Lessons From a Bioregional Nomad
Exploring Regenerative Ways of Living, Working and Travelling.
“The Best Dwelling Depends on Terrain” —Tao Te Ching
Life is beautiful. I sometimes cannot stop smiling at the beauty filling my days.
For the past seven months, I’ve been slowly exploring different bioregions in Norway through WWOOF and Workaway, two platforms where you can find meaningful places to volunteer in exchange for food and accommodation.
I stayed at beautiful regenerative farms, a ceramics studio, an orthodox monastery and ‘Paradise Island’, caring for cashmere goats, wild sheep, peacocks, chickens, runner ducks, rabbits, the land and the water.
I traveled like a snail — carrying my home on my back while staying at each place for at least a month, to slowly sense its true essence and potential.
On this journey, I’ve been living the question:
