Description
Experiencing new languages, cultures, and environments is one of the greatest aspects of life for me. I believe immersing myself in a culture not as a tourist, but as a worker, offers a deeper understanding and helps to build stronger, more meaningful relationships with the people around me.

I’m excited to learn from new experiences, embrace different ways of life, and dive into the everyday rhythm of life in new environments.

I’m also an architect and artist, with a strong passion for design. I would love to continue learning more about architecture and art, while also sharing my knowledge and skills with others. Whether it’s design concepts, technical skills, or creative processes, I enjoy teaching and exchanging knowledge with those around me.

Additionally, I enjoy gardening and am very interested in learning more about permaculture. I’m eager to expand my knowledge in these areas and explore how I can contribute to sustainable practices.

More details about your skills
The most valuable skill I have is the ability to work well in a team and get along with my peers. As an architect these skill were essential to create successful projects. Making a point to listen and understand other's ideas and opinions is of utmost importance. Keeping an open mind to any advice and learning opportunity is also a valuable asset to have.

I have experience as a receptionist as well as a tutor, but moslty I am a working architect.

I am also a freelance artist. I love capturing vibrant landscapes and cultures in my drawings! You can understand so much by simply sketching! I also like to journal and record my journeys as drawings.

Selin was with us for 2 weeks. In that time she helped in the garden for a week, mainly weeding, and then she looked after the place for a few days on her own, which was great as we took a few days away. She managed this without any problem and is quite self sufficient. Selin doesn't have a lot of experience gardening but is interested in… read more

Rohana and Martin are incredibly hospitable and welcoming, always making sure I was comfortable. They have the most beautiful garden I’ve ever seen! It’s so spacious and well planned.

I got to eat lovely meals with them, most of the ingredients coming from their own polytunnel and vegetable garden. Also got to enjoy fresh eggs from their sweet… read more

I had the chance to stay with Clothilde and John in their amazing slice of heaven, located in the Vale of Avoca.

I got to stay in a very comfortable private cabin with my own bathroom and could come and go from the main house whenever I wanted.

Clothilde and John are the kindest and most welcoming people. We had diners together with amazing… read more

I didn’t get the chance to stay with this hist as she canceled on me a week before our agreed upon time and only after I messaged her to check in.

We had arranged the time months previous and I told her that I would be flying overseas and that the plane tickets would be very expensive to change. Knowing this she decides not to let me know in… read more
