Profile information
Description
I am a gypsy at heart. I was born in Yugoslavia and have migrated to Australia many years ago. Whilst Australia has been my home for most my life, I spent some years in South America too. I haven been back in this part of the world for over a year and a half now, reconnecting with my roots.
I seek to immerse my self in the local community, contribute, learn and share life. I am an open minded person and I am ready to get my hands into anything that will challenge and inspire me. My interests are varied, however something core to me, is living in a more present, conscious and sustainable manner with respect to the earth and ourselves.

More details about your skills
Previously, for many years I have worked with disadvantaged young people, children and their families. Other passions have also landed me to work in Interior Design Industry.
One project has been designing and building the interior of a campervan, house on wheels, that I lived in for some years.
Throughout my on road journey, I have lived in various communities. I have set up and maintained fruit and vegetable gardens, taught English, painted a mural, made lamps from recycled materials, painted and repaired parts of homes, made and sold bread, sculpted with mud and concrete, exhibited in photography and a lot more...
I would love to share or build on any of these skills and learn completely new things.
I am particularly interested in learning more about medicinal plants, horses and permaculture.

What else ...
Hoping for an open and honest exchange. I am committed to help out with all that is necessary, however with clear and allocated time for work and for play. Whilst I am very social and love to share with humans, I also like to have time to my self.
