Description

Hello!!

I'm Tegs, a solo traveller from Scotland. I am currently hitchiking around Latin America! I have spent a lot of my life living in permaculture and land based communities, surrounding my self with people that are like minded, free spirited and up for getting things done!

I have experience in cob house building, after spending 3 weeks on a Permaculture community in Argentina. I'd love to further this skill, as well as furthering my carpentry skills!

Last year I spent 5 months in Asia travelling Thailand, India and Sri Lanka, and now feel like I have been taken over with a travel bug that doesn't want me to stop exploring the world and learning from others.

I spend most of my time outside, in Scotland I live very rurally, surrounded by trees and hills. This is what makes me the happiest. I spend a lot of time in the running waters that surround the area I live in, I love the craft of herbalism, and I am not shy of hard work around eco building ,garden art and DIY.

I also love to dance, create music, connect, share my skills and passion with others. I love to cook, my home growing up was an open door to friends and family so cooking for large groups is not something I am a stranger to.

I care for the planet I walk upon, it is a sanctuary and I believe community is the way to find harmony.

More details about your skills

I studied Sustainable development in university, and have a lot of experience living off grid with solar energy. I do love working with the land, with animals and building spaces that are eco friendly and low impact on the planet.
Growing up in various communities I got to learn a lot from those around me. I am handy with a drill, I find projects around making things incredibly exciting and fulfilling. I spent a year living in Portugal, and much of my experience staying on eco-projects was around gardening, sign writing and also childcare.
I spent 8 months working in a bakery, spend a lot of time baking for friends and family and really enjoy this process. I am used to working with seasonal crops too as my mum has a small farm with cows and food growing, so using what we have to hand is also something I am not a stranger too.
I am incredibly motivated and when given a task am very good at just getting on with it. I have some skills when it comes to carpentry (not a huge amount but this is something I would love to practise in).
I spend a lot of time foraging, and have a lot of skills (specifically around Scottish plants and mushrooms) with identifying my plants, trees etc... I have done a bit of fermentation, this is something else I would love to delve in to deeper.
I have had a lot of practise in creative exploration. Over summer I work at Scottish festivals and this is mostly in decor and building of the festivals. Creating murals, garden art and painting are all things I have experience in and feel comfortable with.
I have looked after donkeys and chickens for years and love to work with animals

I have also ran Womens meditation circles in Scotland and love to share this skill, I love circus skills too, teaching and learning!
