Description
I am a Venezuelan/American living in the Netherlands and am looking to get some farming experience! I live in Amsterdam where I am currently volunteering at an urban farm/community center helping in the garden, weeding and taking care of the plants, and I also help with the goats, chickens and rabbits that live at the farm by cleaning their stalls and feeding and cuddling them. I also volunteer occasionally at a local CSA. At the urban farm I help manage the food coop and have loved working with local farmers to help sell their produce in a neighborhood that lacks access to affordable organic produce. It has also been so lovely to work collectively with my amazing neighbors in order to initiate this local food system. Activism and social work concerning small scale agriculture and access to affordable organic food is something I have been involved with for many years - I am deeply passionate about changing our world through the way we grow and get our food.
I have experience as a workawayer living with a family in Amsterdam for 5 months taking care of the kids and cleaning the house. I really enjoyed that experience - I love spending time with kids and was so lucky to live with an open minded and creative family.
In addition to what was mentioned I love dancing! and moving my body and getting out of my head to practice living from my heart. To put this goal into practice I recently completed a 200h yoga teacher training course and a course in non violent communication. I love learning. And I am looking forward to continue to learn from the beings I meet along my journey. thank you!Languages
