Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn, am mostly here to learn! But I got some skills up my sleeve for sure: let's build something, or we can talk into the wee hours in english if you like. I am a Wilderness First Responder, a former circus tent roustabout, commercial fisherman, professional camper and outdoors enthusiast. I love to learn about local politics, fauna, flora and culture. I’d love to learn your favorite recipe or a skill you are proud of!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to make art out of words & things I find around me, Love to cook & especially tell stories. I am also very experienced with manual labor in many, many forms. I have 11 years of woodland conservation chainsaw use, 5 years permaculture experience and have been in and out of kitchens as a sous-chef and line cook for a while. Let’s make handmade raviolis from scratch or trade yummy vegetarian recipes!
