Description

Hi,

Leo is a 35 year-old chef originally from Brazil though I'm also an Australian citizen.
I've been living in Australia for the last 14 years, mainly in the Gascoyne region in WA. Then Tasmania and Far North Queensland.
Despite being passionate about cooking, I am also very interested in gardening, nature, animals and would like to learn more about permaculture, living simply, with a small footprint on the planet.
Above all, I am passionate about the ocean. I'm a avid free diver and spearfisherman, very conscious about what I take from the sea. For the last 12 years, fish and seafood in general have been the backbone of my diet.
I've always been in contact with people from all over the world and have loved every bit of it. I strongly value my background and culture but have this feeling of being simply a citizen of the world.
I am willing to sacrifice time in the water to experience and learn new things, as well as sharing the knowledge I have.

Kirst is 34 and grew up in regional Victoria before spending most of my 20's living in Canada. I love being in nature and like to spend a lot of my time outdoors hiking, camping and swimming. I also love being creative and do a lot of drawing and painting. I'm passionate about healthy living and do lots of yoga, meditation, breathwork, reading and healthy eating. I want to learn more about growing my own food and permaculture with the hope of one day living self-sustainably. I love to travel and meet new people and am pretty much up for trying and learning anything. I'm currently learning Portuguese and speak some French after having gone to school there for a little while when I was younger.

More details about my language interests
Kirst speaks a little French and would love to improve while Leo can understand most but would like to learn more. Leo can teach Portuguese as it's his mother language but hasn't got experience in teaching itself. He would love to improve his Italian too! We're always up for learning new things.
