Description

Hiya I'm Lucy, from Australia, on a slow and peaceful journey around the world, visiting old friends and making new friends.

I'm a qualified yoga teacher (500 hours)(though I'm still working on my formal experience :D ), I enjoy meditation and breathing techniques (and supporting others to learn these), cooking (especially for others), walks, hikes, learning (anything really), being in the garden, being with animals, photography...

I'm on a kind of 'slow-down' trip at the moment, starting in Thailand for a couple of months (filled with yoga, meditation and amazing food), have just spent the past month jumping between friends' houses in Europe (and a month eating in Italy), and now I'm ready/wanting to slow down and build a bit more structure for a few weeks, by supporting a Workaway project/hostel/activities for 4-5 hours a day, while having time to practice my other little hobbies - and make some great friends doing it.

When I return to Melbourne (at some currently unknown date), I am hoping to buy some land (though philosophically I don't believe one can 'own' land, but that's a discussion for later), and build a mud house, a permaculture garden, and be as self-sustaining and community-supporting as possible. As such, I would love love the opportunity to spend time in a sustainable farming/gardening/yoga/meditation/intentional community etc etc project.

I did a couple of Workaways back in about 2015! (I had some references from these experiences, but they aren't appearing on my account now unfortunately?!). I also spent about 10 days in the middle of Italy giving one-on-one yoga lessons, painting the guest bedroom, and cooking.

Back in Melbourne, I'm a social worker and university tutor/teacher (teaching about justice and law for undergrad social work students), but really I just want to cook all day and move my body (preferably around a beautiful garden or landscape ahah).

I speak Spanish with pretty okay fluency (am ever learning), very basic French and very very basic Arabic.

I've got a lot of experience of living in shared houses across the world, a little experience in intentional communities, and am also on 'CouchSurfing' and have hosted and been hosted - so I'm hoping I'm a respectful and tidy guest, with a good sense of the value in sharing time and also personal time.
