About Me

CURRENT MISSION

is to find some land to live self sufficiently.

ABOUT ME

I used to be a philosophy teacher in London and now i'm following my dream to learn how to farm. I've been working on organic community farms in Canada for almost 2 years and loving every minute of it! I like to travel and have adventures whenever possible as i'm addicted to unpredictability.

PHILOSOPHY

to have diverse interests and to be environmentally aware.
