My journey into the trades began in a very practical way: I wanted to fix things in my first house—and instead of waiting, I just got started. A neighbor lent me his tools and showed me the basics. That was the moment I realized: It’s not that hard if you just give it a try. Without a partner to help me, without any prior knowledge—just with curiosity and the courage to do it myself. That’s how I renovated my house’s facade, got my chainsaw license, and discovered the joy of doing things myself.

For the past year and a half, I’ve been sharing this knowledge with work-and-travel guests at my forest farm in Sweden, who pitch in and learn here.

I speak fluent German and English, so the course can be held in either language upon request. My farm, which I’ve been building up for nearly two years with the help of friends and guests, is a place for experimentation. It’s not about perfection, but rather about overcoming fears, learning new skills, and experiencing how liberating it is to create something with your own hands. Because that is what I want to share: the confidence to just get started. With patience, practical tips, and the conviction that craftsmanship isn’t magic—but a matter of courage and practice.

Denn das ist es, was ich weitergeben möchte: Das Selbstvertrauen, einfach anzufangen. Mit Geduld, praktischen Tipps und der Überzeugung, dass Handwerk keine Zauberei ist – sondern eine Frage des Muts und der Übung.
