Mexico - from Jan 2025 until May 2025 View all
Description
We are Rob and Rhi, a couple from England currently working on permaculture farms in Costa Rica and Mexico from January - May 2025.
We have recently completed a 2-week permaculture course (PDC) at Finca Tierra in Costa Rica, where we have learned intensively about the core principles and methodologies. From February - May 2025 we will be in Mexico, where we would love to continue to develop our skills at permaculture-focused farms and projects.
Rob has a broad range of experience in design, project management, strategy, photography and fermentation-based preservation, and Rhi is a skilled craftsperson and has a range of experience working with wood, metal and wool, particularly in furniture making. We both have a deep curiosity for ecology and the relationship that the modern world has lost with food, and we are in the process of transitioning our lives and careers towards restoring this connection.
Rob has volunteered at 5 Workaway sites previously, both in Costa Rica and Canada, helping at a number of organic farms and off-grid sites. Rob can understand and speak a basic level of Spanish, and Rhi is currently an enthusiastic beginner, but we are both very committed to becoming fully conversational during our trip.
