Description
I am 22 and graduated from university May 2020. I spent most of 2020 and 2021 volunteering at various permaculture/biodynamic/organic farms and homesteads across Europe. I have a background in Sustainable Development and wanted to have hands-on experience learning about small-scale regenerative agriculture. I am currently working/living at a Sustainably-focused Inn in Mendocino, CA. I am also finishing applying to MA programs related to Environmental Policy. I intend to spent the Winter/Spring of 2022 pursuing unique, new opportunities before I leave for graduate school.

I love being outdoors, meeting new people, and trying new things. I am particularly passionate about ecological farming methods, mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and holistic living and wellness. I am also a big animal lover. I have been vegetarian for 13 years and vegan for 5 (but I am flexible with veganism while traveling). I am interested in any opportunity to experience a new culture, learn a new skill, and/or help out :-)

I am an open-minded, easy-going person. I feel most alive when I am outside of my comfort zone and around new, diverse groups of people.

Bartek and Marta are thoughtful hosts, and I really enjoyed my time at this project. In just over three years they have developed an inspiring permaculture project. They are both super knowledgeable about a variety of topics (including but not limited to: holistic living, natural remedies, ecological farming/regenerative agricultural practices,… read more

Julia is very nice and polite person, who respect home rules. She is really responsible and she isn't afraid of hard work on a farm. She was taking care of chickens and small plants, planting trees and veggies. She was engaged in all the tasks witch she had to do. Julia is also eager to learn about permaculture. We had very nice time together and… read more

During her stay with us Julia has become a heartwarming friend, cooperator, „family member“, just a person you wish to stay friends with forever.
Julia is deeply reliable, loving, and caring for every living being in a most responsible manner: for the humans, cats, ducks, chicken, horses, vegetables, flowers, herbs, trees…

I could write an entire 30 page, single spaced essay about why I love it here. It seems as though the more times I try to write about or explain my extraordinary experience, the more I realize I have to say. So, as I will only ever scratch the surface of expressing the beauty, magic, and love the emanates from this place, I leave future/potential… read more

I had a wonderful two weeks at the farm with Linda, Jelle, and the rest of their family. The farm itself is very beautiful, and I really enjoyed seeing all the fresh produce they grow (I also visited in December at the end of the harvest, so I imagine it is incredible in the Summer/Fall). The atmosphere is very positive and warm, and the work is… read more

We had a lovely experience with Julia. She was helping a lot in our tasks. She was listening, and also she had good initiatives. We had a perfect time with her, and she is part of the family! She is a sensitive person and trustable—an ideal host.

I am so grateful for my time spent with this beautiful family. Karen and Gareth were my first hosts and I could not have had a better experience. They are both such kind, hard working, passionate people, with a lot of wisdom and knowledge to share. I truly enjoyed all of our discussions, and I learned a lot regarding regenerative… read more

My experience in Brenac was beyond anything I could have imagined. In just threw weeks I found a forever home, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have spent time in this beautiful place with such a beautiful group of people.

With regard to the experience as a workaway exchange, it was wonderful! The work in the garden was very… read more enjoyable, and I had so much fun getting to know all the animals, helping prepare food, and learning about the area. I primarily worked in the garden with Nadine and Mary Christine and got to do a variety of tasks (weeding, working with compost, preparing vegetable beds, harvesting, caring for the animals, etc.) They always explained things and we worked alongside each other most of the time. They were patient and giving of their time and resources, and I never felt confused or unattended to - even with my inability to speak French. The work was not work, but rather opportunities to learn :-). The accommodation was also lovely! I stayed in the cozy and delightful home of Nadine, Mary Christine, Gloria. I had my own room and private shower/sink to use, and they provided clothes for work and harsher weather. We shared all our meals together and the food was DELICIOUS. Gloria is an excellent cook and I had so many farm fresh meals I will try to recreate long after my travels. Additionally, Brenac itself could not be more picturesque. Everyday, I was in awe of the rolling hills, gorgeous mountains, colorful sunsets, and the quaint and historic village. If you want to reconnect with nature and spend time in a peaceful place with a rich history, look no further.

With all of that said, the most special and meaningful aspects of my time in Brenac will be the relationships I developed with these women. Jeanne, Sarah, Nadine, Mary Christine, and Gloria are all individually such loving people, who really opened up their hearts to me. I had so many intimate moments with them that I will forever cherish, and I found them each to be incredibly inspirational in their own ways. As a young women, I am so grateful to have witnessed their sense of sisterhood and friendship, love and respect for one another, as well as their strong sense of independence and autonomy. They are a badass group of women, with deeply caring souls. I am also so grateful for their generosity of time, art, and space. For instance, Devayani (Sarah's daughter and a pianist/composer), shared her brilliant music in intimate concerts. Sarah, a women whose wisdom and deep spirituality touched my soul, also shared the art and poetry of her mother. I didn't speak French, and Jeanne was so willing to translate for me. I enjoyed dinners and parties with their friends and family. I took the Donkeys, goats, and sweet dog Azul on walks. Truly each day was a gift.

I will never fully articulate what this experience meant to me. I am already planning to return :-) <3. Thank you thank you thank you! Merci beaucoup!!!!!!

Hosting Julia for 3 weeks has been a wonderful experience for us! She is an extremely sensitive and intelligent person, which makes communication very deep and beautiful. Julia left a bright memory with all of us. Very efficient at work, she is also consciencious and persevering. She gave us a great help in different tasks: gardening, cleaning,… read more
