    MUSCLES WANTED TO DIG SOME SQUARE METERS,
    TO BE TURNED INTO FERTILE SPOTS FOR VEGETABLES GROWING

    --------------------------------------- ABOUT ME ------------------------------------------

    I like to meet people, share lives, get to know other cultures.
    I speak Dutch, English, Spanish, French,
    and I have learnt, ages ago, German and Russian.
    I started to learn Russian again.
    I am a Servas member and volunteer in our local Lets organisation.
    And now I am also a Workaway host.
    I play a little bit the accordeon.
    I went to the Academy of Arts, 'Graphic Design and Illustration'
    I used to dance tango and salsa.
    I was into experimenting in the kitchen, bookbinding, hand made stamps.
    I found a new challenge; making clothes with sewing machine. But I decided it will not be my new hobby.
    Putumayo music, nicely illustrated children books and printmaking.
    Biodanza, bio-energetics.
    Nowadays I am very into traumahealing. I also do the TRE-provider course.
    Interest in body de-armouring.
    I am very found of dogs.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    I live in a small municipality, which is an excellent base from which one can explore
    Brussels (39km), Antwerp (25km), Brugge (90km), Leuven (64km), Gent (42km)
    There is public transport nearby, and I am willing to give you a lift or pick you up
    at the train/bus station in Temse.
    I don't live on the country side, but there are some nice areas of nature in the
    neighbourhood, for walking or cycling.
    AMMA's center is very close.

    PROJECT GARDEN

    - digging some square meters, to fill this with organic material
    - collecting organic material (braches, compost, horse shit, ...)
    - collecting bambo sticks and make new scelet for bird protection
    - making borders around the different flower spaces, berry spaces
    - making a house for hedgehog (too many snales in the veggiegarden)

    I'll be needing some 'muscles' :).
    Still transforming my garden into a permaculture area.
    The soil is rather infertile. So, some digging already had place, and the whole was filled with big, new and old (tree trunks, branches, ...) to fine (grass, flowers, leaves, horse shit, compost, ...) compostable material.
    I would like a few more places to transform to fertile pieces. Those pieces will be between 1 to 3 square meter, and more ore less 50 to 70 cm deep.

    ---------- IMPORTANT ---------------
    Please read the whole profile and send a PERSONAL message.
    I will only reply to people who have read my profile and send a personal mail.
    Copy paste mails will be ignored.
    Let me know if you are contacting more hosts at the same time. I understand you do this. But it gives more
    transparancy when you do communicate this. In the past volunteers applied, I was making arrangements, at the same time they were in contact with other hosts, and decided to go to the other host.
    Tell me in your application letter what your eating habits are. Give me some examples of what you normally eat for
    breakfast, lunch or dinner.



    ---------- THE VOLUNTEER SHOULD ----------
    - be a non smoker
    - like dogs, as I sometimes do host dogs as well
    - have read my profile carefully, AND SEND ME A PERSONAL EMAIL!!
    - have a decent profile him/herself with at least two positieve reviews
    - communicate a fair bit before we commit to your coming, as a good match in
    expectations and what we each have to offer and what we're each looking for,
    is really very important to me.
    - have a good work ethic, and not be too picky on the jobs ('Can't you give me something inside, it's too chilly to work outside' is not really the attitude that I am longing for. I want some help, not to have to argue to get something done)
    - realize he/she is a guest in my house, therefor should accept the house rules without constantly having comments or questioning on the way I live
    - go out on the non working days
    - have an insurance
    - using water and energy in an economic way, especially water! So no 10 minute long showers
    - mention that they have read the whole profile
