Description
hello, everybody... My name is Ria, I am a Storyteller a writer, and I teach Shamanism.
For many years I had my own business as a Storyteller and one day I decided to change everything and start traveling and writing my own stories.
During the past 9 years, I'm traveling around Europe, I love it and don't have any plans to stop.....
Traveling gives me endless inspiration to write and whenever I have the opportunity I love to do Storytelling events and teach Shamanic knowledge.
I love nature and I'm always looking for Old Trees -that's the best place for me to sit and write.
volunteering is a great way to meet lovely people and travel, in most places where I have been a volunteer I had a lovely experience.
I have lots of experience as a Dog/Cat Sitter and I have a profile on Trustedhousesitters.
I am happy to do different tasks, I can help with child care or work with elders.
Cooking is one of my main hobbies - I'm cooking especially Vegan Mediterranean food.
I love animals and I'm happy to work with them as long as they are free animals and not in cages.
I'm happy to do any other maintenance task that fits my abilities.
As a volunteer, I did lots of painting, gardening,.. not professional, yet -fast learner and efficient worker.
I love organic gardening and I have lots of experience in this area.
I'm Vegan
I don't smoke or drink alcohol
I love socializing and I'm happy to have my time alone too.
Looking forward to meeting my next hosts and having a lovely time together.

Ria has lots of grounded spiritual knowledge and I certainly recommend her visit if you're floundering in that area. She took some amazing photos of my place which I really appreciated. She's a tidy volunteer that won't disturb your household. She knows a lot about healthy vegan cooking and the kitchen is clearly her domain :)

I stayed for a week with Romana and it was lovely, she has a beautiful house that looks like taken from the legends.
We did some traditional renovating, and had lovely talks and some laughs.
She makes gorgeous wreaths that are very inspirational.

Ria stayed with me for three weeks and it was a really good experience. Part from an excellent help with the constructing of the greenhouse, she showed me many new ways of making vegan food, and had a good hand with the huskydog. We also made trips in the surroundings and had a good time together. - Hope to see you again some time!
