I'm a jack-of-all-trades (teaching, sales, gardening, computers, building, etc.). Grew up in Sweden where all kinds of dance was my main hobby. Moved to England in 1998 to live with my partner (whom I got together with in Canada) and following her to Circle Dance events. In 2002 we moved to Spain to renovate a Cortijo (farm house) and care for the land and its olive trees. We travel to UK, Canada, and Sweden to teach Circle Dance and I look forward to doing design work and teach in all these countries.
It was through organic gardening I first got interested in PC. I did not understand it then and could not understand why there was so much about urban/balcony gardening in Permaculture Magazine that I discounted it for several years. A few years back I started researching PC again and it made more sense to me since moving to Spain. I have gathered experiences through my life and in April 2012 I understood that the tree that would make structure for all my knowledge was PC. That led me to do the PDC with PermacultureVisions.com.
My main take on PC is the design part, linking the elements together, in all aspects. Water and soil building are main focuses on our property. House design is fun, and trust/legal structures just makes so much sense. Land design is also a main interest of mine.
