The following is my old single account description from 2022. An update with a description together with Daniel will follow soon.
------
Since the beginning of 2020 I am on an inner journey to myself and in constant change, constantly questioning everything that feels too normal to us. Whenever I try to write down a description of myself, it's already outdated, as my mind has moved forward again. The only absolute terms I always felt very close to are: 1) the meaning of my first name, Irina, which is the bringer of peace, and 2) my zodiac, Libra, always seeking to establish harmony and a good balance. While I don't consider myself very spiritual but rather just a relaxed in-the-moment person, I do feel like these two aspects are my duty to humankind. :)
Also since 2020 I have been challanging myself regarding the question, with how little I would still be happy. My current response – also to the question of what a sustainable lifestyle in a city apartment could look like:
– I eat unprocessed food only, I don't prepare meals nor do I cook, I eat each food item as it has grown in nature, I don't use condiments or salt to change the food item's flavour, I don't wash fruit, vegetables, greens. Also, I stopped using plates, bowls, cups, cutlery except a knife and one plate for when I eat meat or fish. My diet does include raw meat, raw fish, raw eggs (with their shell).
– I don't use the refrigerator.
– I wash my hair and body with water only. The only two hygiene products I do still buy are a tooth brush and dental floss.
– For laundry, I use very simple soap alternatives that grow just outside my apartment, no need to buy detergents.
– I sleep on the floor, I sit, work, and eat on the floor. I don't need much furniture.
I have reduced on a lot of convenience (and continue to do so), and have become much happier than before. :)
I want to become as independent from money as possible and live as self-sufficiently as possible, gently and close to nature. After having worked in IT for (too) many years, I now want to learn as much as possible to reach this goal. Therefore, I am particularly interested in projects and communities that have similar goals and where I can help in organic agriculture, particularly livestock or even fishing, or the production of textiles, learn how to weave, and other tasks that are needed in a self-sufficient community. But I am just as happy to support in any other area.
I want to travel and join different projects, communities and people in order to get to know different lifestyles, different ways of thinking, organising and making communal decisions – and for become part of it for as long as it feels good for both sides.
I work as a freelance scientific editor to secure basic costs of living. I might have to work between 10 and 15 hours per week online, but I can mostly adjust to the schedule needed by the host, as the only restricting aspect of my job is the delivery deadline of my clients' orders.

The following is my old single account description from 2022. An update with a description together with Daniel will follow soon. For now it should be said: Unlike me, Daniel enjoys cooking and all things around the kitchen. :)
-----
My dad once said, if he had to describe me in one word, it would be: accurate. No matter what I do, I enjoy doing it thoroughly and accurately. Generally, I enjoy cleaning and bringing structure and order into things. I am usually good at handcraft tasks that don't require too much muscle work. And I pick up new skills quite quickly.
One thing I don't like so much is most things around the kitchen. As I don't cook and I don't use many kitchen appliances, I would prefer not having to do this as a task on a regular basis. I don't mind jumping in and helping out doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen after a meal once in a while if the host has some other urgent tasks to do.

During my first workaway experiences I have been mainly
* harvesting and dehydrating mangoes,
* feeding the chickens,
* helping out in a dog sterilisation clinic,
* setting up a blog website with Wordpress,
* giving lots of love and treats to the rescued dogs on a farm.
In shorter workaway experiences I taught English (for adults) and worked in a hostel where I mainly made sure that the shared spaces were clean everyday and checked the guests in and out.
