More details about your skills
As I grow up on country side in Hungary, and both of my grandparents had huge gardens with small vineyards and some domestic animals, I have got some experience in these area. I'm not a professional, but enthusiastic, hardworking person who love helping around the house with any kind of jobs. Mainly love gardening. I have a M.Sc. degree in Earth Science so love nature, environment.
I was working in hospitality (on events, behind the bar, hotels, etc...) the first few years when I moved to London.
The last few years I've been working in tourism as a trip organiser, event manager, tour guide.
So quite divers, but still keen to learn more and more new skills ;-)

Les encanta cocinar y… read more

I had a great time at the place. As I was kind of new to permaculture and never seen a forest garden I managed to learn things during my stay. The place is wonderful and very interesting. We did a variety of different work almost each day, had amazing fresh food from the garden, cakes every day from his mom. The community and atmosphere was… read more

It is a great… read more

A bit late feedback, but better than never. I spent 1,5 month at this beautiful place in such a nice environment at the beginning of this year . The finca located in a quiet area, not too far from the mountains. Great place to chill, go for a hike, or walk down to the beach in about 45 min. I enjoyed my time at the finca with the other volunteers.… read more
