Description
I am an energy-rich woman who has a lot of joie de vivre. I am open minded and curious, self-motivated, equipped with hands-on mentality and creativity, have good social skills and most of all I am an easy going, positive thinking woman.
I throughout enjoy being outside (yeaaaah) and especially gardening/farming (permaculture). I have hard-working established two fruit and vegetable "no dig" gardens in Austria and helped on a young permaculture farm in Tanzania, an organic garden for a restaurant in Ghana and an agro ecologically farm. Generally I live environmentally conscious.
I grew up in a big family and have been working in marketing within international companies. Throughout the years I have traveled in various ways and learned, that my most memorable ones are those where I lived with locals.
Logically this leads to volunteering ;-)
I am also experienced in renovating houses, love hiking, kayaking, taking good photos, watching sunsets, ...Interests

More details about your skills
# Gardening/ farming:
One of my beloved private projects was to establish no-dig gardens, following permaculture principles and I have also worked on farms in tropical regions. I know how to dig, saw, water plants and how to plant them (in central europe) so that they help each other.
# Text/ Communication/ Computer/ Administration:
I have been working in marketing, where I did a lot of copy writing for mailings, websites, folders, flyers, organized events and have supervised and timed various projects. Of course I am experienced with computers = word, spreadsheets and Adobe Lightroom (photos)
#Kids:
I can help kids with their homework and also taught mathematics/reading/writing at a kindergarten/elementary school following the books. Apart from rising my two sons I helped in a kindergarten/pre-school in Uganda, which I found very rewarding.
