More details about your skills

Lots of experience in the garden. I also lived in the Amazon jungle, where flexibility is crucial.
I'm one of the managers at a meditation retreat, so also plenty of experience having to deal with maintenance projects.

I've studied lots of theories of permaculture independently. Also family in Mexico that works with dry toilets, so familiar with that.

What else ...

Studied film production in university and am looking into doing a master's degree in documentary film production.
I have a background in acting and writing.
I'm always interested in eco projects. That is why I joined this community - to finally get more hands-on experience. I also love connecting with other positive people involved with community projects and eco-projects.
I'm kind of a mix between a talker and a quiet person. I have no problem talking but am also totally fine just being off on my own.
