Description

Hi, Im Avghi a 59 years old woman living in Tasmania Australia. I grew up in a large city but early on chose a rural life to live more simply and closer to nature. So in a quiet corner of the bush I've been occupied with family life and learning to live from our land and with the surrounding wild country. Now my family are grown, happily I have time to reconnect with my greek heritage. I'm looking to participate in local life and culture through working. I enjoy village life and am especially interested in small scale traditional agriculture and land based skills such as dry stone walling. Some of my other interests are reading, cooking, spinning and knitting. I also enjoy bushwalking and swimming as often as I possibly can.

More details about your skills

I have lived and worked on my own land for 30 plus years. Our place is off the electricity grid on the edge of the forest so I am accostomed to foraging and gathering in a sustainable way, respectful and appreciative of the abundance of nature. I am familiar with using and caring for tools, both building and agricultural. I have experience with vegetable gardens and orchards and have kept and milked cows and goats for the family. I also worked many years on commercial orchards doing all seasonal tasks from propagation to harvest. During this time I raised my family of four and was deeply involved with household life. More recently, as my family have grown up, I returned to study and now work as a Registered nurse as well as continuing to work on my land.
