    I am in the south of portugal right now, enjoying the nature and the simple life. I'm on my journey to find out how i can contribute to this world holisticaly without destroying it.

  • Description

    Hello! My name is Paula, I am 25 years old from Germany. What motivates me most is the wish to live in harmony with nature and to take responsibility for our Earth.

    I believe that many of the challenges we are facing today come from a way of living that is disconnected from nature, from ourselves and from what really matters. For me, moving towards a simpler, slower and more conscious life feels essential. Less focus on constant growth and consumption, more focus on connection, care and respect for both people and the planet.

    I just finished my studies in Nutrition Science, and now I want to learn more practical skills for a grounded and meaningful life. I feel happiest when I am outside, working with my body, learning new things and being useful, especially together with like-minded people. I love creative activities, cooking healthy food with natural ingredients, practicing yoga and spending time with music.

    I am still new to permaculture, but very motivated to learn. For me, natural and ecological farming is one concrete way to contribute to healing rather than further harming this world. I can really imagine living in a community one day, sharing work, values and everyday life.

    At the moment, I’m also exploring how I might earn a living in the future, possibly by connecting my background in nutrition science with natural living, permaculture, yoga or medicinal plants. I know there is still a lot to learn, and I’m happy to be on that path.

    I would describe myself as responsible, open-minded, easy to get along with and very motivated to help. I look forward to meeting new people, learning from them and contributing with my energy and care :)

  • More details about your skills

    I just spent almost two months on two different permaculture farms in sicily, where i helped with harvesting, planting, cooking and so many other things. Before that, i didnt know a lot about permaculture, but I already leraned a lot and am super motivated to learn more and more!! Also about medical plants and in generel a conscious ecological living. I am not afraid of physical work and prefer being active outside.

    My skills and experiences:

    Cooking & Nutrition: I studied Nutrition Science (MSc) and I love cooking with fresh and seasonal food. I often cook for my family and enjoy preparing healthy meals.

    Household & simple living: I have no problem with dishwashing, cleaning, handwashing clothes or using compost toilets. I even enjoy simple life and see it as a way to live more consciously.

    Childcare: I worked as a nanny for one year in Mexico for a 3-year-old girl. I played with her, cared for her daily needs, and even taught her some German. I would be happy to spend time with children and share activities.

    Languages: I speak fluent German and English, and a little Spanish.

    Sports & Outdoor activities: I am fit, love hiking, cycling, swimming, climbing, skating and yoga. I enjoy working with my body and staying active.

    Personality skills: I am responsible, reliable, organized, but also calm, empathetic and easy to get along with.

    I am curious to learn new skills such as gardening, natural farming, animal care or building. I am open and flexible, and I learn quickly when shown how to do something.

  • What else ...

    In my free time I enjoy painting and being creative. I also love reading books about philosophy, psychology and nature. Board and card games are also always fun for me!

    I really enjoy being outdoors – camping, sitting by a fire, listening to the sounds of nature. Music is also important to me: I love to listen to many kinds of music, and I play piano, French horn and now the kalimba.

    I am always curious to try new activities and to learn from other people’s hobbies and traditions.
