Description
Hi! We are motivated by meaningful experiences, human connection, and living life with presence and depth. We feel happiest while traveling, being close to nature, and spending time in environments where community, inner work, and everyday life are naturally connected.

We are deeply interested in self-exploration and human nature, including Human Design as a tool for understanding ourselves and others. We enjoy learning through real experience, reflecting, and translating what I live into stories and content. What matters to me most is warmth, honesty, curiosity, and contributing to projects that have heart, purpose, and care for people and the earth.

What else ...
We’re creative and curious by nature. We enjoy creating content, capturing moments through photos and videos, and expressing ourselves through movement and dance. We’re interested in mindfulness practices, body-based awareness, and exploring how creativity, presence, and everyday life connect.

We’re inspired by spaces that allow freedom of expression, slowness, and depth — where people can be both playful and reflective. For us, creativity is not just a hobby, but a way of relating to life.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Support our eco-farming and ...)

I spent 5 days at the farm with Peter and another volunteer.

It owns an amazing location and offers a great variety of projects to be done. I joined for creative and stock tasks, however, more manual work was requested on site — clearing and organising common spaces, stables deep clean, gathering and cutting grass and tree branches. Even though… read more the farm has equipment available for cutting grass, we were asked to perform it manually; no technician was on site and the host hadn’t prepared it for the work.

The sanitary conditions were a serious concern. There was no reliable access to clean drinking water — the only option available were bottles with visible mould, which we were expected to use. Access to showers was also limited. Food provided was minimal, so you might like to get more ingredients in the town supermarket.

About the stock task, unfortunately, four goats and their young died shortly before my stay due to illness caused by the barn not having been cleaned properly for months — the animals had been living in unsanitary conditions. Even though three of us tried to clean it, the scale of the situation required outside help from two village workers to address the worst of it.

It also became clear that the place lacks a manager to support volunteers with structured instructions. We had to redo tasks and were denied proper equipment. The host showed little interest in our suggestions on organising the work, though creative ideas were met with enthusiasm.

On the creative side, I really enjoyed making decorations for the campfire — it was one of the highlights of my stay. I also enjoyed the African night the host arranged for us; there is a beautiful collection of spiritual masks and sculptures in the main house and theatre, as well as a lot of thoughtfully produced media on the topic.

I also want to note one incident I witnessed directly. After a five-hour work shift on a very hot day, the host insisted on having an immediate conversation with the other volunteer. When she said she was unwell and needed a moment, his response was dismissive — he talked over her and asked her to be quiet. I was present and observed this exchange.

After noticing this dynamic, I made a personal decision to focus on content creation and the animal and creative sides of the work — and within that scope, my experience was good.

This place would greatly benefit from volunteers who are ready for physical, hands-on work — and from a host approach that supports open communication. With the right conditions, there is real potential to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere this unique location has to offer!

I’m very grateful for this experience and wish all the best! 🙌💖
