One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveled 8000km solo around my home country learning about food, seed and living in the future.
Teach, Learn, Share
I travel with a box of seeds from small holder farmers all over South Africa which I share and add road I go along. I would love to learn about plants and foods and medicines in your part of the world. I can teach knitting, crochet and would love to learn other craft skills.
