  • Descripción

    A human, an artist, yoga instructor, amateur photographer and gardener with a love for the simplest things in life.

    I grew up on a farm, studied mechanical engineering at university, and have experienced and sweated through both mental and physical labor, and as a result am diligent, hard working, open minded and have acquired a large range of skills. I take a proactive approach to learning and I strive to grow from everything I do and every interaction I have.

    I am passionate about nature conservation, ecology, sustainability and I love to garden, hike, travel, tinker, read and learn. To paint, write, build and create. If my hands are going to get dirty doing something... I'm in!
    I also spend time daily practicing yoga, meditating, and simply enjoying that which arises in silence.

    I feel incredibly grateful to be South African, surrounded by so many beautiful cultures and people. Meeting people with a different life experience is such a powerful way to learn and gain perspective on our own lives. One of my main goals is simply to be a helpful and supportive member of any community who would welcome me. But even closer to my heart is to create a deeper connection and understanding with the people I meet.

    My formal experience with volunteering in the past includes helping out at the local SPCA and working with a mobile soup kitchen to deliver food to those in need. Additionally, I've done various construction/renovation, research and gardening projects.

  • Que habilidades tienes?

    Gardening and working with plants, I can grow from seeds, cuttings and transplants (vegetables, herbs, trees and flowers). I do the intensive digging (only if it is a new bed), carry 20L buckets of water to water my own vegetables as I use rain water from tanks, prepare beds with layering and can gently nurture plants back to full health.
    I have been learning how to rehabilitate degraded soil and am currently in the process of learning about herbal properties of indigenous plants and would love to learn more!)

    Drawing, writing and photography. Basically content creating. "Adverts", posters and creating a visual representation of complex topics.
    As a result of my artistic eye I am very thorough when it comes to cleaning.

    Experience with handling and caring for a variety of domestic farm animals and pets. (Cows, chickens, goats, donkeys, limited interaction with horses. Dogs, cats, fish and birds).

    I practice and can teach/facilitate yoga and meditation.

    I have helped renovate, prepare and paint houses and classrooms in the past, as well as a painted a few personal murals. I've mended holes in walls, fitted plugs and lights, connected taps, built shelves, very basic electrical diagnostics and fixes, helped erect fences and temporary structures, etc.

    I am also very capable when it comes to technology, the internet, basic computer diagnostics and understanding mechanical systems. I can fix basic problems with cars.

  • Algo más...

    I am very spiritual and believe that ALL life is sacred. I'm also quite introverted so I always spend a decent amount of my time with myself. If I'm comfortable around you, you're friendly and open minded, conversations are easy.
