CURRENT MISSION

Eat cheese, befriend cats, improve my whistling.

ABOUT ME

After 22 years in the great Dairy State, and a brief stint in the Pacific Northwest, I decided to venture to Israel. I'm currently living in Akko, where I volunteer in a high school and a community garden, and teach environmental education and garden in a Druze community.

When I'm not busy volunteering, I spend a lot of time cooking and baking, planning upcoming travels, writing in my blog, and attempting to keep up with world events .

PHILOSOPHY

Only boring people get bored. There are always a plethora of interesting things to do, you just have to be willing to find them.
