Description
Warm greetings! I am Mira - a traveling artist finding freedom in living a simple life close to the spirit of nature. I began traveling in 2022 and love to work with people on making beautiful homes and farms all over the world.

I enjoy working on daily chores that involve animal care, gardening, land management, or home-improvement/building projects. As a graphic designer, I can also help create content for social media and marketing.

I am also happy to help you cook and share recipes, basic cleaning and organizing, and some childcare as a natural part of sharing space in a family environment.

In my free time I enjoy quiet surroundings where I can explore local nature and village life at a slow pace. I read, write, make music and art, hike, star-gaze, and contemplate life to entertain myself while traveling. Would also love to share activities together if you have time!

Outside of WorkAway I have volunteered and lived as part of intentional communities. Communication, sharing responsibility and contributing positively to community is very important to me.

*I have no dietary restrictions - I can eat vegetarian, meat, dairy and like to try different foods.

I look forward to connecting with you as I travel! :)

Miriam has been a great help and an amazing support in difficult times.

Miriam spent two week at our ranch. She helped in daily routine wih animals, and she is verry calm and caring with animals. She also helped in preparing marmalade of fruits from our garden and ajvar.
She also drew us to the beach, since we don't have car.
It's a pitty she couldn't stay longer.

There is always… read more

Ce fut une magnifique expérience. La rencontre avec Mira nous a apporté beaucoup, tant en termes d'aide pratique que dans les échanges et partages que nous avons eu au cours de 6 semaines de sa présence chez nous.
Nous regrettons son départ car cette jeune femme, discrète et sensible, est devenue comme un membre de notre famille, partageant notre… read more

I couldn’t ask for a better experience living on the farm with Annie and Remco. They made me feel like part of their family, with patience and respect for my well-being and empowered me to learn a lot during my 6-week stay.

Annie and Remco both love their animals very much and have put a lot of care into creating their farm. They are excellent… read more
