Happiness comes to me when I spend time working with my hands in nature, I am motivated by learning more about organic agricultural practices and connecting my life's journey with our planet.

What else ...
I'll start with... I love creating.

I have spent my 20s as a digital nomad traveling the world. After being to +30 countries and 5 continents... (not that the numbers really mean anything), I've come to learn about myself and life... and death. Throughout this time I've grown a love for music; I will play anything that makes sounds. I travel with several unique instruments, and play traditional Tibetan 'Singing Bowls'.

Mostly, I enjoy my quiet time. Peace through meditation is part of my life. I want to be with nature from dawn to dusk.

Beyond this, I am an entrepreneur and owner of Life UNpacked, a Canadian plastic-free products company. My team and I empower people to eliminate plastic and live with the earth.

Left by host (Organic permaculture farm ...) for Workawayer (Mitchell)

Oh no! I am filled with sadness and my heart is weighted with sorrow as Mitchell prepares to leave. His departure brings about a deep sense of loss, as he has brought a level of happiness into our lives that I could not have imagined or even dreamed of. Mitchell's daily practice of playing his guitar, accompanied by his beautiful voice, has… read more enriched our lives with lovely, educational, spiritual, and motivational songs.

Mitchell's talents extended beyond music. He was also a great motivational speaker, inspiring us with his words of wisdom and encouragement. His presence alone had the power to uplift our spirits and motivate us to strive for our dreams. Mitchell's positivity and passion were infectious, always reminding us to pursue our passions with unwavering determination.

Not only was Mitchell a talented musician and speaker, but he was also a skilled gardener. His willingness to help with countless farm duties was truly remarkable. Mitchell generously lent his hand in tending to our crops, ensuring the health and well-being of our community's sustenance. His green thumb and dedication transformed our fields into bountiful sources of nourishment.

In addition to his musical and agricultural contributions, Mitchell left behind a legacy of generosity. Before his departure, he graciously gifted us with a daily supply of milk from a cow, eggs from chickens, and the companionship of a rabbit. These gifts have not only provided sustenance but have also created a sense of unity within our community.

As a community, we recognize how fortunate and blessed we were to have hosted such a selfless and generous man like Mitchell. His impact on our lives cannot be measured, as he has touched our souls with his music, words, and acts of kindness. The memories we have created together will forever be cherished.

Though we bid farewell to Mitchell now, our hearts overflow with gratitude for everything he has bestowed upon us. We wish him a safe journey as he embarks on new adventures. And we eagerly await the day when he will return to us, as his presence has greatly enriched our lives and community.

Mitchell, dear brother, may your journey be filled with joy, success, and new experiences. When the time is right, we eagerly anticipate your return, as our community will always be your welcoming home. Farewell for now, and until we meet again, thank you for the countless blessings you have bestowed upon us.
Tunasema Asante Sana🙏

Felix's permaculture project is probably one of the most authentic workaway experiences you can have while traveling through East Africa.

I spent 2 months with Michelangelo last summer, and it was absolutely incredible.

He is such a genuine and passion person who works hard to raise his goats and make the "world greatest goat cheese"... you'll have to go help him to discover this hidden gem for yourself.

The house was basic and a living relic of past times, built in the 1700s...… read more
