  • Description

    Hello!!

    I’m currently in my second sabbatical year, and I want to keep learning new skills while also practicing and sharing the ones I already have. I love helping people through what I enjoy most: working with my hands, creating, decorating, painting, organizing, managing, and practicing yoga and meditation.

    I graduated in Architecture and also became an Interior Designer. However, two years ago, something inside me shifted. My life no longer made sense just designing for others without considering spirituality and our connection with Mother Earth. That’s when I discovered bioconstruction and permaculture — and I fell in love.

    Months ago, I took a bioconstruction course in Bahia, Brazil. Now, I want to keep learning and practicing what I’ve learned: building with soil and using the resources that nature gives us. I've learned techniques such as pau-a-pique, adobe, hyperadobe, cordwood, earthen plastering, and clay painting.

    I also completed a yoga teacher training in India, so I can guide small yoga sessions. I love exploring spirituality and participating in activities that help deepen that connection.

    In addition, I can cook some Brazilian and Italian dishes, make caipirinhas, and help organize or manage projects.

    My last volunteer experience was in Bahia, where I helped an artist build a DJ stage for a festival using bioconstruction techniques.

    Other experiences I’ve had:
    - Managing and working as a receptionist at a hostel in Sri Lanka;
    - Beach clean-up in Sri Lanka;
    -Helping in the kitchen and cleaning in Ibiza;
    - Bioconstruction projects in Brazil;
    - Cleaning in a hotel in Italy;
    - Helping serve food at a festival in Italy.
