Description

Hi Workaway familia!

My name is Leila,
I have been travelling around the world for nearly 2 years.
I am Spanish, Libyan, born and raised in London.
I made the decision to pack up my life there in 2023, get out of the city
And have been travelling ever since, meeting the world, meeting myself.

Now seeking a warm, artistic, foodie, hearty cultural place to call home.
Closer to my spirit and soul.
I am an artist, writer explorer.
I love to cook for myself, for people,
I work with herbs, my heart is deeply connected with earth and the land.
I find peace and inspiring teachings when I'm in nature.

I love to be around warm, creative environments sharing culture, discussion, art, music, storytelling.

Working Experience
Before this nomadic life, I lived and worked in London in the creative industries, as a graphic designer, filmmaker, artist, designer. I have worked on festival site art design, opening hotels, restaurants, social media photography.
I am a creative, an ideas person, and enjoy working as part of a team.

What else ...

I’m a dedicated and hardworking person, genuinely invested in giving my best to any project I’m part of. I’m easygoing and enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life. Kindness and politeness are important values wherever I go. I enjoy conversations and hearing about people's life journeys if they wish to share.

I enjoy explorations in astrology, psychology, spiritual paths, dharma talks... but I don't push these conversations onto people. I like to explore health and natural remedies, cooking, and connecting with animals. A lover of tea, I appreciate the simple rituals that make life rich.

I’m also eager to expand my skills and knowledge in areas like permaculture, environmentalism, and sustainable living practices. Learning about off-grid living, building, and self-sufficiency is something I’m passionate about as I explore ways to live more harmoniously with the Earth. I'd love to learn about broadcasting, podacsting and radio.
