  • Description

    I'm an engineer who doesn't want to sit in an office all day anymore. I felt that now, at age 27, is a good time to do something different with my life. Travelling has always been a great passion of mine, but I still want to use my time in a meaningful way, so instead of lying on a beach all day, I want to give something back to the country and people I visit. I love making new connections and meeting people all over the world. But I also enjoy time to myself with a good book or film.

  • More details about your skills

    I did an apprenticeship as a polymecanic and then studied mechanical engineering and worked in the field for two years. I am interested in all kinds of technical principles, from engines and machines to robotics and electronics.
    I love working with my hands and don't mind getting them dirty. I helped build a tree house a few years ago and am always up for a DIY project.
    I worked in a daycare centre for almost a year and got on well with children aged 1-7 and always enjoyed playing with them. During my civilian service i also worked with mentally disordered youths and took care of the therapy horses.

  • What else ...

    I am always keen for for a board or card game and love to learn new ones. One of my hobbies is flying drones and model planes and I love to ride a longboard. If there is a chance I would like to learn how to surf. I prefer nature to a big city and like to take long walks and hikes to enjoy the scenery.
