I am on a mission to find a lovely community for living in the jungle and working on a sustainable

Description
I am a open minded person who prefers talking about whats really important in our lives rather than small talk.
Currently I am asking myself what I'm really looking for and how and where I want to spend the next years. Thus I do appreciate inspiration about alternative lifestyles. Also I am into spiritual ways of living and spending much time in nature.
What matters to me a lot is being connected to my surroundings, meaning the earth and the people I am with. I see myself as a mediator and team player so it is easy for me working with anyone, as long as the other respects me in the same way.

I am cheerful, grateful and usually spontaneous.

More details about your skills
I am a socioeconomist who used to work in education and the social sector. So I am good with leading groups and teaching (mathematics and English, I specialized in fostering intercultural and social skills). I am also a wilderness pedagogue and so my passion is to form learn settings in nature, learning about plants, ecosystems, how to have a good time outside in a group.

I am good with handycrafting and I like to work with wood. I have some experience taking care about plants and I would like to learn more about gardening as well as plant medicine.

I grew up in a rural place, so I had contact to animals and would also like to learn more about taking care of them.
Age
33
What else ...
I'm looking for a place to help and stay in a community and sometimes I also need some time for myself. It is important to me having daily routines together e.g. cooking/ eating together and having regular open talks about how we are and what we need.

I enjoyed teaching here. The team was very helpful in preparing my classes, I followed the book but could also take much time for my own ideas. Also the teachers were interested in doing activities together what's super nice. Just I would have liked to know before that Barbosa is quite a noisy place, much traffic and loud events where happening… read more

Lene came mainly to help in the house, cook and take care of our little girl, and we were super glad to have her. I really liked that she paid attention to details in the house, and she always respect the instructions :). She is also a good cook :) Thank you Marlene <3

It was a great adventure to spend three weeks in Puerto Lara. I loved teaching the locals and learned a lot about the forest, the locals way of living and traditions.
It was not an easy workaway (I was one of the first volunteers, many tons were not clear that time) but I am so thankful I could make this experience!! I’d love to come back in some… read more

Adventure and traveling makes me feel free, that's the best thing I have experienced in life

I am afraid of being bitten by insects because it happened many times and I usually have a strong reaction. Thus I am carrying a first aid kit with me...

Being surrounded by water gives me peace

I love to sleep in my hammock

I stayed at Felix place in summer 2020 for about two weeks with a friend. It was a real adventure to accompany him, help with different tasks (such as picking potatoe bugs) and also meet his friends. Felix is a generous guy who is always with a good mood and flexible in terms of tasks and organizing the day.

Ich war im April eine Woche bei Alba und den Jungs. Es war eine super schöne Zeit. Wir haben uns zusammen um den Garten gekümmert und einige Ställe entrümpelt. Alba ist eine herzliche, aufmerksame Person, die mich gut verpflegt hat. Die Kinder sind sehr lebendig und es hat mir Spaß gemacht Zeit mit ihnen zu verbringen. Das Zimmer ist sehr… read more

Ich durfte knapp vier Wochen bei Christa bleiben und es war eine großartige Erfahrung für mich, die mir in lieber Erinnerung bleiben wird.
Christa hat mir liebevoll ein eigenes schönes Zimmer hergerichtet und mich jeden Tag bestens versorgt. Sie hat uns auch nach Essenswünschen gefragt und es lagen immer Essen und Snacks bereit, die wir uns… read more
