ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing, somewhat shy, insecure goofball? Who finds filling things like this out to be really uncomfortable.
I recently graduated from college and did the whole "having a job (one I really did care about) and being a responsible adult who paid her own bills (living with wonderful friends)" thing, and even with really great circumstances I still found myself feeling generally icky and bored and stuck and like I was making a huge mistake or wasting my life or something just not good. So I quit my job, moved back in with my parents, and am taking a few months (or longer?) to travel around the states and see where it takes me. I've been doing some WWOOFing and really enjoying it. Figuring things out everyday and always learning and growing.

PHILOSOPHY

Always working on this one

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At Ricketts Glen State Park I hiked the Falls Trail one spring after we had crazy amounts of rain and everything was just so amazingly green, wild, wet- all the falls were super waterfally and everything was super-duper alive. It was great... and spiritual.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not especially skilled at any one thing, but more sorta good at a mix of stuff:
I know how to pasteurize and culture goat cheese- because that's something everyone wants to learn.
I know some basic gardening related things.
I like to talk about philosophical ideas and stuff.
I know some real basic yoga.
I have a handful of yummy recipes.
I have a little bit of knowledge of astrology and how to read natal star charts (not making them so much).

I'm open to learning anything!
Any and all languages.
At some point in the next year I plan on spending a good chunk of time living/volunteering on a small permaculture farm and would love to try off the grid living- so anything related I would love to learn about.
I like to make art- who doesn't? Teach me some specific, personal art techniques? and maybe I can do the same.
