HI, I'm Johanna, 25 y/o. I live in Ghent, Belgium and work for a small start-up as a sustainability consultant in Brussels, giving advice on sustainability to organisations. I'm very interested in living more sustainably myself, and have been making changes to my own lifestyle in the past couple of years to evolve in that direction. Last summer, a co-worker told me about Workaway and how she has been working on a farm every summer. I immediately thought: I want to do that! I'm a very open-minded person, always interested in other people and cultures. I really enjoy cooking (vegetarian), especially using home-grown vegetables.

I started a small vegetable garden in my mum's city garden about three years ago. I couldn't believe how much satisfaction growing my own produce gave me! There was already a large difference in the amount of vegetables I got between the first and second summer, and there is still so much to learn. Therefore, I would love to work on a farm for two weeks and learn about organic farming, permaculture and keeping animals. I will still need some guidance, but I pick skills up quickly and I'm very eager to learn. I can aldo help with building and animals and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
My native tongue is Dutch (Flemish accent), my English and French are really good and I spent six months in Berlin so I have a basic knowledge of German. Always happy to learn more!
