Description

Hello!
I am in BRAZIL!
Ten years coming... this trip feels like an extension from the trip I took nearly ten years ago as I was drawn to Brazil to reconnect with some wonderful Brazilian friends I made in India.

Below I have left my description from 9, nearly 10 years ago, just deleting the specifics of travelling)!!! Time flies!
I have read through and it's funny to read those core parts of me are still true. The changes being, that I am now 42, have many more experiences; including travel to Melbourne and Canada working on eco building projects, a permaculture project and assisting making amazing naturally dyed organic bags. Ive worked supporting adults with learning difficulties again since, renovated/rebuilt the interior of a 1980s caravan which became a cozy home for 3/4years, Did my yoga TTC... and the job I left to travel is growing organic vegetables in beautiful Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK. I am as ever practical, creative, highly domesticated (which I have now learnt is important to say : ), I can cook and clean well!)
Please read my older description if you'd like to get more of a feel for me. I am also up for video calls to connect and see if we fit well.
I shall add some recent photos.


Hello from former and present me ! : )


Skills and specific interests:
I leave (left) behind for now, my wonderful job, teaching green wood work to vulnerable adults, and also my freelance work as a green wood chair maker, and the occasional assistant tutor on cob oven building courses!! Lucky me! I am also a very novice basket maker.
I am very much a hands on person (not so fond of being sat at a computer and office all day). I have tried my hand at many wonderful building methods from straw bale building and thatching to timber framing a cruck barn in Wales (see link below for Felin Uchaf).

I am passionate about sustainable living and have been exploring this for 8/9 years. I feel traveling is a real luxury and am aware of the contradictions of flying !!.. I am however allowing myself this luxury and taking this opportunity to grow, connect and learn as much as I can. I do not think of sustainability just in terms of climate and nature, but also am interested in the way most of us live in the modern world...
I consider sustainability through also painting ourselves into that picture in terms of; energy, cycles, our natural rhythms, community and communication, food and health...

General:
I love to eat good food, and be with friends. I am more happy out in a field than a city generally, but love to visit them and explore all the culture and diversity, and food of course!!
I am usually an early to bed kind of person... but evenings involving food, live music or fire... or all together, can be an exception : ).
I am not a rigid kind of person... can adapt to pretty much anywhere and anyone. I usually get on with everyone
My preferred rhythm is early night, early morning : ) (i try). Starting with yoga and a herbal cup of tea ideally... sometimes a yawn, stretch and a coffee!! : )
I like to eat! Trying new food, but also very happy eating the same thing every day!

I am really looking forward to seeing more of this beautiful country.
Looking forward to meeting you.....
