Description
You may find the following description cliché, but I couldn't find a better choice of words :) I'm extremely passionate about exploring the world, conserving nature and learning new lifestyles and cultures. I too, among most young people, was nearly trapped in the rat race who spends most of their precious time on a 9 to 5 job.

Yes, I did travel in the free time I had. Then I made some free time to travel and kept on expanding the period of free time, and gradually such free time wasn't enough for me. Being a responsible traveler isn't easy. It needs much preparation, duration, and an optimistic & adapting mindset. Finally, I realized I was not meant to be entrapped inside those concrete forests working in a way decided by someone else. I couldn't force myself to be an employee then and I quit my job as an engineer. I've always wanted to live as a freelancer, build a farm and lead a slow life. I was never comfortable working for an employer or "under" an organization.

I'm so worried about the present climate crisis(yes, I am suffering from eco-anxiety!) and the resulting dangerous state of the Earth and am passionate about preserving it. Inside me, the speculation that the purpose of my life is to contribute to conserving our planet for the future kept on building day by day! I wanted to choose a profession and lifestyle that brings my thoughts, beliefs and plans to life.

At last, I decided to pursue a lifestyle that allows me to travel as much as I can while experiencing new cultures and getting to choose exactly the right lifestyle for me to conserve the planet and thereby discover my passion.

I'm working on my plans to learn permaculture and practice it by building my farm one day and leading a slow, peaceful life, away from the hustle & bustle of the modern world. At the same time, looking forward to serving my fellow beings and communities by contributing towards conserving the Earth as much as I can.

More details about your skills
Being a nature enthusiast, I can put my heart, body and soul in any nature conservation activities(although organic farming and permaculture are my priorities).

I have been working in the Engineering design field(still pursuing it as a freelancer), which included direct communication with the clients abroad. So I'm well experienced in handling computer and it's related applications (especially AutoCAD, Revit and other design tools, MS Excel, Word along with other basic softwares) and English language.

I love writing, editing and photography. I'm a budding content writer, I write blogs in Google Blogspot. I can help with creating content and images for websites and in the same way, promote them.

I can teach English and Malayalam(my mother tongue) languages verbally as well as orally.
Age
28
What else ...
I love to trek, roam around beautiful landscapes and photograph nature, as much as I love it to be conserved for the future. I'm keen on learning apiculture, organic farming, especially permaculture and the best sustainable lifestyle possible, and practice them in my life so that I can contribute to making the planet healthier!

I prefer public transport as a means of travel and follow all the sustainable-travel methodologies possible so that I can reduce my carbon footprint and be a responsible traveler.

I really love playing badminton, card and board games.

Kiran is extremely committed, dedicated and professional volunteer. He demonstrates high level of ownership, work ethics, dedication and hard work. He supported CFA as volunteer during our monsoon feeding program during the harsh monsoons of 4 months in Goa, India. When the normal life is out of gear during the off season, community animals are… read more

I stayed at this beautiful place for nearly 2 months, enjoying each & every moment. It was amazing, loved the location, the people, the dogs, and the culture. Experienced what real Goa is, and it was crazy!

The stay is so close to the beach that you can relax lying in the hammock hearing the sound of the waves at night. The Down-street too is at… read more a walkable distance where there are many stationery shops, cafes, restaurants, wine shops, taxis, and public transport(there are frequent buses to Canacona bus station where you can get the buses to all the places in Goa, and Karnataka buses too. Goa is well connected by public transport and I recommend utilizing it whenever possible, rather than taking the bike always. You'll certainly enjoy the journey on buses & trains through the routes covered with lush greenery and can reduce your carbon footprint, for a greener Earth). I had explored almost all the paths & corners of this place and I loved roaming around. The full-time staff and the lovely dogs(Snow & SnowE, miss you my buddies) were there for my company at the stay. The meals were provided there and we cooked together too. Mr. Rohith made sure that I had a comfortable stay, he often joined us in cooking and stuff. He took me to nearby places, recommended good spots, and we went for lots of walks on the beach and had a good time.

The tasks were not hard, I enjoyed every bit of them by getting involved truly. Mainly the tasks were reception, website management & guest relations at the stay, monsoon feeding program for the community animals(the program specifically for the rainy season), and some logistics work. I had the freedom to choose the timings for the tasks, so I could carry out my freelance job too, adjusting the timings. Mr. Rohith guided me through the tasks and made me so comfortable & involved. He was so kind and friendly all along and is very good at communication. The staff at the property were also very friendly that I felt like one among them and worked together as a team.

Mere words aren't enough to describe my experience at this place and the feelings I had during my departure. I'll certainly come back to meet you all my friends, and taste the serenity of this enchanting place once again.

I recommend this place to all kinds of travelers and people belonging to all age groups & nations. I don't think there are many hosts better than the one here ;)
I made many friends at Palolem, and most of the people were super friendly and welcoming. And the place, OMG.. I'm not giving you guys a spoiler explaining the beauty of South Goa, go & enjoy it as a responsible traveler :)

I had the pleasure of hosting Kiran as a Workawayer on my farm, and I can't say enough about his dedication and hard work. From the moment he arrived, he was enthusiastic about taking on challenging tasks, and he didn't shy away from the hard work we had discussed beforehand. Kiran's work ethic is truly commendable.

Not only is he a diligent… read more

This was my first Workaway experience and how lucky I am to find a host like Aneesh! I'm so grateful to him as he gave me an opportunity even though the work was little heavy and considering I was a beginner at farming. This was really a boon & boost for me since I'm looking forward to start my own farm one day. A really enthusiastic person like… read more
