Description

Hi!

I am currently taking some time to explore, see new places and enjoy the experiences that they bring. My time with workaway hosts has been great so far and I'm looking forward to doing more.

My background is in fashion and textiles. I am trained as a seamstress in bespoke womenswear and alterations and have also worked in costume for film. In the last two years my focus has been ethical and sustainable fashion and my work has been more as a coordinator, teacher and communicator.

I am passionate about the creative spirit and finding ways we can express ourselves while being in balance with our surroundings. Music is a key pin in my life; I songwrite and sing. I love a good dance, being immersed in nature and just being with people. I am looking to travel, learn and give as much as I can.

It would be brilliant to learn about and contribute to regenerative projects. I had an allotment so I have some experience in gardening; I began trying out some permaculture principles there and also experimenting with growing dye plants. I have been working with a social enterprise in Sri Lanka who plant dye and weave textiles so this practice is particularly interesting to me.

I love being outdoors and am not shy of hard work. I grew up in the countryside going on adventures and helping my parents with the horses they looked after, so working outdoors and with animals comes naturally to me.

Film, art, culture and history are frequent topics of discussion and debate with family and friends. I would love to meet new people and find new ways of thinking, seeing and being.
