Description
Hello Friends of the earth,

Thanks for stopping by my page! "Mountain person for sunrise and beach baby for sunset"

Reduce, reuse and recycle is my mantra for life. Trying to live a minimalistic life by taking only as little possible. I try as much possible to educate the society around me about the importance of sustainable lifestyle.

Ex finance analyst, have recently left job to travel full time for a while. I am a small-town girl, born and brought up in India. I have travelled to few countries outside India and have had the opportunity of experiencing different cultures. Coming to my experience as a volunteering so far, I have worked with permaculture farms, NGO and hostels. Vibrant and rich experience at each of the places.

My roots go back to agriculture and farming therefore getting my hands dirty has always been part of life. Always on the lookout for sustainable living methods especially plastic free life. I like to understand soil, want to explore ways of protecting it.

I am a certified Yoga teacher and have taught yoga in few places I have volunteered before. Couple of hikes in mighty Himalayan mountains thought me lesser you have happier your soul is.

Vegan when it comes to food, but I respect everyone's food choices!

Love to read books, listening to music and anything that's to do with nature, animals, culture and colors interests me. I make time to volunteer with NGO's and self-helping communities around me whenever possible. Just a happy cheerful girl trying to find her way in this chaotic world.

Namaste🙏🏽

Swathi was a joy to have had in our team! She has a great sense of humor, is autonomic, learns quickly and is contributing to a loving and fun atmosphere. She adapted super easy to the natural environment and obviously really enjoyed her time here from the 1st minute she came until she left after 3,5 weeks.
Swathi, thank you so much for joining… read more

Paradise Island and Beautiful souls!

I was coming from slightly bitter experience but everything felt right when I landed at M'pai bay. Carling and Ben (Managers) were so warm and welcoming I immediately felt like home. I spent about 4 weeks teaching yoga, working behind the bar and best part was working on the garden. It was such a pleasant… read more

Swathi, came to our hostel to help us out with social media. And in just couple of days we figured out how incredibly talented she is in terms of photography and videos. And definitely helped us on our social media page in terms of followers and engagement. She also helped us in our reception and did an amazing work there too. She has a great… read more

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and that's exactly what happened to me when I entered this little piece of land in Goa. Arun, Rachel, John and all the members of the hostel were amazingly friendly, supportive and encouraging that I never for a moment felt alone. There is so much freedom given to volunteers. I was able to… read more

I volunteered at Laura's garden I can pretty much say in the week of December 2022 for 2 weeks. It was a rich experience learning so much about permaculture, food garden, seeds and the science behind Kombucha. I worked in the garden most the time where I filled up the empty beds, cleaning up the weeds and collecting seeds. Apart from that I had a… read more

Swati is such a sweetheart. When she came, we were in the middle of the transition of our work but she was still willing to help with whatever needed. She even got some second hand clothes which is much appreciated. We had a blast, hung out with friends and also got work done. She is one of the two Indian volunteers to come help us from the time… read more

It was such a great experience volunteering. As they are in the process of acquiring new place and getting it ready there wasn't much of a work, but I was able to contribute in a little way possible with getting some woods painted etc. Work they do has left an impression in my heart and my urge to contribute to it more in the coming days.
