Activities i am interested in:

looking for a community or farm stay in Colombia where I can learn more about growing food , share my love of cooking, be in nature, learn from traditional ways of life

Description

I travel slowly so I can connect with locals and learn from their way of life! Food, nature and music is how I connect with myself and the communities around me. Being in the kitchen, long distance hiking in the mountains, markets, slacklining and learning new creative skills bring me so much joy. I love being outside and living a simple natural life. Originally from Ireland but grew up in Morocco, and have spent my whole life moving around Europe, North Africa and South America- I'm adaptable, easy going, open minded and open hearted!
I'm a social person and love meeting new people but I am also very happy in silence and value lots of time alone in nature. I have lived in communities for many years so I understand the realities and needs of living with lots of different people. I am happy with very little materially - I don't need luxury!
