    At home

  • Description

    I am a biologist, ecologist and conservationist by training, work experience and in my heart. In my spare time, I am involved mostly in dragonfly research and conservation, as well as educational activities such as lectures, workshops, camps, field trips, etc. During my years of volunteering, I have been involved in many different projects, mainly biological, many of which I have led.

    For 6 years I dedicated myself to setting up self-sufficient homesteading, learning a lot about permaculture gardening, taking care of the orchard, two beautiful donkeys and ducks. During this time I also did some simple renovation work on an old house. I love to cook and eat a plant-based diet.
    I enjoy various handicrafts, I crochet, I am learning to weave baskets and I am very keen to learn to play the guitar. I am interested in both cultivated and wild plants and their use in nutrition and medicine. In my spare time, on quiet evenings, I like to sit by the fire, read books or watch films.

    I like to play various sports, especially outdoor sports. I like running, hiking, skiing and am a beginner rock climber. I have been doing yoga for the last 2 years, and for the last year I have been dedicating myself to meditation and personal growth.
