Description
Hello, I'm Julia. I'm a lover of wild nature, horses, making music, making bread, enriching children, having deep talks, intimate sharing, and plant medicine. I enjoy a simple, natural, creative life.

I believe sharing and connecting with others is the best way to learn. I like to exchange perspectives, organic seeds, music, knowledge of sustainable gardening and permaculture, joy and laughs. I am happy to help anyone with English, as I have extensive experience teaching.

One of my biggest assets is my natural ability to maintain strong, trusting interpersonal relationships. I enjoy organizing projects and appreciate responsibility. It's easy for me to catch on and jump into an everyday routine. I often form long-term relationships with the places I volunteer and enjoy re-visiting hosts from the past. I have been a Workaway host myself for the past five years and maintain a rural property on my own.

I sing and play guitar, piano and handpan drum.

My favorite things to do are playing music and singing with others, laughing, cooking, having good talks, practicing yoga and meditaion, foraging in the meadow, working with the earth, riding horses, instilling self-confidence in others and walking in the forest. Most people would say I am a very spiritual person.

I hope to find experiences where I can both teach and learn.

Julia is a complete volunteer, the real deal, a real pro.

I am delighted to have had the opportunity to spend three weeks at this beautiful place. The work was plenty, but it was made light due to the attitude and fun-loving spirit of the wizards that live there.

It was one of the most enriching volunteer experiences I have ever had. The requirements for volunteering were consistent and clear but left room for ideas and initiative.

Julia has become a very close friend to both our family and project. The life we shared over the course of a month was made sweeter by her presence. We all grew a lot from getting to know her and having her around singing, cooking, talking, planting, teaching us about plants and life. It is needless to say how much she did help us.

Julia is the best Workawayer we've ever had. We've been doing this five years. Everything she does is above and beyond what is expected. She's a very skilled manager, cook and worker. She takes accountability for the whole operation naturally and spontaneously. She's a natural born manager. That was obvious the first day. Thank you Julia for… read more

I had a wonderful experience here! There was plenty to do but it was a laid back atmosphere and Estefania was more than generous with relaxation time in the afternoons and evenings. Thiago was a joy to experience and play with and there was a good energy in the house. I was able to paint two murals and a sign for over the front door, and was happy… read more
