Hello I'm Sabrina, an enthusiastic, curious and creative woman looking to broaden my horizons while connecting with like-minded people and learning some new skills.
I was born and raised in Ljubljana, Slovenia and have been living in Amsterdam, in The Netherlands for over 20 years.
I have a deep appreciation for nature, sustainability and animals. I also love children. I am a mother of one myself, but he is now old enough to fly out of the nest ;-)
I have good communications and interpersonal skills. I have a hands-on mentality. I work with passion and I like to get things done ;-)
I have lived sort of a holistic lifestyle from my early age. I was always passionate about seeing the world and learning about other cultures, mythology, and cuisine.... I am a very social person, with a warm and friendly attitude. I'm flexible and easy-going.
Photography is my true passion—capturing the beauty of the world through my lens is where I find peace and presence. But what I cherish the most are the simple things as seeing a little flower just growing somewhere along the road, or meaningful moments being in nature and listening to the birds, hugging the trees or watching the dance of the clouds, but also sharing meals and laughter with others, and watching the campfire...stars...
I'm physical and mentally fit. I have done lots of different sports in the past, today I'm less active, but I still bike every day, and I love cycling holidays, moving from one spot to another on your bicycle.
Now that my son is just about to leave home, I would like to enter the next phase of life and do something completely different. I'm seeking to explore the world, step out of my comfort zone, and embrace the adventure of life through Work-Away experiences. At certain point I would like to move to the countryside (my long term dream) , build my own little dwelling or perhaps join someone else, or others who already live that way, or want something similar to me....producing our own food and helping each other to stay as self-sufficient as possible. I would like to minimize my dependence on supermarkets and big corporations as much as possible. I would like to grow my own vegetables and spend most of the day outdoors.
If you're looking for someone who is eager to learn, contribute, and grow through new experiences, I'd love to hear from you.
I would love to help you while i am improving my skills and broaden my knowledge in the following areas:
* Recognizing and learning the use of the medical plants that you can find in the local natural environment
* How to make natural cosmetics and essential oils.
* How to take care of the olive trees (or any other trees), about the process of picking up olives in a traditional way and making olive oil.
* I would like to know more about how to set up and maintain biodynamic/permaculture/electro-culture bio garden. I am interested in all tree versions.
* How to build a house from the natural materials as clay, straw, wood...
* Bee keeping – everything about it
* Learning how to make goat cheese or any other cheeseInterests
