Description

The thing that makes me feel the most alive is being in nature. I love a good hike that's full of "look at that plant!" and "look at that bird" moments :) If we can be in awe of nature together, I'm sure we can be good friends.

I'm a painter. I work mostly as a muralist, but I also do traditional painting, as well as digital.
But I also love all kinds of crafty activities. When I'm not painting, I love having a sewing or embroidery project, and recently I've started learning how to weave. I'd love to learn to work with wood and metal as well.

I have a goal to move to the countryside and have an off-grid lifestyle. I'm into permaculture gardening and sustainable homes. My dream is to learn how to build a cob house. So if you have any experience with this, I would love to learn from you (or if you also have a passion for these topics, we can just share and learn together) :)

I'm into testing out new vegan recipes and I've spent time volunteering as a mentor to people transitioning to a vegan diet.

Other than that, I like watching movies, playing a chill board game/cards/chess...

More details about your skills

I love working with and caring for animals. I've done cat-sitting (up to 10 cats at once) and dog-sitting. As a child, all the way through high school, I was taking riding lessons and pitching in at a local barn, so I have no issue with handling of horses and other larger animals as well.

I have a lot of experience with anything textile related, I've done an internship at a tailor's workshop, but I have been sewing since I was little on my grandma's old Singer machine.

I've done some renovation and construction work with my father on his house, some brick-laying, plastering, spackling. I really enjoyed that kind of work and would love to learn more.

My biggest skill is that I am a quick and willing learner and I am very dedicated to doing a good job on any task I'm given.
