Description

Hi, I'll be visiting the UK and Germany from mid-May to mid-August this year to catch up with family and friends and learn more about recent trends, developments and initiatives in the organic sector. I'm keen to join in with a pro-active team and/or people who are passionate about organic growing, environmental improvements in general, alternative energy production, water retention schemes etc. My main interest lies in the area of herbalism, alternative medicines, herb growing and the use of herbs in daily life.
At home I'm running a small herbary, growing herbs for local markets, offering seedlings, teas and dried herbs. I'm excited about the possibility of learning more about the trends and developments in my area of interest.
I'm pretty easy going, self-reliant, love meeting people from all walks of life and fit in pretty much anywhere, preferably somewhere in the country side.
I am offering to share my time, energy, knowledge and company with likeminded people on my journey and am looking for short or long term opportunities while travelling.
I'm also fluent in English and German, open to house-sitting, love animals, gardening, can paint and fix things.

More details about your skills

I'm an avid gardener and herb grower. I like to eat out of my garden every day. I follow permaculture principles and have done this for many years.
I have owned a few properties over the years and have renovated and decorated most of them, turning them into cosy homes. I can prep and paint and fix things.
I've been told I'm a good cook, like to improvise by using seasonal fruits and vegetables.
In my working life I have been in project support roles, still enjoy logistics on a communal level.
At the moment I'm running a small community market in beautiful Coromandel Town, here in New Zealand.
