Description

Hello! My name is Marja and I live in Amsterdam. Recently I retired from work. I'm dedicated to contribute to a more sustainable world in which animals, plants and people can live together in harmony. I want to travel to Spain for 6 months. I'd like to work as a volunteer on projects that involve permaculture, rewilding, biological production of food, flowers etc. If possible I would very much like to work on a project with sheep and wool (harvesting, processing of wool, knitting etc.) .
In the previous years I travelled a lot in Spain. The north and middle-east parts of the country I'm most interested in.
I'm the proud owner of a garden of 400m2. Gardening is my passion and brings me joy and inspiration.
