Description

Hello, fellow Workawayers! I’m Raf, a passionate entrepreneur and artist originally from Europe, now exploring new adventures. For the past three years, I’ve lived on the beautiful island of Réunion, but I’m back in Europe and excited to embark on my next journey.

As a zero-waste cosmetic entrepreneur, I’m deeply involved in sustainability and ethical living. I’ve been vegan for over 10 years and live a minimalistic, zero-waste lifestyle. I’m particularly interested in connecting with others who share these values and who are working on projects that promote veganism, environmental consciousness, or community-driven initiatives.

My background spans various creative fields—I’m a video and photography artist, and I’ve worked as a designer, graphic designer, and art curator. I love using creativity to express ideas and inspire change. Through Workaway, I’m hoping to meet like-minded individuals, learn new skills, and contribute to projects that resonate with my passions for art, sustainability, and vegan living.

When I’m not working, I spend time with my small Yorkshire terrier, who’s been my loyal companion for 11 years, and I’m a father to a 9-year-old daughter who will be rejoining me in Europe next year. I’m using this time before she returns to discover new opportunities and adventures around the world.

Looking forward to learning, sharing, and growing with the amazing Workaway community!

What else ...

In addition to my main skills, I’m passionate about vegan cooking and love experimenting with plant-based recipes. I even make my own tofu and tempeh from scratch! Sharing my knowledge about sustainable, cruelty-free eating is something I really enjoy, and I can adapt meals for various tastes and dietary needs.

I’ve also been practicing yoga and meditation for over 15 years, which are essential parts of my daily routine. I’m always happy to share yoga sessions or meditation techniques with others, whether you’re new to it or experienced.

When I’m not cooking or practicing yoga, I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and am always up for a good chat!
