Description

Hello dear Community,

We are Lydia (35) and my little daughter Nola (3).
I would discribe myself as an curious, adventurous and outgoing person.
Nola is a sweet little toddler full of energy. She is a curious, brave little girl, who makes me smile every single day. We both love to meet new people and discover new places.
We enjoy being around people but also like to spend some time on our own.

Before I became a Mum I used to travel a lot, mostly Indonesia, because I love surfing :)
In my former career I used to be a Paramedic. The last 5 years before motherhood , I used to work as a seasonal worker in the Swiss mountains, mostly as a Barmaid.
I love being outdoors, doing any kind of activities like surfing, snowboading, climbing, hiking...
10 years ago I´ve travelled to Canada, such a beautiful place. I was working as a woofer in Canada. Well, that means i already got some impressions of farmwork (mostly harvesting).
I am not affraid of hard work or getting my hands dirty.

Last year I quit my job and our apartment to start a new chapter.
We have spent 4 month in Marocco and we really liked it.
The people were so openminded and they love kids. Nola had a lot of opportunities to ride horses, camels and donkey.
Currently she always pretends riding a horse whatever she is sitting on.

I always dreamt about living in a Community, therefore i would like to take that opportunity and show my little daughter different ways of living.
I am keen to learn everthing about permaculture, building with natural materials(like clay, wood..), helping with DIY projects.
I am also interessted to learn how to presereve food and of course trying out new recipe.

I would like to find a place with likeminded people and preferably with other families/kids, that Nola has some company.
We both are animal lovers, that would be an extra plus.
I would like to lend a hand on anything you might need help with. I am always open to learn new skills. If you think we could match, please do not hesitate to write us :)

More details about your skills

As I mentioned above in my former career i used to work in the healthcare and also hospitality.
I´ve done woofing 10 years ago on 3 different farms(mostly harvesting vegetables or fruits,looking after the chickens, cleaning the barn, help to put up the fence...)
I used to help some friends of mine in their garden, like mowing, watering, weed control you name it.
I would really like to learn everthing about permaculture and how to build with natural materials.
I would call myself quite an allrounder and always eager to learn new skills.
I can of course also help in the household, looking after the kids, taking care of animals.
I would like to get involved with some DIY project, to get a little creative.
