Description
Hello potential hosts!
I am five years into a very random traveling tale. Along the way I have garnered some permaculture and animal minding experience from WorkAway projects in the Mediterranean and Australia, and developed a real appetite for learning to live with the land.

I'm a massage therapist by trade and have done some admin work in a humanitarian context. I've basic woodwork and cob building experience and I'm studying Integrative Herbalism. I loveee to cook! And play the piano!! I've got my eye on land of my own in the not-so-distant future... so it's an absolute pleasure to learn your systems, mistakes and successes. I feel like a little bee getting pollen!

I am a calm, grounded presence (with an inordinately loud laugh and 4/10 dance moves). I am emotionally attuned, perceptive and take responsibility for the way I experience the world, and I really value these qualities in hosts, too.

Over a few exchanges, I've learned through experience that the best ones have a spark of really wanting to know each other and share skills and life experience with pride and joy. If I am just Backpacker #403 or you need someone to pair 1000 socks, I will probably not be satisfied by our exchange. Equally, I bring my heart, curiosity and love to your projects. If it's really these things that fill you most from exchanges, I am sure we will be very productive and have lots of fun! ;)

Nice to meet you! 🌼🌼🌼

Ellora is a vibrant young person with the ability to quickly adapt to any situation. It was a joy to have her here for 3 weeks. She is a quick learner and an excellent cook. Don't hesitate to host Ellora if you have the chance.

Ellora is an enthusiastic and joyful worker, and always punctual. She probably cleaned more animal poo than anyone wants, both in local dairy and at the wildlife refuge up the road, but kept smiling. She adapted well to the situation here, is fit and works hard, also helped restoring the 'Middle Garden', cut beeswax wraps, clean etc. And her… read more

Left by Workawayer () for host (Learn about gardening, ...)

Here was a place where I found the space, the tools and the facilitation to really develop new skills and aspects of myself! I began to regularly play piano for the first time in a long while, completed a handful of woodworking projects and created a dozen tinctures and balms with plants from the garden! I also enjoyed so much the opportunity to… read more

Dear Ellora
It took me a long time to write this review for you. I apologize.
It is much easier to write something for an average helper then for someone outstanding like you! It very easily sounds saucy.
Anyway, Ellora stayed with us nearly 3 months during 2 visits. She did stand out of the long row of helpers we had over the years. She did all… read more

Ellora stayed with us for about a month in the spring of 2022. We are very grateful for the help she gave us. She had a remarkable learning curve in everything she did. If that feedback was about the person that arrived here it would be significantly different. However she progressed very fast with everything. We believe that she achieved that… read more

Some time has now passed since my stay at DPA's home-farm, and I can truly see that I have grown there. Andreas and Peggy value most human relationships and being well within oneself, and this is radiated outwards into a beautiful, peaceful little paradise where everything is welcomed. In my month there, I planted infinite lettuce, baked bread,… read more

Though I had a mostly very pleasant experience at the food forest, I feel I must be responsible to the WorkAway community and leave an honest feedback...

I left Ali's place three days before I had planned because of an issue with bed bugs. This came up twice during my 2-week stay. Ali was kind to get medicine the first time, and to spray the… read more

Ellora has been a great asset for this project. A totally competent and reliable volunteer. One of that volunteers you can be totally confident about her work and about her commitment to what she is doing. Totally recommended to any host!

This was a fantastic first WorkAway for me.
Things to be mindful of: it is cold inside the volunteer house (fireplace in lieu of central heating) & in the winter, bucket showers can be tough (but this is all detailed on Javier's profile).

The pros of my experience were many: Javier and the other WorkAwayers were fantastic - Javier has a gentle,… read more
