Description

Hi, Hello, Hola, Ola!

My name is Farhana. I began this trip in Candeleda, Spain after spending one month at Dhamma Sacca, a Vipassana meditation centre. I initially sat a 10 day course and then served/volunteered after that, mainly in the kitchen. It was a dream come true for me - I love to cook and be part of a community helping others.

If you're looking for an energetic, friendly, hard working, sociable and enthusiastic worker then look no further! I consider myself to be happy and warm hearted & I like to collaborate with others on projects but can easily work under direction or lead a group.

I absolutely adore children so would happily help look after any little ones that may need taking care of.

For me, the purpose of this journey is to experience different ways of living, especially being self-sufficient and sustainable. My goal is to make a difference, however that may look, and I love the idea of someday living in a commune.

I am open to getting my hands stuck into anything and would love to learn as many new skills as possible.

My likes & hobbies include being by the sea, being in nature, camping, cooking (outdoors especially), reading (mostly self-improvement & non-fiction books, often more than one at a time with one fiction book thrown into the mix meaning I take a minimum of 3 months to finish any of them...), swimming/yoga/cycling, psychology and human behaviour (with a sprinkle of astrology). One hobby I'd love to restart is drawing and to continue fermenting more foods (I make kimchi at home). Most recently I've started outdoor climbing/more bouldering and absolutely love it. I am a terrible surfer, but ever eager to improve.

At home in Brighton, UK work as an oncology pharmacist but I am taking a career break to workaway and explore.
