Descripción

A little about me……I am currently on a year long educational sabbatical immersing myself in experiences with people who live closely to the land/sea and outside of the normal societal constructs with the goal of having enough skills and knowledge to not have to rely on large corporations to keep myself healthy and living. I am of Italian & Croatian heritage but born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. Growing up I was heavily influenced by my Nonna with the traditions of slow & everything from scratch cooking and living. Over the years I have learnt many things from her including making tomato Passata, sausages, pickled veg and the list goes on. I studied interior architecture so lived spaces are very important to me, especially ones that function well and make things like cooking and sharing meals a special time. I also have a huge passion for natural building, although I am outside as often as possible I really believe the spaces we spend time in need to re create nature and nourish us - not to mention that the building industry is a massive source of landfill, I like the idea of a home being able to withstand time but eventually go back to the land and be nourishment. In recent years I have lived rurally and been blessed with beautiful soil to have a crack at growing my own produce which has been life affirming to say the least. I have a huge interest in permaculture and is a topic I have put many hours into learning about, recently completing a PDC at Terra Alta in Portugal. I follow permaculture principles in much of my life and think it's relevant to so much more than gardening. From March to May 2025 I completed an internship in organic farming at Tenuta Di Spannocchia where I had the privilege of experiencing the deep presence that comes from living and working in the same place. During this time I worked mainly on the vineyard but also spent many days feeding/caring for the 200 animals (cows, pigs,chickens) and helping in the vegetable garden and collecting wood for the furnace that heated all of our water.

I am a massive foodie as you can probably already tell. I believe growing, raising, preserving and cooking food in community is one of the most human things we can do and it can bring deep nourishment to your life in so many different ways. I would say my style of cooking and eating is ancestral & seasonal, I do a lot of fermenting of every kind (sourdough & lacot fermentation), make everything from scratch and use only whole foods supporting local farmers always! I eat meat but the entire animal, I have deep reverence for the animals I consume and make sure I am purchasing from a farmer that has ensured they have had a beautiful and authentic life. That reverence also includes eating the entire animal and making sure every last part is used. Death is a profound part of life and being intimate with it has allowed me to find more presence in my own.

I am very interested in all facets of health. I live a very low tox life and over a decade have managed to phase out all synthetic chemicals and materials from my life including the clothes that I wear, always searching for organic fabrics when possible. More recently I have become interested in quantum biology and how our environment has such a profound impact on our health.

I would say that I am a spiritual person who prioritises stillness and time alone in nature (with no phone). I love music, it brings a lot of joy into my life and helps me get into my body and out of my head. Other interests I have are herbalism, meditation, second hand stores and hand made goods ( it is rare that I buy anything new) and film photography, camping, swimming in natural bodies of water, learning from traditional cultures and remaining in a state of gratitude.

I have a strong work ethic and am no stranger to working in all climates outdoors, more about that below.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! :)

Que habilidades tienes?

In my own personal time I have learnt how to grow food (fruit, vegetables & medicinal herbs) organically using no dig methods from seed I have saved myself. I have a love and obsession for ancestral cooking using all parts of animals, fermenting (vegetables, fruit, beverages, sourdough), preserving and making everything from scratch.

Professionally I have been working in remote exploration for the last 5 years in the great sandy desert of Australia. I work in very remote locations (8 hour drive from nearest town) sleeping in a tent for two weeks at a time. My days are filled with various labour intensive tasks outdoors which I enjoy. This nature of remote work has seen my ability to remain flexible, calm, and focused become strengthened. Being remote and immersed in a natural environment is something I cherish. I have also had experience pruning vineyards during brutal winters on the south west coast of Australia.
