Description

Hey!

I'm Phaëdra, half-greek half-belgian. I'm 22 years old and very passionate about nature and the environment. I am interested in regenerative agriculture, permaculture, natural building and all kind of skills like beekeeping, animal-care, traditional crafts, woodworking, etc... I want to learn how to make everything! I love learning, reading and writing, also I love playing music and experimenting with all instruments (currently learning guitar, flute and baglamadaki). I would love to learn vegan/vegetarian cooking.

Three generations ago, my family in Greece were nomads, travelling around with their sheep. Eventually they settled in a village in Epirus. This day, the land is overgrazed and neglected. I wish to regenerate it and live there, growing into a self-sufficient community, practicing all kinds of crafts, discovering the wild nature of Greece and helping people and nature in the area.
In february 2022, i got the opportunity to go as an ESC volunteer to Greece, in an eco-village.
I stayed 8 months, got my permaculture design certificate, and have been learning & practicing regenerative agriculture, natural building, and community living.

Workaway is an amazing way to learn from others, and really get to know a community and i'm looking forward to working together! I enjoy working hard, finding inventive solutions and i'm a fast learner!

In February, I will be one month in India. I am looking for a long stay where i can be close to nature.

Hope to see you soon!
