Hi im Eva, I travelling Australia and meanwhile I would love to learn new things meet interesting people and contribute to stustainable projects :))

Description

Hello hello, I'm Eva :))

After finishing my degree in biological and marine science in Sydney, I am now currently travelling Australia, trying to learn more applied and hands on knowledge when it comes to how we can live and work with our planet which is sustainable for all living beings - this could include more nature based living, permaculture and organic farming, outdoor education and so much more.

Environmental issues, biodiversity loss and climate change have always been topics close to heart - I've been active in multiple environmental groups (greenpeace, fridays for future ...), worked on sustainable projects (workaway, WWOf, etc.) and started studying biology to increase my understanding and appreciation of the world we live in.

Other than that, I really enjoy any outdoor activities like swimming, snorkling, hiking, camping, cycling, ... I also love to do yoga, have a boogie or just a quiet read. Definitely on my list for things to learn this year is sailing, maybe diving and hopefully a looot about different ways of sustainable living, farming and education - for that I really love volunteering as it brings all sorts of different people together to exchange ideas, experiences, stories and dreams!

Previous workaway and WWOOF projects have been such wonderful, valuable and inspiring expereinces that I'd love to complete my required 6 months (like the 88 days) for my second working holiday visa in the same way.

On my previous volunteering experiences I've helped with planting, harvesting, taking care of vegetable gardens, (natural and earth-) building and general maintenance as well as some other odd tasks which would just make this enumeration too long ;)

Currently I am looking for places with building projects and/ or a strong focus on permaculture and self-sufficiency to learn. I hope to improve and extend my manual/ craft skills as well as deepen my understanding of permaculture, planting, harvesting and what it entails to (try to) be self-sufficient.

More details about your skills

Throughout my last workaways I´ve gained some experience in off grid living, manual work, gardening, planting, natural building and working in a team.
I also know a bit about how to take care of farm animals, my fathers family are all farmers.
Additinally I organised environmental youth groups in my hometown, where picked up some skills regarding working in teams and working towards a goal.
Through out the pandemic I taught myself and improved my cooking skills (I´m vegan) and I would say know ho to cook for groups.

But overall I am, keen to learn, I can work autonomously, participate and engage in (preexisting) groups and just help where I can! :)
