Description

Learn, discover, make friends and enjoy life! I'm a nature lover passionate about sustainable living (socially and environmentally) with an open mind and positive energy, always looking to make deeper connections with beings and things around me.
I've worked in hospitality, hostels, as a climbing instructor, graduated in architecture & urban planning, and studied carpentry for the last year. But I'm still not sure what I'm doing!
I've travelled with no money which involved hitchhiking, couchsurfing, workaways and finding 'a place' within communities which of course all include a mutual exchange of some sort. And these non-monetized exchanges have led to creating amazing experiences and deep, meaningful connections (which I seek more of!).
Everybody knows something that you don't and I want to learn about your way of life, skills, philosophies etc, and put my time and heart into helping you to create something beautiful.

More details about your skills

With a bachelors in Architecture & Urban Planning I'm very interested in building in harmony with people, other living beings and the planet. This includes principles of natural building, building biology, Gaia and regenerative design, which links to permaculture/agroforestry, self sufficiency, carbon negative (not just zero!) and sense of place etc. Also how communities can function with or between each other in a decentralised and mutually beneficial way. But through my studies I only have theories and ideas with little practical application. And this is what I desire now!

I spent the last year doing a carpentry course and I would love to get involved with doing more woodwork (recently built a pergola on a workaway). I have experience working within many amazing communities building things such as bamboo huts, clay pizza ovens, solar dehydrators and water management systems. With the nature of living off-grid came common chores such as animal care, gardening and DIY. I've also spent some time in urban environments in hostels/hotels, being responsible for check-ins, cleaning and organising events.

Music is a big hobby of mine - I play drums and guitar (and attempting to sing too!) and would love to jam with others. I studied photography and worked in events both taking the photos and editing them afterwards, so if you need any shots let me know! I've also created a mural for a hotel in Greece (can see in photos) and have some graphic design skills (which were learnt throughout my degree) which could be helpful for you!

Overall, I love being part of a team and putting time, love and effort into projects. I'm a fast learner with way too many interests!
