Description
My dream is to help you realize your dream project :). Especially in natural building and construction!
I just finished my studies and I am ready to leave the 'sitting behind my laptop' kind of life behind me. I love to work with my hands and to live in nature, it helps me to get out of my head and into my body.
I really like to learn new things/try things out. I would love to learn more about natural building, building in general, renovating sailing ships, permaculture, herbs and how you can use them, hairdressing, qi gong, any kind of dance, tantra, climbing, living off grid, massage. Well I'm excited to learn a lot of new things haha! The thing I really like about workaway is that I get to learn new skills, but also get to know people in such a special way. It feels like an honor when you let me be part of your life!
Last April (2024) I joined a course in natural building in Portugal and it got me so excited to build and create things. I feel it is something I want to focus on now.

More details about your skills
I really like to make, repair and fix things and work with my hands. I don't have that much experience in building but I am handy and really willing to learn. I do repair my own bike and clothes and make my own shampoo and laundry soap.
I study climate management so I have some knowledge about climate adaptation/mitigation, circular economy and energy transition. I like to organize and get things done, but at the same enjoy life as it is and see the small beautiful details.
Friends describe me as a good listener and a starter of deep conversations, but also sometimes the 'clown' of the group for good time of laughter.
