details about your skills

Since we have a big gargen at home and grow our own potatoes onions and carrots among other vegetables and many fruits, I'm good at (have some experience with) seedinng harvesting and taking care of the plants as well as preparing the soil for planting. In the summers lots of times I collected fruits from our garden and made marmelades, moreover I also really enjoy cooking especially with self grown products. This summer I worked for three weeks as a chef's assistant in Switzerland and I'm part of a family of five so cooking for multiple people would not be a problem for me. I have also helped wit quite some construction work on the house and the Skateboarding gym I mentioned in my description, so I'm familiar with making concrete or smaller wood constructions for instance.
Otherwise one of my biggest strenghts are communication, learning new things fast and finding creative solutions for issues of all kind.
I have some experience with gardening with plants that grow in middle Europe, however I would be very intersted in the maintainance, growing, and harvesting process of tropical friuts such as Coffee, Cocoa or Bananas and would love learn about those and help taking care of the plants.
