Description

Hi! I’m a landscape architect by profession, although I’m currently taking some time off to slow down and reconnect with myself after a busy period in life. I currently live in Brussels, but I’ve been feeling a strong need for more nature, more simplicity, and the opportunity to travel and experience different ways of living.

I feel most at peace when I’m outdoors. I love gardening, I’m very interested in plants, and I enjoy spending time in nature whenever I can. Lately, I’ve also been exploring herbalism and natural plant knowledge more deeply, and I’m considering starting a herbalist course in the future.

For me, a Workaway feels like the perfect opportunity to connect with places and people that share these values. I would love to help out in an environment where nature, simplicity, and a slower rhythm are important. I’m looking forward to learning practical skills, sharing my creativity and knowledge, meeting new people, and reconnecting — with nature, with others, and with myself.
