Description
For the last three years I have been and continue to be in this eye opener journey!
I got to meet and stay with some magnificent people and families, that have visions for a more sustainable future based on love, delicious food and healthy communities.
Sometimes it is a struggle and everything seems to be opposite of what we do, but there are those reassuring moments that make everything worth it!
So my goal is to get involved in projects that aim for a better tomorrow and in the meantime document these adventures and share with others through blogging and photography.

Some things about me:
My two most favourite things to do is putting seeds in the ground - watching them grow and close up photography of bugs.
In love with food, obviously.
I am a hard worker but also know when to stop, have been in the simplest of conditions and am pretty content to just be around nature.
My ultimate goal is to oneday get my hands on some pretty horrible and neglected land and make it a jungle.

My addictions:
salt, tahini, honey and I don’t do well when olive oil is finished…

Sani is an absolut star! We loved having her with us on our land. She is the nicest, easygoing person, hardworking, fun and super motivated. She helped us create a fence for our vegetable garden and dedicated her ideas, inspiration and patients to the project. We hope to see her again and wish her all the best!
