ABOUT ME

Hello there. I'm João and recently moved in to Ourense to a volunteering project about environmental education and permaculture. I love to read, to write, and take long walks, enjoy some little things. I'm fascinated by all the diversity in this world and starting to love it more. I really enjoy a good talk and that's one of the ways to connect with me, I also like to take a few moments of my daily routine to myself, my inner thoughts, as I believe that self-knowledge is such an important tool to trying to be happy. I'm interested in meditation and some eastern practices, I believe in altered states of consciousness to be another great tool to that self-knowledge. I have a few animals, grown up surrounded by some of them, so I like to trying to communicate with them.
I'm not weird...just a lil bit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn the basics for surviving in the woods, and learn a bit more of permaculture and yoga. Well I don't know if I can really teach anything, but I'm open for a good talk and sharing some ideas and experiences. If
