Description

Hello! I’m Laurena, an agricultural bio-engineer from Belgium specialized in plant production. 🌱

I have practical experience with different crops (strawberries in France, bananas in the Caribbean, technical advice to farmers in Belgium) and I’m passionate about sustainable farming and tropical agriculture. I enjoy sharing knowledge as much as learning from others.

Outside of work, I am passionate about trail running, which helps me connect with nature and new environments. I also love discovering new cultures, meeting people from different backgrounds, and contributing to meaningful projects.

Through Workaway, I hope to support local communities, strengthen my skills in tropical agriculture and ecotourism, and exchange knowledge while living authentic experiences.

I look forward to meeting you and contributing with enthusiasm, responsibility, and a positive mindset!
