Description

Hello this is Julia,

I am a 33 year old biologist, based in Hamburg and Husum in the north of Germany.
I am working in environmental planning and nature protection and my plan for this year is to do a permaculture design course to get some deeper insights into theory and practice after spending some time in smaller permaculture projects in the past.

I started volunteering back in 2011 in a National Park in Greece for a year and then started workaway in 2014. It has been such a great experience that ever since then I keep coming back from time to time. Over the years I have helped out in a vegetarian restaurant, in greenhouses and on a farm in Iceland. I worked in an Ecoresort doing housekeeping, a permaculture garden, on a macadamia nut farm and a garden project focusing on native species in New Zealand. Later I travelled to Italy and Norway to learn more about permaculture and sutainable living in different projects. More recently I have helped on a building site where we helped restore an old house with ecofriendly materials.
What I really enjoyed is not only to travel to different countries, but to meet and stay with local people, to see how they live, what projects they spend their time and dedication on. It has been a different kind of learning and growing that I very much appreciate.

I am interested in learning more about permaculture applied, in gardening, sustainable living and building and environmental education.
I love being outside and in nature, a major motivation for me to leave the city, I enjoy hiking and canoing. I play guitar and cello and have a passion for water colour and brushes. You can usually count on me when it comes to any kind of creative project.

So, this is me and it would be great to get to know you!
