Description
Hello, My name is Michael,
I'm an introspective, deep, caring person who is searching for meaningful experiences. I take care of my body and I eat pretty healthily and cleanly (Except for the occasional chocolate..). I am more of a 'calm morning with a cup of tea' person, rather than a 'late night flaming zambuka' kind of guy. Music, meditation and nature are what life is about.
Right now, I really want to learn more about organic farming, natural building, permaculture, and medicinal plants. As well as learning more about yoga, and deepening my meditation practice.
From my previous work experience in rural locations in Australia and New Zealand (and from past volunteering) I have skills/experience in:
- Garden maintenance (weeding,
mowing, strimming, hedge
trimming)
- Tractor driving
- Chopping/stacking logs
- Fruit picking/pruning
- Landscape gardening
- Building/Mixing cement
- Painting
I have martial arts experience (Muay Thai) and I dabble at the guitar and music production in my free time. I've also recently started practicing yoga and would love to improve.
Thanks for taking the time to read this

Jon & Evelyn are kind, warm hearted people and it was an absolute joy to spend time helping out on their property
Their permaculture farm is beautiful. It is far enough from Pukekohe to feel very rural, but close enough for easy trips to the shops. There is an abundance of animals on the farm, ranging from dogs… read more
I spent 2 weeks at the institute here in Latacunga. Everybody who works here is incredibly lovely and will make you feel very comfortable and at home. The work itself is pretty laid back and its generally 20-30 mins of talking per student, for 3-4 hours per day. The institute is in a nice location and the rooms… read more
