Description
Hi we are Laura and Carlo - graduated in energy engineering and computer science applied to sustainable topics and currently working for a reforestation organization in the rainforest in Darién, Panama. We are open minded, love to learn new skills, especially related to construction, low-tech solutions, to share experiences, and would like to connect with like-minded people through Workaway!
I, Carlo, have a knack for tinkering, and often work on DIY projects involving sewing, woodworking, metalwork, 3D-printing and so on. I have lots of energy and like to spend my days doing all kinds of sports, be it rock climbing, surfing, running, BJJ, volleyball, and learning new skills (here in Panama net weaving, pottery, and how to cook the perfect pot of beans). I spent a lot of time at my grandparents rural house repairing things, and generally have a lot of experience with living abroad.
I, Laura, worked 1/2 year in rural andine communities in Bolivia and have knowledge in WASH-projects, building clean biomass cooking stoves and would love to dive deeper into the field of agroforestry and permaculture. I love being outside in nature, to work with animals (I did horsebackriding for 10 years) and have no problems in getting my hands dirty, I volunteered for example on a construction side in Nepal with the disaster relief organization All hands and hearts.Interests
