Description
I studied literature and trained myself in filmmaking, which is my passion and work. I started getting into Permaculture after volunteering at a farm in Vizianagram and then at Aranya farms near Hyderabad for 5 months until the IPC; where i worked on the farm as well as did the photo and video documentation.
I'm especially interested in learning off grid living, helping out on organic/permaculture farms and alternative cafes and hostels, working with indigenous communities, yoga schools, and other community initiatives. I'm in the process of writing my first feature length script and in my film work I hope to talk about the lives and resistances of India's silent majority.

Rajen is a very wise man and you'll have a great many conversations with him. That in itself is a good incentive to go there, not to mention the beauty and solitude of Madikeri mountains. You'll need to be tough though, because life isn't a bed of roses in a place like this, but when you look at the night sky, the absolute silence and air so fresh… read more

Adel and Ulli are easily some of the most amazing people I’ve had the privilege of getting to know from Workaway. Adel has been running the hotel for over 15 years with a lot of care for guests, volunteers and staff alike. If you decide to go there, know that you’ll be treated with a lot of love and respect and become a part of the family,… read more

When you initially plan to stay someplace for 2 weeks and end up staying for 5, it says a lot. Dee's place has been my favorite workaway experience so far because of the respect she has for volunteers' time. In return, the volunteers respect the work and and give their best, keeping track of their own hours. The place attracts a lively bunch of… read more

It was a pleasure to work with Vikas! Great company, warm hearted, friendly spirit. He produced several short promotional videos for us on the farm which was a huge benefit as neither of us have any film making skills. We would recommend Vikas to any Workaway hosts.

I volunteered at Kunal and Laura’s place for two weeks in end of Jan/beg. of Feb, and made seven short films between 30 secs-3 mins for them to promote their place. They are committed to healthy, waste free living and spreading the permaculture message. I found them to be open to new suggestions and ideas and keen to draw on your skills and… read more

I'd have left a review sooner if my account didn't expire but as others have pointed out, Krish's farm really is like a small permaculture school. His farm was my first exposure to permaculture, after which, on his suggestion, I went to his PDC teacher's farm and spent five months volunteering during the International Permaculture Convergence.… read more

Vikas was a very hard working volunteer & even brought some friends with them - they all came at a very crucial time in implementing our food forest and got some important tasks done! It was great to have the extra hands around and we got a lot accomplished with this team. His friend Nick was also a great help & very keen to learn about… read more
