  Description

  Hi there!! I am Techi. ☺️ after many years living abroad, I moved back to my home country, Uruguay, and slowly started reconnecting back to the Earth, through permaculture, community, growing my own food, natural building, regenerating the soil, and just a holistically coherent way of living in harmony with myself, my body, nature, and other living beings. For me it has also been a journey of freedom, independence, and sovereignty. For many years I dreamt of building my own house, as the last piece of this great puzzle of love, freedom and healing that I had been creating. After some years of exploring around I finally got to this amazing land in the middle of the native forest, by the ocean, in a place called Ocean Park, Maldonado, Uruguay, and I’m making my house dream come true.
