Description

Hey lovely souls!

I'm Jesse, a life-long philosophy student (Nietzsche:D), an ecstatic dance lover, an aficionado of linguistics, a little humanity-and-ecology advocate, a sun-happiness-and-simplicity-chasing nomad, an ethical non-monogamy apprentice... and much more! Currently, and for the past years, I've been on-and-off-travelling with mostly commuting between my birth country Luxembourg, Latin America and Southern Spain.

I'm eager to embrace soulful encounters with beautiful beings, inspiring volunteering experiences, and novel challenges stimulating mind, body and soul! As a somewhat outgoing introvert, I'm both fond of human interaction and the collective trance and of turning my awareness inwards, connecting with my self and healing in that inner retreat mode.

Guided by the principle of love, I'm captivated by the idea of helping to connect and raise global consciousness by authentic and simple/subtle acts of joy, empathy, and solidarity! For we all share this existence on this enthralling rock floating through limitless space!

Past travel experiences and life's lessons considerably helped me uncover previously neglected potentials and widened my perspectives in various realms! I am very thankful for all those transformative insights I was gifted with while being on the road – from solving deeply personal struggles surrounding identity and privilege (as European white educated male) to reflecting about meaningful existence in increasingly meaningless modern times; from picking up different notions or languages, cultural practices or ways of living to realising that in all diversity there is union; from volunteering on a Tribal Festival in Panama, helping out at a Costa Rican Surfcamp, immersing into the tradition of Coffee, ecology and permaculture in Colombia to being stuck during Covid-19 outbreak in a Dominican eco-lodge, learning about bio-construction in Andalucia or self-sufficiency in Catalonia – and all the while connecting to my self, to Nature, putting down roots, making friends and family all over the places!

One crucial point on my learning agenda is to cultivate a deeper understanding of how we, as a species, and especially, as individuals, can re-engage with the natural world. By trying to learn from projects that implement self-sufficient and sustainable ways of living – both in the outer and inner world – I hope to, one day, set up myself or join a healthy, pro-vital community that values the bond between nature and humans and everything there is...

Love and light!

More details about your skills

Graduated in philosophy and social anthropology, freelancing as a journalist and author, I'm avid of words and connecting ideas and people.

Raised in a multilingual environment (Luxembourgish, German, French, and English), and drawn to multiculturalism and internationalism, I'm aching to teach languages and inspiring people with the very singular beauty of letters, ideas, and cultural practices.

Blending professional experiences in journalism and tourism also helped me get acquainted and adept with getting administrative jobs done, writing articles about travel destinations, or investigating people and places all over this intriguing planet.

Also, and most importantly, I love being in nature, experimenting with the elements and nature's very fruits, handcrafting, constructing and manifesting things. I'm always grateful for channelling my passion for the outdoors, materials, and know-how in foods and healthy cooking with inspiring volunteering exchanges. I have some knowledge and experience in carpentry, gardening, permacultural practices, bio-construction, handcrafting, hospitality, cooking, facilitating ceremonies and (ecstatic) dance/ meditation workshops, and self-development practices!

Overall, I’m eager to get active, shifting my skills more from the theoretical realm towards the manifest, immediate parts of life – doing construction work, cleaning, pruning, gardening, sewing seeds, cooking, painting, getting creative, weaving wristbands and dreamcatchers, in short: diversifying my experiences and expanding as a multi-faceted being in this rich life!
