Description

Hellohello!

I’m Flora, and I’m finally planning my trip to New Zealand as I've wanted for a long time to backpack there. But somehow I ended up falling in love with the very first stop on my trip, Berlin, where I’ve been living and working as a cook for the past nine years.

This summer, I took a break from kitchens to work as a receptionist at a small, very green hostel nestled among fruit trees. I became deeply attached to the garden, watching the trees bloom, bear fruit, and change with the seasons was a quiet joy and a beautiful reminder of how much I value being close to nature. The hostel’s owner has built everything himself, from the walls to the furniture, and his dedication and creativity really inspired me. It reignited a long-standing desire to contribute to hands-on, community-driven projects.

I’m also a passionate forager. Spending time outdoors, learning about plants, and exploring their uses has become an important part of my life. I find real satisfaction in physical, purposeful work, especially when it connects me to the land and to the food we eat.

So after all these years living a busy city life and constanly being reminded of how much wanted to travel around I decided to give that old desire its space to live and breathe. Here I come!

More details about your skills

As a trained cook, I have been working in busy kitchens for the past four years, so aside from cooking I can come up with creative solutions, work hard (both alone and in teams) and learn fast! I am also very good at cleaning and organising...
I also have a bit of experience with gardening and I am pretty good with animals, they usually like me straight away and I love being around and caring for them.
I can drive, even though I don't have a german license, only a brazilian one.
I am a curious and interested person, opened to learning whatever knowledge people have to offer, and also sharing whatever I can, so I'd say that with a bit of guidance I can do pretty much everything.

What else ...

When I am off I like doing little cooking experiments, baking, writing, reading and going out to the nature. Chilling at the park or lake is a must when the weather is nice, usually with some lovely homemade snacks and books. As for body movement I always find it nice to do some yoga, go for walks, cycle or just stretch randomly with some music, always loved playing ball games, board games, cards...

Flora fitted into out household like a glove. She is a lot of fun and a super amazing chef. We had lots of interesting, funny conversations and she brings a calming vibe when she enters a room. When work needs to get done, she knuckles down and completes it happily. She has great work and life ethic. We love flora. ❤️❤️

Flora brought a dose of vibrance with her - she's a warm and empathetic woman and fun to be around. She was a big help with sorting out my garage, cleaning around the house , making cuttings and shifting/organising the nursery into winter mode. Flora is very motivated and keen to help - and she thinks carefully about what she is doing so as to be … read more
