Travel information

I am currently

Description

My name is Amanda and I’m and artist and graphic designer. Between 17-27 I travelled a lot and lived in different places and then between 27-37 I have lived in my home country and worked and studied. Now is the time to go out in the world again and to be part of meaningful projects and exchanges.

One of the main reasons I want to travel right now is to come closer to nature and explore and connect to communities - with a long term wish to become part of one, one day. I did a gardening course for one year and I found out I really thrive among the plants, although I still have a lot to learn. I would like to see myself as a very grounded person but with an open mind and an interest in things like meditation, yoga and dreams. I have studied yoga for a long time and also did a teacher training in Mysore/India back in 2018 and would happily share what I know and practise if it would be of interest.

WHAT I CAN OFFER/CONTRIBUTE
I happily offer the skills and muscles I have for 4 hours/day 5 days/week. If your needs are different lets talk about it - I'm quite flexible.
- Painting - both artistic/decorative and maintenance wall painting
- Help in the garden
- Sewing
- Teaching yoga
- Help around the house, i.e. cleaning, cooking etc.
- Maintenance, simpler construction, fixing around the house. Quite a good problem solver and self-learner.
