Description

Hello! I’m Avril from NZ but have spent the last 8 years living in Mexico. 

I am going through a process of transition in my life and am excited to connect with people, explore new lifestyles, reflect on new parts of myself and would love to do this through Workaways in different parts of the world.

Taking care of my body and mind is very important to me and I do this through my nutrition, movement, what information I put into my brain, spending time in nature and being around people and projects that inspire me.

I love to learn the language of the places I visit and appreciate learning more about your lifestyle and way of living. I am a foodie at heart and am fascinated by anything related to growing, cooking and of course eating and sharing delicious meals with others. I do believe its one of the greatest pleasures in life and am always fascinated by how intertwined food and culture are.

I am currently in Europe for a few months and plan to concentrate my time in Germany, Turkey and Georgia with the plan of going deep rather than wide with my travel.

I would love to meet you, learn from you and support you with your projects!

What else ...

-Food is a big passion of mine. I love learning about new ingredients, exploring new ways of cooking them and sharing meals with people.
-Personal growth and transformation through learning about ourselves more and taking time to reflect are important to me and topics I read and investigate about constantly.
-I would love to learn more about living a self-sufficient lifestyle, alternative ways of building and looking after animals. I plan to work on developing a self-sufficient lifestyle of a small plot of land in the future and would love to learn from people who have knowledge in this area.
