Descripción
Hello
After wonderful initial experience with volunteering on small homsteads via workaway a few years ago I decided to take a plunge and spend 2024 on further exploring off grid, sustainable ways of life in rural Spain and Portugal. My goal is to learn skills necessary to start my own transition to off grid, sustainable, self reliant living. For the last few years I grew some of my food in my back garden in London and I absolutely loved it. I'm passionate about anything related to gardening, getting my hands dirty working on the land (organic or permaculture informed).
I am also a passionate hiker and wherever I travel I always make time to do some rambling around.
I worked as a massage therapist in London for many years. I'm also studying Somatic Experiencing method so I may work in the field of trauma therapy. I have also a strong background in field ecology - many years working on various projects in the wild.
I am looking for volunteering opportunities on organic farms, eco-projects and retreat centres (meditation/yoga).
Some of the key words which tell sth about my interests:
hiking, massage therapy, permaculture (PDC in 2022), prehistory, ecology, 5 rhythms dance, botany, gardening, wildlife photography, self-enquiry, wild camping, canoeing, natural material building, world music, authentic relating, trauma therapy, foraging

Gardening
During my other volunteer works I helped with building a fence, building with stones and clay, picking almonds and hazelnuts, mulching, composting, planting, digging, laying wooden floors etc.
I cook daily for myself, mostly vegan food - I can make a decent daal, soups, veggie stews from scratch and my new discovery - arepas :)
Massage therapy (my work)
I'm very enthusiastic and hard working and learn fast :-)

It was a very good experience to host Michal. He is a very pleasant person. Respectful, educated and helpful.
Michal stayed in my place for two weeks. He was helping with gardening work, fixing a roof, cleaning brambles and olive trees, organizing spaces... and also he had many good ideas about the place. He has a good knowledge of the… read more

I absolutley loved my 2 weeks stay at Javi's finca. The place is very quiet in the middle of the pine forest with a river at the border which is great for relaxing among trees or splashing when it gets hot. There is rather big vegetable garden, olive and fruit trees orchard and the place which will be future food forest. The animals - the dog and… read more

I had great time at Heidi's place where I stayed for a couple of weeks. She's a wonderful host, always making sure you're all right and your needs are met. Flexible in terms of when and how the work is done - more goal oriented. She's also a great cook. We mostly did gardening like strimming, mulching, building tomatoes support etc.
The place is… read more

Mike stayed with me for a couple of weeks prior to attending a permaculture gathering with friends and neighbors at The Quinta Project. He brought some great information and permaculture skills to the farm and we enjoyed a nice balance of work like strimming, cutting wood, preparing garden beds for transplanting, and mulching with time to enjoy… read more

I had hectic time after staying at the finca so didn't have time to leave a comment earlier.
I had wonderful time at Will&Ben place last September. I stayed with them for one week. We planted a microforest for a windbreak. It was hard but very satisfying work. The guys were very easy going and supportive. I felt very comfortable there. Their life… read more

I stayed with Michi&Aray for three weeks and I wish I could have stayed for longer. The place is stunning, especially when you look for nature, peace and quiet and mountain views. Michi&Aray were very easy going, relaxed and supportive. We had a lot of laughter together. We made a good team with other workawayers too. We were building an outside… read more

Mike was a pleasure to host. He was a methodical and sensible worker, putting his hands to all sorts of tasks around the farm. But he was also an easy and enjoyable guest who fitted in well with other visitors and was excellent company. We would welcome seeing him again if his path ever brought him in this direction.

I stayed here for two weeks and I really enjoyed it. I liked chats with Andrea and Jeroen about life on the farm. They are very eager to share their knowledge. I learned a lot of new things like eg making a hot compost heap, lime based mortar techniques. The hosts are very friendly and give you quite a lot of flexibility about work tasks. The… read more
