Description

I find joy in the small trivial details of life love finding those little glimmers. I try to make them last by writing, painting and lino-printing. I enjoy hands on things in general, whether it’s creating and crafting or outdoors, gardening or building things.

I am also a very open minded and curious person, I love good chats and am interested in new perspectives, learning about different peoples lives and how they chose to spend it. I would definetely say I’m outgoing, love socialising and forming friendships, communities and learnign from one another. But I’m still very aware of everyone’s personal need for space and quiet time and am very easy going and mindful about other peoples homes and lives.

I volunteered in Portugal, renovating and painting murals in a public school, did some volunteering and housekeeping in Hostels. Back home in the Austrian alps I worked with children and tought them animation and stop motion and other creative bits and bobs.

I am always looking to make new experiences and connections, to meet fellow creatives and keep on learning about anything and everything.
