  • Description

    I love and respect nature. My professional life is or rather it was far away from it. Long time ago I studied for a while horticulture and biology and now and then I run back to the nature.
    Three years ago I volunteered on farms in Alentejo. I have some skills and knowledge in gardening, arts and crafts, especially around wool. My knowledge about machinery and electricity is close to zero but I practised some small mending and renovation works around the house.
    My intrests are around nature, human being as such and as a part of nature, socio-economic-political issues/justice and good humor.
    I'm looking for a place where I can be helpfull. And I wish to learn more about sheep, wool production and distribution and weaving tradition in Portugal.
    I'll be available from the 4th of June 2025.

  • More details about your skills

    My main skill would be arts & crafts, working with wool like knitting, weaving also embroidery and basic knowledge in ceramics and wood restauration.
    I'm a passionate gardener. I don't have my own garden but I do now and then some voluntary works or help friends with their plants.
    For the last few years I've been living kind of a vagabund life. Few days of holiday are not satisfactory to me. I like to be somewhere new and live like a local. So I speak Polish, English and German. and I understand basics in another few european languages.
    Proffesionaly I work in customer service face to face and online, finance and HR. I'm organised I guess. And I love to learn new things.
