Description
Hello,
My name is Laia, I was born in the Mediterranean coast of Spain in 1985. Since 2008 I'm living between the Azores islands and the rest of the world.
I’m very interested in alternative ways of living, food sovereignty, natural building, self-sufficiency and I have a lot of experience helping in this kind of projects.
I also work professionally as a chef. I cooked for retreats, festivals, restaurants, hostels, boat charters,etc.
I have a vast experience cooking natural and vegetarian dishes but also with animal products. I absolutely love fermenting foods and drinks.
What I like more in the kitchen is the creativity that comes to me and also to eat the food :)
I love growing my own vegetables, hunt for mushrooms or going to fish. The best meal is prepared with what nature give us.
I have myself a project of permaculture and natural building in the Azores islands where I spend time when I’m not traveling and also have volunteers who come to help me sometimes.
When I travel I do it very light and pretty slow.
I love to combine my trips with working in different countries, that give me really nice experiences.
I have a strong sens of responsibility and always try to do my best when I work.
