Description

Hey there, i am a 30 year old Australian, a very open minded person, i love to exercise, do yoga, go on hikes through the nature and all that type of stuff. I am into healthy eating and healthy living, also like to have some fun and explore new things along the way.

i spent 4 years in my early 20s years traveling around the world, learning Spanish and Portuguese. also through Asia learning about yoga. In the past three years i have spent 2 years living across Asia and Europe, learning about natural building, living in communities, training tai chi, kung fu with Shaloin monks, as well as many hikes , also a lot of time spent meditating and deepening my yoga practice.
When i am not travelling i am living the sustainable life on my parents farm, i have just finished building enough garden beds to sustain my parents and some friends food for the next 6 months or so, i have planted out up to a 1000 trees , fruit trees, timber trees, natives, and chop and drop. we have two Syntropic gardens , two big permaculture style gardens, plus a few orchards and a more Traditonal clean market style garden. here we are almost fully self sufficient and most meals would be 90% or more from the farm its self, i have built a sauna and in the process of building a yoga Shala etc.

while traveling I have done quite alot of workaways, from bar tending, reception, to construction in the jungle using natural resources, natural building in portugual, and landscaping in Patagônia, building cob houses in the suburbs of Sydney etc. i am from a farming background in Central Queensland and have worked alot on the land and aswell and builders laborer through out the years. I am very willing to help and a fast learner.

now my passion is for sustainability living, and the healthy life style. in this, I look forward to meeting like minded people as I travel. i am currently taking a break from my parents farm here in the hinterland, as to meet more like minded people, and expand this network of conscious growth. i am keen to learn more as i realise there is so much to learn in this life and many ways to do things, i am also keen to share my knowledge and help out with like minded projects around the globe.

More details about your skills

i have worked on my parents organic farm a lot of my life, and in the construction industry for a few years as well, amungst alot of different similar jobs. Including working in various different hostels all through out Latin America and also teaching English. I have about 12months experience in volunteering with workaway and similar objectives.
