Description
I am very curious and adventurous person. Like to learn about different culture, ways of life, thoughts, work, food, dance, languages.
Volunteering, hitchhiking, spending time and hanging out with locals is my way to travel.
I am seeking to learn permaculture, making cheese, gardening, self sufficient living, take care of animals, plants, everything from the heart and earth.
I would like to GROW, COOK and SHARE.
15 years working in restaurants in different kitchens in canada, I start my own little food business 4 years ago with tables and tents in farmers markets , now since 1 year I got a food truck in British Columbia. I use to work in hotels and guest houses as housekeeper and cook.
I also volunteered in eco-building (super adobe, wood, clay, straw, etc.), housekeeping, reception, cleaning garden, renovated house, making vermi-composting, keeping and milking goats, make some cheese, pick corn, pick cherries, etc.
I can work in dirt, I love it! Very happy in a kitchen or in a garden.I prefer the nature and lost places.
I enjoy working in hostels too specially if i have to cook. Willing for physical work. open minded and devoted worker, I want to help, to give a hand anywhere, any way I can.
I practice meditation, yoga and spiritually open. I am small but strong, adapt myself to the environment where i stay, following the vibe. I deeply believe that i am here to serve with compassion and love.
