Description
Hi everyone !
I'm Vaska, I normally study geography and the environment at the University of Toulouse but I'm doing a gap year to gain experience, learn new things and discover ways of living together in different projects and communities.
I grew up in Ariège, France, very close to the Pyrenees. That's probably part of the reason why what I really love in life is being in the mountains, hiking and climbing. But also learning more about these areas and their flora and fauna.
There are lots of things I like to do too, artistic things like drawing, tattooing, making clothes and DIY in general.
I'm a person who enjoys doing lots of sports, physical work, meeting people and living with people, and sometimes partying too, as well as yoga and peaceful drawing and napping in the sun :)
I'm rather concerned about the environment and I'm looking to discover other ways of living that are more respectful of the planet and living things.
In any case, I'm very interested and open to learning and doing new things!Interests

More details about your skills
I'm not a professional in any particular field, but I think I'm rather versatile, having multiple interests and being rather curious.
I have worked several times in the agricultural field (more on crops than livestock), so I have some experience in this area.
I have also carried out several DIY constructions such as wooden shelters, furniture and helped on collective construction sites. This without training but rather by learning on my own.Age

What else ...
What I'm looking for in a workaway exchange is to discover new ways of living together, spending time in nature, learning new things and travelling to discover cultures and people in a deeper way and helping out where needed.

I spent almost 2 months in the little village of Villabre. It's a really peaceful place, where the atmosphere varies depending on who's involved in the project! All the surrounding mountains are very natural and very little exploited by humans, which I personally found it amaysing!
