Description

"Life is a gift. Experience is the beauty."

Hi :)

I would describe myself as a happy woman who loves the sun, the water, the air, the earth and specially the flowers. Sees beauty in the simple life and appreciates the small details.
I'm honest, reliable and responsible. Creativity flows through my veins and hope lights up my soul, giving me many daydreaming moments that with the help of my confidence, determination and motivation thrive to make them real. A dream catcher.
Being in a loving environment, where respect and gratitude align with my moral and ethical values, give me a sense of belonging.
I have a good pair of hands. The hard working and passionate one's. The one's that try to do their best in everything.

I'm craving for new experiences, to grow through what you go through. I want to meet different cultures, lifestyles and environments. I want to learn, to be inspired and to share knowledge. I want to help people build their dreams and projects as we build memories together.

I'm deeply interested in the outdoor world (hiking, camping and want to learn more about alpinism, mountaineering and climbing), the garden world (flowers have my heart!! floral design, permaculture, organic farming, landscape design), animal care as well as Natural/Eco building skills.

I have experience in volunteering in 2019:
In Costa Rica with a hostel, where I was cooking the meals for the staff and the guests in exchange for accommodation and meals.
In Portugal, where I helped an Israeli family build a tiny house made with cob, a natural building technique.

During 2020 I also had the opportunity to stay for 6 months in an off grid house in Portugal and learn more about permaculture, gardening, building a greenhouse with wood, painting the house and restoring a swimming pool.

In 2021, I had a workaway experience for 2 months where I helped the most amazing elder couple from Scotland with their veggie garden, their land and their dogs.
I also did another natural building workshop for 3 weeks, where I learnt more about lightstraw building, making the walls and floors of a house.

I feel truly grateful for all these experiences and I look forward for all the new one's that are about to come 🌱🙌🏻

More details about your skills

I have skills in Art (my media is collage, i love creating artist's books.) But if you need help with photography, painting, sculpture, I am happy to help.

I have good communication, writting, organization and planning skills, customer service experience from my job as a waitress and flight attendant.

I enjoy cooking very much. I cook vegetarian meals but also love cooking vegan.

I love animals and gardens. This is where I want to learn more about since I have a project in mind for the future and would love to get involved in this area to help me bring my project to life one day.

I'm also very interested in adventure sports, so whenever I have a chance to hike a mountain or volcano, to climb rocks, or do something different in this area I'm always on board.

Age

What else ...

I have a beautiful female dog named Surii. She's 8 years old almost 9. I would describe her as a kind, wild spirit. When she's indoors, there's nothing more she loves than her blanket and she stays there for quite a long time, usually I have to force her to go pee or eat something ahah but when she finds herself in an outdoor environment, specially in the Nature, she's full of energy and is always smelling and discovering everything that is around her.
She's my favourite companion and whenever I have the opportunity, I always take her on my adventures.
