  • Description

    Hello!
    I'm Isabella and I'm Italian/Scottish, born in London and grown up in Italy.

    I would like to learn and explore as much as possible all the different aspects about working in and with nature. Any agricultural technique from permaculture, agroforestry, syntropic farming, foraging, pruning, harvesting... Working outdoor in nature just brings me so much joy and satisfaction and this is all I want to focus on in life in this moment.
    I have worked and volunteered in different farms and vineyards in the past year so I have now some basic knowledge that I wish to continue upgrading.

    I would like to be near mountains, oceans or whatever beautiful places may exist, to do practical and manual jobs, to walk and explore and to make meaningful connections with other humans. I am also very interested in community living.

    I've studied art for 12 years, I have a degree in art therapy, I've been a teacher, I've worked with photography and art and I would like to share my skills and knowledge.
    Whatsoever, in the last few years I've become addicted to nature and I've totally changed my life because I sought a sense of adventure and exploring that had to be done on my own so I would love to try different things and open up to the possibilities of the unknown.

    I like laughing, colors, walking up mountains (a bit less walking down), oceans, learning names of plants and recognizing them, connecting with people, painting, body positivity through art, yoga, workouts, nice (vegetarian) food and freezing gin tonics; I like blue skyes but I also love grey ones, I like listening to melancholic music (but I don't mind some punky happy stuff), I like sharing sociable time but I love deep conversation just as much.

    I'm travelling around Europe, focusing on Spain, Portugal and Scotland (but open to any adventure!).
    I would like to work/volunteer in farms/community projects/hostels/ with nature/art/whatever the world has to offer.

  • More details about your skills

    I have a degree in painting and art therapy so I love painting anything and creating a new energy with color: I can paint your house, your furniture, dye your hair, create installations, land art or whatever!
    I can teach and I make art labs where people can express themselves and feel creative.
    I've got a diploma in therapeutic photography and photo therapy techniques and I've worked a lot on body acceptance/self love through photography.
    I've been a teacher as a side job for many years, teaching kids English, art and other subjects in classical schools and in forest projects. I've done a year course on forest school learning so I'm open and interested in different ideas of education and I like combining art and nature to get people comfortable with the outdoors.

    I'm good with all these things above but most of all at the moment I want to work in nature.
    I would really love to learn practical skills, from growing a vegetable garden to recognizing plants and trees, agricultural techniques, using chainsaws, drills and so on or whatever you have to propose or need a hand with.
    I'm a quick learner, I am strong and I would be happy to help with practical maintenance work as well.
    Now, after a few workaway experiences, I can say I've tried quite a few of these things and I can't wait to try more!

    Also, I'm pretty good at cleaning. I like keeping places tidy and helping people organize their spaces.

    I'm good at cooking vegetarian food, making people happy with food makes me really happy!
