Hi.

I moved to a run-down old farm in NE Poland in 2015. We built a straw bale cottage, we've renovated a lot. I learned plumbing and electrics and lots of woodwork. We have nine goats and we get daily fresh milk, sometimes we make cheese. We have chickens and guinea fowl. I'm a certified Permaculture Designer.

We have lots of volunteers coming to stay with us through Workaway and HelpX. They have a good time here, breath fresh air, eat our fresh food, and get practical experience of building and other things.

I got married in 2010 and our daughter Maia was born in 2011.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We like the free and open sharing of accommodation, travels, experiences. We're interested in having people come to stay with us. We have various accommodation options for visitors and we like having guests. And occasionally we like to get out and about ourselves too :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an English Teacher at the moment. In the past I've taught cultural studies/philosophy/art criticism at University. I can share a lot of knowledge about permaculture, and to a lesser extent natural building.
