Description

We've met in the Portuguese coast, during Erasmus Student Exchange and that's where our adventure began, 4 years ago :)

Hi, I’m Lena and I’m 26 years old girl who enjoys nature and the connection with the Earth in all possibile forms. I love walking barefoot, practicing yoga in the morning, long distance running and hiking through the fields. I graduated in ethnolinguistics and I’m particularly interested in the languages of minorities. I’ve had a wonderful chance to study in the Basque Country for half of a year discovering one of the most mysterious regions in Europe. I’m always eager to explore and try out new things. I have already participated in wonderful workaway projects with my friend, using a different account, including working in a castle from 11th century in the South of France, preparing the oldest hippie festival in Poland, grassing sheeps in beautiful hills in Umbria, helping in a permaculture farm in Poland and working in a hostel in Denmark.

Hi, I'm Michał, 27y.o. man, a travel enthusiast with a passion for community work. I believe in the interconnectedness of people and events, and I love generating innovative ideas to improve our world.
Thanks to having engineeer background I am not afraid to fix some stuff around my house, or at friends'. It would be amazing for me to take part in some buidling projects. I have done numerous DIY projects, even setting up a modern yurt.
As a DMCO Breathwork instructor, I enjoy helping others grow and reach their potential with the power that's within, I've held group breathwork sessions on summer festivals and seperate events. My adaptability allows me to thrive in dynamic environments, and understand what my new role is and how can I serve the common intention.
My contagious positive energy helps shift people's mindsest towoards space of joy and creativity, to serve this I also use Laughter Yoga practise.

More details about my language interests
We are both aware that a language is a key part to understand a culture of a certain place. We can communicate in English with amost everyone but there's nothing more bonding than learning a native language of the other person. Lena - I'm intertested in euskera (a language from the Basque country), I've spent there 6 months and I had taken part in an intensive summer course two years ago.

More details about your skills

Lena - I'm fluent in English and Spanish (I've spent one year there). I have also been an English and Spanish teacher in a private school. I play transverse flute and I love having some jam sessions from time to time. I love cooking vegetarian dishes using local ingedients and experimenting. During my workaway projects I had a chance to do lots of amazing things such as renovating the castle and the sculptures in its area, grassing sheeps, feeding animals. Once I have even helped in construction of the hives. :)

Michał - I'm a Matrials Engineer. Although I don't see me working in industry anymore, I am still interested in the way things work, and how to build my surrounding and fix it. In terms of practical skills - I have been fixing a lot of household and personal electronics, doing some carpentry, when setting up a yurt, I like to work with wood and metal, or anything that I see a potential in for upcycling.
I have range of circus skills: juggling, unicycling, slacklining, clownade.
I love to throat and overtone sing, I play didgeridoo, and a shamanic drum.
Recently I tend develop my skills with working with people and their emotions. I hold some breathwork practices - DMCO Breathwork, and I am a Laughter Yoga Instructor, which are my main passions.
