Description
🌏 From Brewing to Exploring
For years, I worked as a craft beer brewer, a path that taught me patience, discipline, and respect for natural processes. Over time, I realized I wanted more than routine, so I chose to step away and follow a long-held dream: traveling, learning, and living more intentionally.

Workaway is my way to connect with authentic people and projects — working with my hands, sharing meals and stories, and learning through experience. I’m especially interested in permaculture, sustainability, circular economy, food production, and life close to nature.

I’m practical, adaptable, and genuinely curious, happy to contribute where help is needed and to be part of something meaningful. If you value honesty, shared effort, and good conversations, we’ll get along well.

Staying at Wolfgang and Esther's finca was a dream. Imagine waking up every morning to that absolutely amazing view – pure bliss! While I wish I'd had time to sample all the finca's offerings, the simple pleasure of eating their fresh avocados and eggs was incredible. Honestly, I don't think I can buy avocados from the supermarket anymore; theirs… read more

I couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect place to begin my Workaway journey than Madreselva. Nestled in the lush, fairytale-like landscapes of Sintra-this tranquil oasis is a true paradise for nature lovers. From the moment I arrived, Eva and Jon welcomed me with open arms, treating me not just as a volunteer but as family.

Eva is nothing short… read more
