Travel information

Description

I love discovering new places, new people, new cultures and with all of that, discovering more about me everyday and pushing my own limits. Therefore, I believe workaway is the best option to do all of that at the same time!

I am a commited and enthousiastic person, and I admit, a bit utopian. I believe in solidarity between people. I trully think that helping each other, without waiting for something in return, is essential in a society. It really makes sense for me to be part of a group by sharing with the others, not only words or experiences, but also whatever I can give.

I am a nature lover, I grew up in a farm in the countryside, so I know what means working there. Though I would be very interested in gaining more skills in market gardening and permaculture. I love cooking in general (mainly plant-based) and finding solutions to cook sustainably.

I recently finished my training as a yoga teacher and I'm trying to apply the teachings of yoga to my everyday life, practising non-violence, healthy diet, appreciation and positive thinking.
