Description
Sid, 24, UK

Hi all. I am coming to Asia in spring to start a travel and want to help in some volunteer projects on the way. I am interested in learning about permaculture and bioconstruction as one day I want to start my own eco project/commune. I love being outside, working the land and working with my hands. Anything that is good for the environment is good for me and my karma.

I spent 1 year in Israel volunteering on a Kibbutz in the desert, working in the garden.
Also I made an almost 2 year travel in Latin America where I did 11 workaways all focused on permaculture and bioconstruction. I worked on many construction projects (houses, ovens, stairs, firepits etc) made from bamboo, clay, limestone and different recycled/natural materials and techniques. Also I love planting trees and seeds and getting my hands and knees dirty in the mud.

Outside of workawaying I love camping and trekking. I have hiked Shvil Israel (+1100km) and The West Highland Way and many many different treks in South America. I love wild swimming and climbing mountains to see sunsets and watch the stars. I love to chill out in the hammock listening music and also playing cards and games ( and learning new ones too). I love to cook, here in the UK I am a chef.

Hopefully we can meet on the road and share some experiences together, happy travels! : )
