Description
Hello! My name is Ofek, a 26-year-old originally from Israel, now embracing a new chapter of my life in beautiful Portugal since September 2023. My dream is to eventually own my own piece of land, where I can live sustainably and cultivate a harmonious life with nature.
I'm driven by a deep passion for exploring different cultures and making meaningful connections with people from all walks of life. Experiencing how others live sustainably on their land is something I eagerly look forward to during my European journey.
A committed vegan for over four years, I have explored raw food, fruit-based diets, and water fasting. Health and wellness are pivotal to my lifestyle, and I enjoy running, yoga, and mindfulness practices. Gardening is a particular passion of mine—I've built my own garden and am always eager to learn more about permaculture and sustainable living.
Cooking is another joy, and I find great pleasure in creating delicious, healthy meals. My love for animals extends beyond just being a dog trainer; I have a history of activism and am keen to volunteer with animals whenever possible.
As a dedicated and hard-working individual, I'm enthusiastic about gaining hands-on experience in gardening, cooking, animal care, and learning more about permaculture and sustainable practices. I will begin my journey in November and can't wait to see what this adventure brings!
Looking forward to meeting new friends and hosts along the way!

More details about your skills
My journey has equipped me with a diverse set of skills and experiences. In the culinary field, I've gained valuable experience in both home cooking and restaurant kitchens. I have a strong connection to animals, having worked with rescued animals in sanctuaries and farms, and I specialize in solving dog behavior issues as a dog trainer.
My hospitality experience includes working at a glamping site, where I ensured guests had exceptional stays. I'm passionate about gardening and landscaping, with hands-on experience in both. I also enjoy crafting, DIY projects, harvesting, and fermentation.
I speak fluent English and my native language is Hebrew, and I’m enthusiastic about language exchange. Health and wellness are important to me, and I have extensive knowledge about fasting and self-healing.
Additionally, I have some experience with construction work. Academically, I hold a degree in Industrial Engineering and Management and have three years of professional experience in data analysis and financial management.
