Description

Hello! We are Matthew and Elise, a couple from Canada.

We've decided to spend a couple years living abroad, meeting people and exchanging ideas about living and working collectively and collaboratively with everyone and everything around us. We love spending time outside, connecting with people, learning new things and new perspectives and developing our abilities to live more in harmony with nature.

We’re looking for opportunities to learn more about permaculture, natural building and organic farming practices but we are happy for any opportunity to learn and expand our minds.

Matthew in particular loves languages, building things, cooking, music, and art. He is adventurous, curious, industrious, easy going, and open minded. Matthew studied civil engineering and has worked for a few years planning and designing buildings.

Elise is also interested in herbalism, making natural cosmetics, and has recently been experimenting with making perfumes. Being involved in the process of growing, harvesting or processing herbs or plants for any of these uses would be really interesting for her!

We’re both hardworking, passionate yet easygoing people and would love the opportunity to connect! Through workaway we'd like to learn how to live more harmoniously with nature. I've become interested in natural building and self-sustaining through farming.
