  • Description

    I've been working as a graphic designer in advertising for 4 years. Although I still really like creativity, I felt the that I wasn't aligned anymore with it and decided to quit this job in june 2022. After that, I started traveling solo for more than a year around Asia. In 2024 I've been working with sheep's for 3 months in belgium ; taking care of them, milking them, making cheese and eco-grazing. I also worked in an organic shop for more than a year.

    Yoga and meditation remain very important today. I discovered Vipassana meditation during a month-long stay in a Buddhist monastery in 2023, and I recently completed a silent Vipassana retreat with Goenka in April 2026 in Belgium. I have been practicing yoga for the past few years at different places, I am still at a begginer/intermediate level.

    This journey has allowed me to understand that human connection and nature connection are such simple yet profound ways to feel good and connected every day. That's why I feel I want to learn about gardening and permaculture for the next months.

    A few words to define me : gentle, respectful , curious, open-minded, little bit more introvert then extravert. When I commit to a job, a project, I am dedicated and commited. I also give importance to spend time on my own outside of the work time, it's all about a good balance :)

    I am really looking forward to share new experiences and to bring my contribution to your place! :)

  • More details about your skills

    I'm highly motivated and interested in learning new manuals skills, especially everything related to gardening and permaculture.

    I've been working one week in an organic farm in Thailand in February 2023, so I had a short introduction of what work farm could look like. There I've been taking care of the plants, making compost, creating the clay plaster for eco-construction, then from it, making the bricks in molds, then lay the bricks and building. So for sure I have to learn everything from scratch, but I already know I am motivated.

    I also love the social side, making connexions and listening to people with care and kindness.
