Traveling the world and meeting new people is something that has always driven me. After finishing my bachelor degree in fashion business I am super eager to learn more about different cultures and myself! I am a very curious, problem solver and creative person who loves to manage projects. I enjoy working with people as I am social minded, but I can also loose myself completely working alone designing graphics or working in nature!

More details about your skills
My expertise lays in the fashion industry and therefore I know a lot about textiles and production. Next to this I often find myself working on graphic design and drawing. My passion is working towards sustainability in all areas! I used to work for a sustainable denim brand Nudie Jeans, mending and repairing worn jeans for customers. Next to this I also created a strategy for a fashion store to become sustainable.
Like I said, I really enjoy working with my hands in nature. My education has been very creative, carving sculptures out of wood and stone and working in gardens.

During her two-week stay at the farm, Bensimon exemplified the spirit of creativity, dedication, and positivity that we cherish in our volunteers. As an integral part of our team, she undertook a project to paint the aquaponics tubs, transforming them into vibrant pieces of art that not only beautified our farm but also infused it with energy and… read more inspiration.

Bensimon's artistic freedom in designing the tubs was a testament to her creative vision and our trust in her abilities. Her work has not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of our farm but has also become a source of admiration and inspiration for everyone who visits or works with us. The colorful and lively tubs now stand as a lasting legacy of her time here, reflecting both her artistic talent and her ability to bring joy and life to the surroundings.

Beyond her artistic contributions, Bensimon's positive attitude and kind-hearted nature were truly remarkable. Her ability to connect with our family, fellow volunteers, and workers showcased her compassionate spirit and added a unique warmth to our community. Whether working in the morning or relaxing during her breaks, Bensimon's presence was a constant source of positivity.

Bensimon's choice to immerse herself in the local culture, opting to enjoy the delicious meals prepared by Neneng, further exemplified her eagerness to fully engage with the experience here. Her appreciation for the diverse and creative group of volunteers she worked alongside highlighted the communal and collaborative atmosphere that is central to our farm's ethos.

As her first workaway experience, Bensimon has set a high standard for herself and others, leaving an indelible mark on the farm. Her work, attitude, and the friendships she forged here speak volumes of her character and the impact one person can have on a community.

We are immensely grateful for Bensimon's contributions to the farm and are proud to have had her as part of our family.

Bensimon's time at the farm may have been short, but the impact of her work and spirit will be felt for a long time. We wholeheartedly recommend him as a volunteer and look forward to the possibility of welcoming her back in the future to witness the continued growth and evolution of our projects.

Thank you, Bensimon, for bringing your creativity, hard work, and positive energy to this place. You have truly made a difference, and we hope your experience here inspires you in all your future endeavors.
