Les activités qui m'intéressent :

I would love to stay on a farm, taking care of animals, food and other tasks, and being part of the family or community. I have time for 3 to 4 weeks at a time.

Description

Hey there!

I am a curious, open-minded and creative person who feels a lot of joy being in nature, exploring cultures and connecting with kind people, sharing stories and learning from each other. From time to time I also enjoy being on my own, reading a book, journaling, writing poetry or hiking.

I am currently living and working in Germany and looking for places such as farms and community projects to stay for a few weeks and help with animals, gardening, food and other tasks.

After completing my studies (in Germany, France, Switzerland and Spain) in 2019 I was travelling in Asia for a year. This was the first time I used workaway and I had some great experiences working as a tourist guide in a hands-off elephant sanctuary and as an English teacher for kids, teenagers and adults in Bangkok. I later lived in ashrams in the north of India for eight months, learning and practicing Yoga and Ayurveda as well as helping with gardening, meals and childcare.

These experiences have deeply impacted me: I've realized how little I need in order to live a happy life and how much I value living in community and in harmony with nature. I value local and seasonal food, clean rivers and fresh air :) Also, I love hands-on work and learning new things.

In my free time, I love going hiking and I am constantly educating myself in the areas of embodiment, somatics, bodywork and the body's intelligence.

See you soon!

  Régime alimentaire spécial
  I prefer eating local and seasonal food and meat from animals that were treated with care and respect (no factory farming). I have no difficulties adapting to a vegetarian diet as well as I have been vegetarian myself for a long time.
