Description

Hey there:)
My name is Flora (26), originally from Budapest, Hungary, but I have been living abroad since 8 years. Firstly, based in Berlin and for the last 3 years in Amsterdam. I lived nomad for a few years in between mostly in South Europe (Spain, France, Italy, Portugal) and Asia. I speak English, Hungarian a bit of german and spanish.
I have lots of experience in tourism and hospitality, but I would like to shift away from it, as my main passion lies in nature and social well-being.
I worked in the kitchen as a plant-based chef, and also did a yoga-teacher training in India. I have some experience teaching ( both in surf camps and yoga studios) this is something I am happy to pick up again. :)
I recently finished my Bachelor degree in Sociology, and a minor in Psychology. My thesis focused on Agroecology, Degrowth and generally how to live a simple life. I am looking forward to connecting to projects related to environmentalism and alternative ways of living. I am dreaming about building my own house (hopefully learning about biconstruction) with my own garden, as away from capitalism as I can. :)
I have some experience in agriculture and gardening, and this is where I would like to deepen my knowledge. I am fascinated about plants, food, people, feelings, mountains and just life in general.
About me as a person:
I love climbing, hiking, traveling, yoga , dancing, meditation (did 2 Vipassana in the past). I love living in a community (curently living in a ommunity with 16people), and generally a social person. I love cooking, I have been plant-based since 10 years and also worked in the kitchen many times. I am passionate about activism, both related to climate change or social well-being.
I was volunteering for Greenpeace Hungary for 5 years, and recently been involved with Aseed (an organization working for food and seed sovereignty).

Some seasonal jobs i did:
- Portugal surf camp
- Teaching yoga and working at the restarunat in an eco-stay Saraya, Goa
-Festival build-up construction/painting and decoration
- Harvesting (agricolture farms in France and Italy.
- currently working at a community project- plant-based activist kithcen (De Sering in Amsterdam)


Right now, I am mostly interested in two kinds of projects:
- gardening /permaculture /agroecology /biconstruction related projects (or off-grid)
(an additional interest would be to learn about the process of olive oil and coffee)
- marine conservation/ ocean conservation / scuba-diving / sailing or anything related to sea-life and the ocean

More details about your skills

I have plenty of interest and hobby's so i can literally help you out with almost anything.

I grew up in the outskirts where we planted our own veggies,we built our house,so i am not new to gardening.But now i live in the city after Budapest even at a bigger one... Berlin haha. However i help out sometimes at community gardens.

I've been vegan for 4years, i can cook very well. i can share some hungarian recipes as well if you are interested in that. I love animals so so much!! This is one of the reasons i chose this lifestyle. I had a dog for 14years:) so i can take care of animals too. In Berlin i did some dog-walkings too.

I used to play in different instruments, now all i can do is sing or dance:) Dancing is my other passion besides travelling.I do contemporary and hip-hop, house and vogue, recently got into hooping and roller skating.

I was volunteering for Greenpeace for 2 years ,where i helped in different tasks. We held events in kindergartens ,festivals. I translated ,managed the facebook page for a while. We planted trees ,had many many excursions. I am also helping an NGO where we cook and distribute food for homeless people in Budapest and another one which is called Open Doors, that concentrate on the refugee crisis. We held intercultural events about different cultures.

I also love writing ( currently on a mission to do a website and i am working in a poem book for about 2 years now).

I love nature and hiking, taking long walks, i use my bicycle every day to commute.

I am highly interested in environment related problems ,i want to continue my studies in sustainable development and ecology/ biology.
