Description

I am from Russia, but since March 2022 I lived in Türkiye (mostly in Izmir). I came to Brazil in June 2024 to participate in the program Guerreiros Sem Armas (GSA, Warriors without weapons) dedicated to social transformation and community development. It was an unforgettable experience that gave me lots of gifts, including new friends.

After GSA I stayed in Brazil and volunteered for a month at the farm, and discovered that this is the best way for cultural exchange and learning about the things I was always interested in: organic food production and sustainable agriculture, bio construction and ecological housing, local nature and culture, outdoor education and so many more.

My current aim is to explore the initiatives, projects and communities that are searching and creating different forms of living based on solidarity with nature and people. I learn from these cases a lot because I want to find my way to live friendly with nature. I see it as a way to contribute to building a more peaceful and joyful world. And I am happy that there is Workaway, which opened me a new incredible world of places, people, activities and initiatives to explore. I want to travel in Brazil and South America as a volunteer, to learn more new things and to meet amazing people!
