Description
Nature enthusiast, lover of all animals, and tournament chess player among many other skills and interests. Happiest when traveling and meeting new people.

Recently I suffered an injury that disqualified me from my former career. It has since fully healed, but I have a long time to wait until my new schooling program begins in 2026. My wife is also on a work trip until mid-July, so I have a lot of free time.

This will be my first workaway. I understand if some may be cautious of taking on a first timer, so I am very willing to talk on FaceTime or WhatsApp etc.

I’m tall and physically strong with previous construction/renovation experience and eagerness to work outdoors

Currently living in England, open to working away anywhere.

Sabrina and Hannes are wonderful hosts, happy and friendly and easy to talk to. Their property is gorgeous. They take very good care of it and I was happy to help with that.

Sophie and Rikard are excellent people. Very accommodating to me, anything I needed. They cooked lunch and dinner for me every night, which was delicious each time, even made me a bonafi desert pie.

Markus was a gracious host. Friendly; patient; took me into town whenever I needed.

The dogs were wonderful. The work was simple: feed, walk, clean. Especially the dog named Ubbe was a great companion.
