Description

Hi
I'm Katie and i have just returned from 6 months travelling in South America where I volunteered across permaculture and gardening projects, met some amazing friends, and began to learn Spanish.

Horticulture/Gardening - In the UK I worked at a tropical plant nursery and am trained in horticulture. I am keen to get stuck in with gardening and permaculture, from cultivation of edible or medicinal plants or making a garden look beautiful. So far I have volunteered for 9 weeks gardening with nature in mind at a butterfly garden, and a week working on a permaculture project levelling terraces and weaving bamboo. I also spent time in Nicaragua improving my Spanish at an eco Spanish School and volunteering with reforestation.

Art - I have a degree in Art and have also previously been self employed exhibiting and undertaking commissions. I have painted window murals to prevent birds flying into glass. I also cut, sanded, enscribed with a pyrography pen and illustrated signs with plant names for a garden. I love to draw upon inspiration provided by nature. If you have any art projects in mind I would love to get involved 🎨 🪴

I love meeting people from all around the world and learning languages and traditions. I love living in social, shared environments that allow for cultural exchange especially when making dinner!

I spent two weeks at a language school in Nicaragua to begin learning Spanish and am really keen to progress this further! :)

I love learning about wildlife great and small and am not afraid to be close to nature 🦂 and to live off grid. 🌱I love being out in nature and hiking, and spotting cool bugs, birds and plants, and I appreciate the beauty in nature great and small.
