Description
My name is Nilli a 40 year old Icelander and I love to laugh.
And I would love to make you laugh.
I live in a small quiet village on the foothills of Botev peak and for it self it speaks.
I am fixing and bettering the house and outdoor areas, making my own furniture and thingamajig's.
Forager Mushroomer Botanical joys.
There usually is a pot of herbal tea on the stove for everybody's enjoyment.
I am creating a Cosy Health Herb Garden based on permaculture principles, Ideal for meditation and yoga.
A Space to Celebrate Life, Art and Music.
This was a particularly bad tomato year for me, but I don't fret.
I have my chillies and I sing praises to the chilli Gods.
I have a small dj synthesizer studio.
If you are a musician, we can record.
Unfortunately I don't have a 808-909 or 303 but I have a 505 .
The property has many fruit and nut trees and I am always grateful for the extra help in maintaining it.
I like to give people projects they enjoy and fits their skill set, at least mix it up a little so it doesn't get to monotonous.
I value honest communication, expression and humor.
Soon this property with your help will become an Art Residency.
Unfortunately there is a lot of stonework to be done, but if your back is bad there are other projects.
We will make it work.
In Iceland back in the day I worked as a electronic technician installing small and big sound systems, repairing and finding faults, making spaces sound.
Grew up in Reykjavík skateboarding downtown but spent 1/3 of the year on my grandparents farm doing chores and tending to the animals, horsing around, haying and whatnot have been a workawayer myself and have had great experiences, a lot in Peru and south America.
Usually I go to the farmers market once a week to get fresh produce and shop.
I am a foodie and I like to make things from scratch with quality ingredients.
I bake my own sourdough bread, they are always different and surprising.
I am happy to cater to vegetarians but if you are a vegan you have to be the main chef.
All the Best to All of You

Help
I am looking for Enthusiastic and Self sufficient Individuals that can work on their own if need be, preferably around or above 30 years in age.
But if you are a conscientious young adult feel free to get in touch.
Some projects we will work on together.
Work should be fun and enjoyable not a chore, boredom is a choice.
If you have a special skill or preference I probably have a relevant project.
All skills are appreciated here, from weeding to cementing concrete structures.
I really value kitchen skills.
Always Enjoying learning from Fellow Trades Man/Woman and Sharing what I Know about stuff.
The garden always needs some love and care, light garden work to terraforming.
If you are an artist I would love your input to make things more surreal and create something beautiful.
With the above my focus now is on finishing the kitchen downstairs, which is a multi layered process with many steps.

-plumbing
-wiring
-tiling
