CURRENT MISSION

Traveling around the world in order to connect and work on the land, cultivate skills to live a more sustainable, less consumer driven lifestyle for myself and my future family.

ABOUT ME

Living with a Student of Life mentality. Continuously learning and growing, feeding my passions and following the practices that bring me joy and peace. My life is all about simple pleasures - reading a good book, sharing food harvested from the land with loved ones, creating with my hands, good conversation and laughs.
I love to travel - I've been wandering around this world mostly solo since I was a teenager. I hope to always be able to explore new places and experience the beautiful cultures of this world.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave a place better than you found it. Keep an open heart and mind.
