About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the full

ABOUT ME

I am from travelling blood and love every drop of it.
Like to help people if they want help. I love people
and life and I live every moment to the full. I live
in Bulgaria and work voluntary helping organic
farming communities to connect with volunteers from all
over the world. I also volunteer at a farm north of Sofia. I also, as part of my job, I go as part of a crew at festivals. We help with setup, hold some workshops in one of the teepees and some cleanup and recycling. I have a good sense of humour and can sing a song a play a tune. I like to laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow.

The sun always shines.
