About me

Hey, I'm Emma or Em.
I'm English & grew up in England, I have always had the travel bug, love to meet new people and experience different cultures. I have just graduated from university in London as a Medical Herbalist.
I love nature and spending as much time as I can outdoors, love camping, cycling, wild swimming, gardening, foraging. I love to explore new lands, discover new flora, & forage my food.
I am desperate to get out of England, autumn is approaching and it's cold here already, I really don't enjoy the winters here, they are so dark and grey. I am looking to go to a place that I can work hard and contribute in some way, feel as though I've been living inside my computer whilst studying for the last 4 years, I need less screen time & I want to share my skills and learn from others.
It's a difficult time to travel but Portugal and Italy seem to be currently open and exempt from non-essential travel restrictions. I am looking to stay somewhere for at least a month.
Offerings:
Cook (I make mostly vegan food, lots of nourishing curries, ramens, chillies, not a great baker, but trying to improve this)
Gardener (interested in permaculture)
Herbalist (work with plant medicine)
Forager (plant identification)
Basic yoga & meditation (not a teacher, but have my own self-practice)
Confident swimmer
Crocheter & basic seamstress
Social media skills (Instagram & some basic website design)

Preferred location

I want to volunteer in Europe, at the moment due to travel restrictions I think it wise to stay closer to home and explore the beauty of Portugal and Italy.
