Description
We are an Austrian-Brazilian couple interested in learing about regenerative agriculture and agroforestry systems for improving climate change resilience, biodiversity and efficient resource management. So far we came as close as managing our plants at home, visiting farms, doing lots of research and taking courses in ecosystem restoration. With new experiences and skills learned from them we are planning on developing a startup targeted to help farmers in transitioning from conventional to more sustainable ways of farming.

We are open-minded people trying to get to know as many ways of handling land and lifestyles as possible with the thought in the back of our minds to one day live a more remote and peaceful life within nature as well.

We are looking foreword to meeting many of you on our way! Don't hesitate to contact us :)

Rahul is a great host! He and his family are so generous, they provided me every day with home cooked delicious food and even showed me how to make some Indian meals. Rahul took me to some of his appointments and I often had the opportunity to attend visits of relatives and friends. Some times I walked through the city by myself, exploring the… read more

This is an incredible organization, really trying to make a difference by improving how locals are dealing with their municipal waste problem. They’re not just organizing weekly cleanups, where we could help the team by picking up trash in certain areas, but are also trying to raise environmental awareness. We had a lot of spare time in which we… read more

Our time at Tushar’s was an incredible experience. We lived in an organic hut on his farmland and for breakfast, lunch and dinner we would join his family at his parents house where his wife and his mother would always cook different authentic indian meals, which we couldn’t get enough of. Sometimes we went to Pali, which is the biggest city near… read more

Another workawayer we really had good time with ! Danila is someone very curious and who is eager to learn as much as possible from others. In the garden, she was always doing her best and in a good mood despite the rainy weather. Thank you for everything

For my first Workaway experience I couldn’t have hoped for nicer, more humorous and more open-minded people!!

Louisa and Julien showed and explained to me, how they decided to live and why they are living the way they do, growing their own food, and living less wasteful and we had a lot of very interesting and deep talks about it. We always… read more
