I was born in Salzburg/Austria in 1994 by two loving souls who gifted me a happy childhood ♡
As soon as I graduated school I followed my deep call to explore the world, which first brought me all across Europe, then to Westafrica and finally made me spend one year in India too. London was my home for a while in between before I started studying illustration in Hamburg, where I rediscovered my passion for healing plants and gardening.
A second trip to Ghana followed, where I organized the Strong Roots Project in a school and also met my soulmate and life companion Diogo. Back in Europe we bumped straight into the lockdown which made us stay in rural Portugal and starting to grow our own food.
This simple way of living made us feel so complete, that once we could travel again, we went to explore permaculture farms and comunities studying the reality beyond the walls of modern society.
Since that time we are hosting the podcast series Yuramin – Guardians of the Land and slowly make our steps towards a selfsufficient life in nature. Nowadays we live in a yurt with only the most essencial things we need, opening our sences to the elements and wildlife surrounding us.
Aguabel is the name I give to my being, because water is the element I feel deeply connected to. Its purity and gently songs are my source of inspiration and creativity.
