Description
Hello potential hosts!
I am four years into a very random traveling tale. Along the way I have garnered some permaculture and animal minding experience from WorkAway projects in the Mediterranean and Australia, and developed a real appetite for learning to live with the land.
I'm a massage therapist by trade and have done some admin work in a humanitarian context. I've basic woodwork and cob building experience and slowly a growing knowledge of herbal medicines. I loveee to cook! And play the piano!! If you can teach me how to play by ear, I will be soooo happy! Hahaha
I am a calm, grounded presence (with an inordinately loud laugh and 4/10 dance moves). I am usually emotionally attuned and perceptive, and really value these qualities in hosts, too.
Over a few exchanges, I've learned through experience that the best ones have a spark of really wanting to know each other and share skills and life experience with pride and joy. If I am just Backpacker #403 or you need someone to pair 1000 socks, I will probably not be satisfied by our exchange. Equally, I bring my heart, curiosity and love to your projects. If it's really these things that fill you most from exchanges, I am sure we will be very productive and have lots of fun! ;)
Nice to meet you! 🌼🌼🌼

It took me a long time to write this review for you. I apologize.
It is much easier to write something for an average helper then for someone outstanding like you! It very easily sounds saucy.
Anyway, Ellora stayed with us nearly 3 months during 2 visits. She did stand out of the long row of helpers we had over the years. She did all… read more

I left Ali's place three days before I had planned because of an issue with bed bugs. This came up twice during my 2-week stay. Ali was kind to get medicine the first time, and to spray the… read more
Things to be mindful of: it is cold inside the volunteer house (fireplace in lieu of central heating) & in the winter, bucket showers can be tough (but this is all detailed on Javier's profile).
The pros of my experience were many: Javier and the other WorkAwayers were fantastic - Javier has a gentle,… read more
