Description
Hi! I'm Joana, 26, and I'm happiest when I'm outside interacting with nature and getting to know people in a meaningful way. Being creative in different ways is a big part of who I am - I love expressing myself through music, drawing, writing, videography and movement, like acroyoga and dancing :)
I have a passion for biology and ecology, especially when it comes to holistic agricultural practices like permaculture and agroforestry, but ecosystem restoration, natural building and overall nature-driven practices really interest me!
I love to spend time with pets and children. I deeply value a sense of community and authentic connection, and I love to hear new stories and share my own. Making friends makes me really happy!
I studied both fine-arts and biology/ecology, worked for 1 year at an urban farming NGO in Lisbon, and am now a Portuguese teacher working remotely. I am more than happy to share my knowledge, and I'm excited to expand my skills as I volunteer!
I enjoy time alone very much, just like I enjoy being social :) I'm a pretty fast learner, good communicator and independent when/if the task calls for it.
