About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Building an eco-village / learning center that promotes a healthy and sustainable lifestyle where people can come and learn first hand things like permaculture, natural building, meditation, yoga, plant medicine and ancestral knowledge.

ABOUT ME

I currently live in the mountains at an eco-farm. And trust me, we're ALWAYS up to something: sowing seeds, transplanting little plants, digging trenches, building with mud, carpentry stuff, yoga, meditation, laughing and making fun of things, playing with the dogs, birdwatching, making soap, wine amongst other things.

I love hanging out with people, specially fun, conscious, healthy and hard-working people. I love learning new things and getting to know others better. Love music, books, and good & healthy food.

I've been a vegetarian for about 5 years now and feel great about it, learning new recipes, the nutrients I can get from plants and the lifestyle. I love going to the beach to surf, and the occasional city tour.

I like permaculture and what it stands for, and am learning a lot by applying some of its principles around the farm. I have quite a few plants and fruit trees going and am always interested in planting more!

I feel that what you put out, comes back to you. So here's to good vibes, fullfilling work and fun times! If you feel this way too, don't hessitate to chat me up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only hosted people, haven't couchsurfed yet but it's been a really good experience. I love having people over and listening to their stories about travel and the different cultures they've been exposed to. I love the food that people cook for me while here ;)

I also love the work-trade model we've established here at the farm. You can stay as long as you like, and help us out on the various things we do around here. Trust me, it's way fun.
