Description
We are Cristina (Italy) and Samuel (Slovakia), a couple who met during an Erasmus traineeship in a cultural organization and vegan restaurant in Porto. Since then, we’ve shared many adventures together while also supporting each other in developing our individual projects. We are both vegan, passionate about sustainability, creativity, and community life, and we dream of one day building a rural, eco-creative center where people can connect through art, nature, and shared experiences.
🌿 Who we are
Cristina: I recently graduated in Exhibition & Interior Design in Florence. I’m a visual artist and designer, working with textiles, graphics, and installations. At the moment, I’m also studying to become a holistic life coach. I love the connection between art and nature with the spiritual grow path.
Samuel: I write poetry, music, and love to climb, I've experience in managing a climbing gym in Slovakia. I enjoy physical work, problem solving, and bringing people together through creativity and community activities.
✨ Our common values
We are both respectful, friendly, easygoing, responsible, and trustworthy. We are grateful for any generosity we receive and always happy to give back. We are non-smokers, eco-conscious, open-minded, and eager to explore new ideas and perspectives.
🎨 What we bring
Art & creativity: visual arts, poetry, music, design, decoration
Practical help: gardening, small repairs, maintenance, cooking (vegan cuisine)
Event support: organizing, communication, photography, content creation
Languages we can both communicate with: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian
(Samuel can teach English and Slovak)
🌍 What we seek
Samuel is currently working in Slovakia while Cristina is traveling. In 2026, we plan to travel together by car across Central Europe, supporting ourselves through art and social media. If you have a creative or meaningful project, we would love to hear from you and consider the opportunity to contribute.
Our prospected itinerary from May to September 2026:
Budapest -> North Italy -> East France –> Belgium -> Netherlands -> Germany -> Slovakia
We are especially interested in community projects, eco-living, permaculture, art residencies, and cultural exchange. We would like to learn how to manage artistic projects in rural areas, while contributing our own skills and energy to the host community.
