Hey! I'm Dora, 27, from Ireland. I'm a friendly, kind, caring and chatty person. Although I have my introverted moments - as we all do I'm sure.
I was travelling in India and Nepal from November 2022 - May 2023. Since I’ve been home I’ve been having a lovely time tending to the beautiful nature here.
I have been doing a workaway in Ballingeary, just outside of Macroom, on a permaculture site since mid June. The main tasks have been making and turning hot compost, weeding, clearing the perimeter for fencing to keep deer out, cooking, cleaning, foraging, sowing and harvesting organic veg and herbs. Along with a few other creative jobs such as making tool belts from bike tires and old fabrics and sewing a tarp for a currach.
I worked as a nurse including training for about 7 years. I decided to leave in Nov 2021. It was a difficult choice to leave but I felt a powerful calling so I eventually made the decision to leave. As it turns out it was the best decision I've ever made.
I love a nature, the outdoors and sustainable/alternative ways of living. I am very aware of the dire state of the world we live in now but I have a firm knowing of the unimaginably bright future which I choose to focus on.
Since leaving nursing I left the city and moved to the countryside to surround myself with nature. I have studied about the menstrual cycle and menstrual reclamation and natural contraceptives. I completed a 200hr Hatha YTT in the north of India. I'm more than happy to share what I know with anyone who is interested!
As a side note - I’m very keen to practice ag caint as gaeliage. At the moment I’ve a pretty poor level but sure that’s where the practice comes in hopefully.
In April 2022 I volunteered in the gardens of a Buddhist centre, this was my first real experience of community living and I am hooked on the concept ever since. I would be open to volunteer opportunities with community living although I would be happy to volunteer with families/couples too. Kids would be a bonus!
I hope to eventually have my own plot of land, mostly off grid. A dream of mine has been to open a centre on this land that helps people reconnect with there true self. I want to empower people through nature with an emphasis on understanding that we are all our own best advocate/guide/teacher.
My goal at the moment is to learn as much as I can to make this dream into a reality!Centres d’intérêt
