Description

Hello beautiful volunteer seekers,

I'm a 54 year old British woman that is currently in Brazil.

I have a huge zest for life and learning and I look forward to hearing about your volunteering needs.

I am great with hand tools and power tools, I have some good woodworking, painting and decorating skills. I'm a spoon-carver and a willow basket-weaver.

I'm pretty good with computers, social media. I'm an excellent cleaner and housekeeper... I'm also great with animals, fruit, veg picking, gardening, landscaping. I enjoy being connected to the Earth. I love getting stuck-in and dirty.

I love children - mud pies, papier-mâché castles, hide ‘n seek, reading, songs - I know a thing or two about child’s play 😊

I'm methodical, detail orientated, motivated and pro-active... Basically, you could put me to work anywhere and I'll be happy to help wherever I can :)

I'm a hard-worker that's strong, reliable, easy-going but respectful... I'm a gentle soul that's looking for new connections, friends and experiences.

I love the arts - music, literature, fine art and architecture, theatre, film and languages of course...

I'm happy, positive and up-beat, I'm a spiritual, down-to-earth, relaxed, and an easy to talk to kind of person... I have travelled all over the world, and I love nothing more than to share travel stories and anecdotes.

I have hopes and dreams of building my own beautiful cob house one day, and living in harmony with Mother Nature. I am interested in learning as much as I can about natural building, permaculture, organic farming, and living an eco-sustainable life.

***I am currently waiting for a hip operation - I have osteoarthritis in my left hip - this does absolutely affect me at the moment - my mobility isn't the best, I don't let it interfere with me doing what I love, and I hope it won't deter you from reaching out for help.

Please reach out if you think I might be a good fit for you.

Much love,
Carla x
