Description

Hello! I am a Polish artist with itchy feet and a love for the natural world. I work as a photographer, creative director and writer, and I love to paint and create art with whatever I can get my hands on! You can see some of my work here: https://maryniakali.myportfolio.com/

I've been living in communities as I travel and I’ve been really enjoying helping to co-create a space, making new connections and throwing myself into practical work that comes with sustainable projects :)

I love spending time outdoors, wild swimming, dancing, hiking and generally being active! I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty and living off the grid. I’m excited to learn more about organic farming and regenerative agriculture and to deepen my connection with nature!

Age

What else ...

I have lived in communities and stayed with many people around the world while travelling (as well as hosting fellow travellers myself) so I know the importance of open communication and respecting the shared environment!

After completing my studies (I have a BA in history from University of York and MA in international journalism from City, University of London) and working as a journalist and in communications, I'm now travelling indefinitely and want to stay in places for longer periods of time, exchange skills and to become part of a community.
