More details about your skills
(Margherita)
I studied art and visual communication in Venice and worked for a bit in contemporary art, before I started travelling in 2016. I got the travel bug, and kept moving and exploring.
While traveling I accumulated experience in a large variety of fields, especially in making art, eco-living, animal care, and running community events and workshops. I love all animals, especially cows; at one point I worked in dairy, and because of that experience, since 2018 I avoid consuming animal products. I am eager to learn practical skills and expand my knowledge about construction, repairs, animal care, about food preparation and preservation, and about permaculture.
Me and Josh met while working in New Zealand in 2019, we traveled together in Asia for a while, and then settled down in Scotland. Now we are moving back to Europe with our van. We share our passions for travels, art, trees, good food, camping, and mindful living.
(Josh)
I have travelled longer term over the past decade, alongside studying and working as a forester in Scotland.
I have volunteered extensively throughout Australia, Europe and India in a variety of roles such as permaculture/organic vegetable growing, saw milling, farm maintenance and operations, and assistance with digital media/web design.
Most recently in 2020 I got involved painting mural work with Margherita, something I hope to continue with and find new painting opportunities.
However, I am happy to volunteer in whatever capacity is required and to assist wherever is needed.
When we started traveling together we immediately teamed up as muralists, you can see examples of our work in the profile pictures.
In 2024, after spending a few months in Asia, we will be moving to the Italian Alps, where Margherita will study the art of mosaic making at Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli.

You'll usually find me in the forests or the mountains. I enjoy connecting with the land.

We stayed more than 2 weeks and painted a big mural on the front wall, Charan and the guys at the hostel were super welcoming and chill and we had a great time with them. Delicious food from Gautam, who was cooking an Indian meal a day for us and sometimes more. We had full freedom on our working schedule and really enjoyed… read more
