Descrição
Hello! Aleka and Joel here currently looking for volunteering opportunities in Argentina and Chile in November and December. I have recently finished studying sustainability and climate change adaptation, after a busy few years in Wales I am taking some time out before relocating to Canada at the end of 2024.

I have obtained my Permaculture Design Certificate back in 2019 and have been applying the principles where possible since. For the last 5 years I have been growing my own vegetables, fruits and flowers. Over this time I have also volunteered at several sustainability projects in the UK, Europe and Malaysia.

I have passion for looking for the goodness in people and situations and this is portrayed in my work ethics. Interacting with new people and being able to share cultures, backgrounds and stories with people all over the world is something I have enjoyed and also learnt a lot from so far on my travels trip. I am adventurous and always up for trying new things, as well as keeping up with activities that I am already interested in. At home I regularly run, keep fit and practice yoga so will be continuing this on my travels.

During my free time I also volunteer at a community food kitchen, cooking meals for around 50 people at a time. I love cooking at home for friends and family, at home I eat a plant based diet and have lots of good dishes I would be willing to cook for communities/ groups of people.

One day I hope to have access to land where I can start a permaculture/ education project. I haven't quite decided where I want this base to be... maybe it will come clear to me on this trip :)

Happy for you to contact me if anything comes up short notice as I am already in the area.

Aleka :)

Carla and Steven were very friendly and welcoming as hosts. We spent time together before they went on their trip, and we felt welcomed into their home. We had just arrived in Canada, and being on Bowen Island was a beautiful experience. There are plenty of hikes in the surrounding area, or you can just sit by the lake and take in the breathtaking… read more

Aleka and Joel were fantastic with our two kitties and in helping start our seedlings for the upcoming growing season. Everything was neatly labeled and well-organized. We really appreciated the regular kitty photo updates while we were traveling. They were great with communication leading up to and during their stay.

We enjoyed having them so… read more

Me and my partner stayed here for just over two weeks, we had so many lovely moments. The most memorable being with Roberto, he is one of the kindest people we met on our South America journey. We spent our evenings sharing a meal, listening to music and enjoying nice food. The area is remote but you don’t really need to leave the land as there’s… read more

Aleka and Joel were fantastic guests and friends. They stayed for 3 weeks and helped us so much with our children, our garden, our yard, our school project and our chicken coop! They were extremely reliable and our kids really enjoyed getting to know them. Aleka shared so much of her horticulture knowledge with us and Joel his passion for music.… read more

Rochelle and Don are warm and welcoming, we very much enjoyed our time in their cosy cabin. The work is varied and they are also mindful of what you are interested in/find fun to do. The hours are flexible so that you can explore Bariloche. Being involved with the School was very special and unique so thank you for letting us be a small part of… read more

I spent just under a month with Anna and Marcel at the Project. As I reflect on my experience here I have nothing but beautiful memories to take with me. Both Anna and Marcel are kind, open hearted and have great humour (we spent lots of meal times laughing). It was clear to me before I even arrived at the project that what it is looking to be… read more

Aleka stayed with us throughout August 2024. During this time, we got to know her as someone who is well-organized and has proven to be very flexible and adaptable. She quickly established her own rhythm and found her place within the community.

Aleka is very curious, asks many genuine questions, and is especially eager to learn. She always… read more

Aleka is a lovely human being! She came with a lot of enthusiasm, knowledge and was a hard worker. She also had great ideas and implemented them on our land. She was creative too and made us a really beautiful sign with foliage and a lovely quote. She was a great help in the evenings and enjoyed cooking and made yummy food. She is a very sweet and… read more

We stayed with Marla and Gary durning August and spent time helping with different tasks. We learnt so much in just a short time about living off grid and had opportunity to use our own initiative / ideas to help with the over all vision of the land. Both Gary and Marla care greatly about the land and this is shown in their efforts. We will… read more

Was fortunate enough to spend most of May on the beautiful island of PB, all the experiences/ everything I learnt during this time I am grateful for and will cherish. It is hard to quite put into words some of these moments that were so peaceful, pure and unique to Pulau Bidan.
