  • Description

    Hey there!
    During the last four years, I’ve been living in a homestead in the Iberian northwest, working to build self-sufficiency and autonomy. It’s been a journey full of learning, growing, and adapting. During this time, I’ve also hosted many volunteers and have learned a lot from both them and the experience- I’ve seen the challenges and joys that come with being a host, and perhaps this has given me a good understanding of what makes a great volunteer and host experience. Now, I’m very excited to experience the other side of the equation for a period as I embark on the next chapter of my life.

    I’m looking for meaningful connections, and I hope to meet friendly hosts and fellow travelers who are open to sharing stories, experiences, and ideas.
    While I’m not necessarily looking for any specific type of project, I would love to get involved in projects similar to the one I’ve been working on... Building a self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle is something that’s close to my heart, and I would be excited to share with and learn from anyone who is pursuing a similar vision :)
